First Coast To Coast Motorcycle Ride Of America 1903

[KTMsm]

I'm researching a RTW ride (which I doubt will ever happen) but I came across this site and the story of George Wyman - the first to ride across America in 1903 on a 200cc 1.25 Hp bike

Paul has retraced his path on a T7 - I thought some of you might be interested

It is amazing the distances travelled in the early years of motorcycling by pioneers like him on these low powered unreliable bikes.
A long-barreled .38 Smith & Wesson revolver as part of the very basic traveling kit ! , times have certainly changed, if you haven't got the latest hyper adventure bike with all the electronic gizmos, sat nav and the full aluminium case set nowadays then people cannot go further than the corner shop.

I have book marked the link so I can read the full story in full at my leisure, thanks for the link.
