Over 50 years of motorcycling-riding, chopping, and eventually
owning motorcycle stores. Stu Segal and his friends started riding
and building bikes in the '60s, before the big name builders-before
the reality shows, build-offs and movie star wives. Stu rode to
work, rode to play, toured the country on his bikes. Twenty-five
years ago he began writing for Iron Biker News, later as a blogger,
occasionally for himself. Rants, raves, and sometimes ramblings . .
. about motorcyclists and their world, the world of bikes and
bikers. Riding from the '60s non-stop to the new millennium, always
taking notes; here are some of the articles Stu wrote along the
way, along with contemporary articles examining motorcycling of the
past as well as motorcycling in America today.
Mike and Kim have made a habit of traveling the world on adventure
motorcycles. From the wilds of Alaska to the tip of South America,
they've wandered along gravel and paved roads taking in all that
they see and making it their mission to learn about the people of
the world. On this adventure, they each rent BMW motorcycles in
Spain to wander discover Europe for themselves. Traveling through
Spain, France, Andorra, Switzerland and Italy, they travel over
tiny single lane roads, over mountains and alongside raging rivers
to visit tiny towns, meet the locals and take in some of the
world's most spectacular scenery. With no planned route, they are
free to wander and discover what different cultures are all about.
Along the way, through their adventures they learn about the people
of Europe and more than a little about themselves. Take the
handlebars, push the starter button, shift into first gear and
seize the the opportunity to wander with them. You don't know where
you'll end up on this ride. By the time you have finished this
journey, you will understand why the saying "Not All Wanderers Are
Lost" is true. Come and join Mike and Kim and ride to adventure.
