Summary

When it comes to getting sidetracked, Ian Coates is what some might call an expert. In 1999, he went on a four month motorcycle trip that lasted fourteen years and a few years ago he went for a day ride that took him a year. He’s actually been on the road for most of the last two decades. Fortunately, for Ian, he has a very understanding wife. And last month when we caught up with Ian, he was at home again in England waiting out the world pandemic and planning his next adventure. But for how long this time? And where has he been for the last few years? More motorcycle travel episodes available on Adventure Rider Radio at adventureriderradio.com. Want to help out?
