A french couple on the road From Alaska to Patagonia during one year starting in May 2011.

It was absolutely quiet except for the wind, which blew in gusts and swirls. In all directions, all 360 degrees, vistas of the vast boreal tundra. Now that we had reached the Arctic Circle what adventure lay before us?

This is the place Lady Riders come first to find the quality motorcycle gear they need. Our goal is to offer leather motorcycle jackets, chaps and pants, leather vests, women's biker boots, motorcycle helmets and accessories that will keep you safe on the road while allowing you to express your individualism as a confident woman on a motorcycle. No more searching through men's gear to find something that comes close to fitting. This is women's gear in women's sizes from XS to 5XL.

Betty (Rosann) is riding a motorbike …around the world (with Dan)…a little bit at at time…mostly in 3 month bites. (one of us has to work) The story is loosely about Betty…travelling through countries and little towns…bypassing big cities and big highways (as much as possible).
Encouraged by friends, work mates, complete strangers and family…we write a little bit of story each day…take a few photos…the odd movie…a few maps and other stuff (bad jokes and inappropriate language) added on as well.
Mostly, the story is easy to understand…except for the little bits of Tasmanian peculiar language and spelling……….just ignore these bits.

One Man's search for answers while traveling throughout North and Central America on a Motorcycle.

Being both motorcycle riders with a love for travelling, we talked about touring the world on bikes about two years ago. After looking into logistics/constraints and places we wanted to explore, we decided to tour the Americas from Alaska, USA to Ushuaia, Argentina. We also wanted to have the same motorcycle to simplify maintenance, and find something we would both feel comfortable riding. We ended up chosing the Suzuki V-Strom 650, a 07' grey one for Chad and a 05' red one for Caroline. We left for our journey on 6/14/09 from Washington, DC.
