The Beginning

My motorcycle adventure started in the early eighties with a Yamaha XT250.

INSPIRATION

The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something

Most of us at one time or another need inspiration and have looked at someone else doing something and been truly inspired. 

Inspiration leads us to wonder if “I” could do the same.  It doesn’t matter what it is but watching someone do something extraordinary put’s something on the back of your mind that keeps ticking and reminding that maybe you could do that too.

I have been watching and reading stories about motorcycle adventures for a while and some more than others have really inspired me to get on the road and do something that I thought was only a dream.  

Englishman Nathan Millward had moved to Australia to work but after unexpected complications he was told he had to leave Australia.  England is on the other side of the globe but with no place else to go, Nathan sets off from Australia on a 105cc postie motorcycle he named “Dorothy” and rides from Sydney to London across eighteen countries with no planning or preparation.  Nathan crossed India, Pakistan, China and Russia as well as other countries along the way including riding through the Himalayas in freezing conditions.  With only a few days of preparation he left on a 9 month, 23,000 mile adventure.  

If you need inspiration to start your own adventure, spend a few minutes watching “Sydney to London on a Wing & a Prayer” below or buy one of his books through the link below.
