However this was not your typical large displacement adventure touring motorcycle, Nathan did this 9-month, 23,000 mile trip through 18 countries on a 105cc postal carrier bike. As if that weren't enough, he later decided to ride that same bike 8000 miles across the United States from New York to Alaska. Listen in to hear about his fantastic adventure across America in this episode. He also talks about his new bike the BMW R1200 GS Adventure which he will riding in the states this month.
