Is your traveling from Maine to Milwaukee or even Seattle to Miami your idea of a ride? <\/p>

You might want to think again. <\/b><\/p>

Your BikerTrash.com staff has been doing some research and we have found many people whose idea of a journey to ride a motorcycle across a continent or around the world!<\/p>

In this, the new International editions we will be bringing you the stories of many of the hardy (or foolhardy) individuals.<\/p>

Who knows? The world-travel bug might just bite you too.<\/p>

Emilio Scotto<\/b> set off from Buenos Aires on his Gold Wing and rode over 456,729 miles across 214 countries during a 10-year period. Along the way he learned 5 languages, became a Muslim and married a girl in India. According to the Guiness Book of Records this is a record for motorcycle travel.<\/p>

Peter and Kay Forwood’s<\/b> around-the-world trip on a Harley started in Australia in 1996 – and is still under way. They are currently in Botswana. Thus far they have been to Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Burma, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, China, Greece, Iran, Turkey, Macedonia, Albania, Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Monaco, France, Andorra, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, Jersey, Guernsey, Luzemborg, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Liechenstein, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Faroe Island, Great Britain, Ireland, Isle of Man, San Marino, Vatican City, Malta, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt – well you get the idea!<\/p>

When travel journalist and technology writer Carla King<\/b> set out solo on her side-car equipped Ural on a 4-month jaunt along the American Borders little did she know that trip would lead to other trips to China and to India. Carla King’s three motorcycle journeys – American Borders, China Road, and Indian Sunset – will be published in book form in 2001. To be notified of the publication date, how to order, events, and other related information, join her mailing list by sending an email to carlaking-subscribe@listbot.com<\/a> <\/p>

Then there is Bruce Clarke’s trips to Australia, New Zealand and Costa Rica. Bruce’s Australian trip<\/a> was one of the first travelogues that we published in BikerTrash.<\/p>

Then there is Pluto the Tattoo Artist who is on a world tour on his Harley. Dave Barr, a double amputee, who made a solo ride across Siberia in the winter! <\/p>
