Dr. G had been a hard-to-hit-moving-target for an interview since he landed in Los Angeles. This photo finally captured him arriving at his home base after having logged another 3,000 miles in the USA since July 2, the official End of his sixth motorcycle ride around the world.
Retracing Dr. G’s adventures over the last 3,000 miles found him taking time out to research some seemingly esoteric items like how bill collectors from Colombia deal with con men and debtors (“We give them a visit.”) and trying to locate a long missing BMW R100 GS in Mexico.
A three day stop at the 27thrunning of the big dogs, known as The Big Dog Adventure Ride www.horizonsunlimited.com/bigdog found Dr. G off loading his travel gear and joining the event. The fraternity of like-minded adventure aficionados shared high Colorado Rocky Mountain motorcycling, monster two-inch thick T-bone steaks and seminars from the road around the globe. Dr. G gave a rolling symposium titled A LOST MAN: MOTORCYCLE TRAVELING THE GLOBE WITH A 21stCENTURY UGLY AMERICAN, with solicitations from the audience for contributions towards an eventual novel and collection of ugly American character tales.
Reflections and an in depth roadside analysis of the psychological make-up were made by two of the Big Dog entrants who spent time during their three days of high mountain adventure when stopped at Colorado’s LOST MAN Trailhead pictured above.
