I enjoyed the reports on this journey. Thanks. Reminds me of that bloke Stevens who rode his penny farthing from Sanfransisco to the American east coast, across Europe, Turkey, Iran, and India to China in the nineteenth century. He was similarly equipped as far as bivy bags and such, but he did carry a Smith and Wesson which he needed to brandish at villains more than once. The most striking thing in reading the account was that for the most part, the Great Plains were without roads almost entirely in 1884 and much of the rest of the USA had barely metalled tracks.

As a lad, between 1969 and 1973, I rode various small motor bikes - various villiers two strokes, a C15 and an A10 sidecar outfit up and down between London and Newcastle, every six weeks.The journeys seemed pretty epic at the time, though not as epic is this lad's. On the James Cadet it was a ten hour ordeal, crawling along with the trucks on the inside lane.It was pretty grim in January, I remember. I used to put newspapers under my jumpers and sometimes plastic bags on my feet. ____________________ 2016 Triumph Street Twin; 2000 Honda CG125; 1997 Honda Nighthawk CB250 |
