TRAVERSE:
And Now For Something
Completely Different
T
RAVERSE continues to go from APOLOGY
strength to strength, and that's
all thanks to you; our readers
and our contributors. Thank
you!
Since the last issue our small
team have had the pleasure of road
testing a Suzuki V-Strom 1000. It's a
bike that surprises in so many ways.
We also tagged along on one of the
best manufacturer based adventure
rides around, the Suzuki Adventure
Weekend in the Bathurst area of New
South Wales, Australia. Thanks must
go to Lewis, Matt and the team at
Suzuki Motorcycles Australia.
In this issue we have usual great
strories of travel and experience from
all over the world, including something
very special from someone who once
said to me that riding a motorcycle was
dangerous. Paul Pritchard, a climber
of note, rides from Australia's lowest
point to the highest on two wheels of
sort. It's not motorcycles, but is two
wheeled adventure and when you read
Paul's story you'll understand why we
published it. It's a great read!
We have the usual reviews, books,
bikes and gear that will make any long
distance ride a little more comfortable.
TRAVERSE 5
In the previous issue of TRAVERSE we
made two errors, and unfortunately
didn't credit photographers for their
outstanding work.
We apologise deeply to both Viv
Canini and Michnus Olivier who we
failed to credit for their work.
Viv's work accompanied the India
travel feature titled Distinguished ...,
while Michnus' work was with the
Colombia travel feature; Perfect For
Pasty Poms.
The work and adventure's of both
Viv and Michnus are well worth
checking out. The images below carry
links to their sites and work.
Now, read on, and enjoy the ride.
