Charleston motorcyclist takes riding to extremes (http://www.jg-tc.com/articles/2009/11/15/news/doc4afe135cc2cf1020816690.prt)
Life is a series of challenges, and when they don't present themselves, Tim Yow of Charleston goes looking for them.
Yow, 66, a serious biker and businessman, completed a 17,000-mile motorcycle trip in a month this summer, with an extra week thrown in for bike maintenance. There were challenges to spare.
The journey took him from Florida to California, then up the Coastal Highway to Alaska, up to Prudhoe Bay, across Canada and into Newfoundland and Labrador, and back to Florida....
That's pretty cool. A good friend just did a Saddle Sore - 1000 miles in 24 hours - i hope to do one if i can set it up next summer.
When I win the Indian, I expect I'll be doing some long runs myself!
