    Default Another hardcore adventure rider

    I had the chance to meet this character when I was riding my bike in Death Valley this past February. He's on a 10 year motorcycle (sidecar rig) ride around the world. I don't know if he's independantly wealthy or what but I'd love to get that kind of time off.

    Click on the photos to advance through his website.

    Check out his winter ride above the arctic circle. He rode the ice road across a section of the Beaufort Sea. Definitely hardcore.

    Welcome to the forum. Nice truck and trailer.

    What are some of the highlights on your coming trip? US based? Down to South America?

    You have a great set-up.

    Right now, USA, Canada and Alaska for the millionth time... but you know how that goes... Spirit has not seen it all!!!...



    Like to go back and do Europe as I lived there 24 years, but again so much to see... Africa... the problem is Spirit getting into other countries... delicate situation at times, specially being an American Pit Bull... the sweetest creature you will meet by the way!

    Will see... be well... Ara

    I saw his website a few years ago- he's independently wealthy. Not sure if he talks about his past on it anymore (and I can't remember what he used to do). Sounds like a nice guy though.
