Nathan Millward is an undeniably remarkable chap who really has devoted the last 13 or so years of his life to pure, unbridled adventure. Here in North Devon our community is pretty close-knit so when my barber told stories of a guy who travelled from Sydney-London on a postie bike, I immediately knew that I had to find out just who this bloke was!
Thankfully my barber had seen the video Fraser Byrne had made about this croc-wearing-pioneer and informed me of the impact it would make to a petrol-head trapped in suburbia (I joke as I love my home, but you get the point). Armed with my new found inspiration after viewing the video, I proceeded to make contact with Nathan.
Essentially what I feel we've tried to create is a part 2 to that voyage of tremendous proportions - because ultimately what does happen to a person once the dust has settled and the end of the road has been reached...
This short film was made with the intentions of showing people that adventures don't always have to be dictated by miles travelled and countries passed. Nathan has now embarked on a new adventure that undoubtedly is his most exciting yet - A family and a business based around motorcycle adventures. Does life get better than that?
I just wanted to say a special thanks to Fraser Byrne - Although we've only had a few chats via email, I cannot express how kind and helpful you've been.

The Honda CT110 is a small dual-sport motorcycle made by Honda in Japan since 1980 and is sold in various parts of the world. The bike has sold well worldwide.
The base CT110 105 cc (6.4 cu in) four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine which is nearly horizontal in the step-through tube/stamping frame. It has a semi-automatic four-speed transmission and a centrifugal clutch. That coupled with a 2:1 ratio gear reduction box known as the dual range sub-transmission, which switched into operation using a small lever under the transmission case, allowed the bike to climb steep slopes.
The CT110 is still in production and sold in other countries around the world. In Australia and New Zealand it is known as a "Postie Bike" due to its use by Australia Post and New Zealand Post as a delivery bike, without the dual range sub-transmission. A slightly modified version, the CT110 AG, is sold for agricultural use.
After almost 30 years of only being available via second-hand sale from Australia Post in bulk lots, Honda began selling the road-registerable model to the domestic market in July 2009.
Apart from the Australian market, large numbers of CT110 and CT90 models were also brought to Tanzania in east Africa, where many are still in use today. Among the original users was Danish aid organisation Danida. During the late 1970s and 1980s they were the standard issue motorcycle for volunteers.

Just sold my 1150GS and you, your film and The Speed Shop idea is a massive inspiration. Who thought you could have such a fabulous adventure on a little bike like this. Your video has helped changed my whole attitude to the size of bike I need and what I need to spend on the GS's replacement. Dorothy is fabulous and obviously huge fun that takes you to a happy place. The comment re Romance of Motorcycling and falling out of love with motorcycling - hit the spot perfectly.

Read your book when it came out. Loved it. Just bought another postie bike. I used to buy and sell them. Now they’ve gone through the roof in value here in Oz. I’ll keep this one. Thinking of crossing the Simpson desert next year on it. Great to be doing a job you love.

Great film. I will add that one of Nathan's posties (I can't remember the name) carried me up some very steep bits of rocky terrain easily, even without the low range transmission. And I'm 20 stone! Great and amazing little bikes! Unstoppable.

The CT110 is no longer in production, they make a CT125.

So Antony know is The Australian Postal Service currently buying new CT 125's? I am reading they're going to phase them out for electric Kyburz trikes.

Thinking about taking my moms old 1981 CT 110 to Minnesota from California. I’m a little worried about getting run over seeing it only does 45 mph wide open. I wouldn’t take it on the interstate but still. Any suggestions? Thanks
