However, I'll have to settle to riding this guy's adventure by reading his detail account. I think he'll long hold the record...
...get on your bikes a ride! |

Goldsboro, NC | I love to ride and I look forward to whenever/wherever my first truly long ride will be.
On the other hand, I can guaran-damn-tee you all that I will be staying in US/Canada.
Europe is populated by people who despise us for being free. Too much (not all) of the rest of the world is undeveloped crap with banditry and corruption widespread and capricious. At least here in the states, we keep our nation's worst characters where they belong..... inside the beltway. |

| I've been fortunate enough to have lived and ridden all over the world, but I am still fascinated by stories of folks like this that spend years of their life travelling continents.
When I was very young and only a few years into my first career my neighbor who wasn't much older had just broken up with his wife. He decided to take a trip he had been planning for many years and traveled the USA and up the Alaskan Hwy. My last conversation with him the day before he departed was telling in that he said to me "he didn't acre if he died the day he returned, but he was going to make this the trip ofa lifetime."
On the day he returned he rode into town from his home to pick up a few groceries to get him by until he could get his stuff in order. A 78 year old woman made an illegal U-Turn into his path and he ended up under her car. He was pronounced on the scene, 28 years old and died of a massive heart attack, no physical injuries from the accident. It is a sad ending, but it was the ride of a lifetime. |
