Last Ride of 2014 & The Ride of My Life
/5 Comments/in lost, North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanSince my book FORKS was published this summer I have been on a whirlwind promotional tour. Crisscrossing the county several times in a van wrapped in photos and graphics from the book and toting a pallet of books and my trusty F650GS Dakar motorcycle.
