I posted a couple days ago about our new television show I’m hosting that is based loosely on my global motorcycle adventures and best-selling book “FORKS: A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection—Three Years • 35 Countries • One Motorcycle.” At the time of posting I did not have access to the promo/tease video for […]

My 2016 summer adventure had me race from Iceland to Greece while navigating […]
