Default This Guy Makes Every One Of Us a Poser

He has just left on his latest ride. He is taking a 03 Sportster from eastern Europe through all of Russia from the Mediterranean and Black Sea to the Sea of Japan.

His previous trips include a round the world run on a 1948 Indian, and another round the world trip on a 1962 Harley chopper! I read his ride report of the chopper trip and it was epic.

He is an Alabama bike mechanic and bike builder that does a trip a year.

Take a look at his latest ride report, his trips are pretty amazing. Nothing fancy, just sits his azz down and rides.

Not just your garden variety sportster. Love the KTM front end.

Been following RTWDoug's stories for a while now. His last story, round the world on a hardtail shovel was 1st class. Some very excellent pics of biker parties as done by the rest of the world. Some of those eastern bloc women are smokin.

agree - hardcore.
