From London Traffic to Global Motorcycle Rider

Damian (Demon) Rowley spent 35 years riding professionally in London—first as a courier, then as one of Virgin’s elite “limo bike” riders, trusted to ferry celebrities and executives through the city’s relentless traffic. With over half a million miles behind him, Damian shares the toll of crashes, injuries, and burnout, as well as the moment he realized he needed a change. At 50, he walked away from security, ended a long relationship, and set out solo on a KTM 690 to ride the world. His story isn’t just about motorcycles—it’s about reinvention, confronting fear, and discovering personal growth when the safety nets are gone.
