Peter & Kay Forwood - Riding the World on a Harley

Some of you may know about them. I didn't until recently and I have to say they are undoubtedly the champions of world travel on a Harley. They've traveled for 13 years on a 1994 Electraglide Classic, visiting 193 countries. Their website is here:

The FAQ's give a great overview. I'm just gobsmacked that they've done as much travel on as much dirt as they have. I'd love to meet them someday. What an inspiration!

Good girls go to heaven. Bad ones go to hell. And a girl on a Harley goes anywhere she wants.

I met them when they came through Saudi several years ago. They were using the local dealers shop to change swingarm bushings. They were busy so we didn't have much of a chance to chat but they both seemed like they would be fun to have at a BBQ for the afternoon.

That's cool you were able to meet them. They've had far fewer problems with their Harley than I would have expected given the conditions they've ridden in. I hear there are a lot of Harley riders in Saudi. What is it like riding over there? Can you do so as a Westerner?
