His real name is Urs Pedraita. But to the motorcycle distance riding community, the Swiss motorcycle fanatic is “Grisu Grizzly.” is preparing to ride a Victory Cross Country motorcycle around the world in the fastest time possible. The current record for riding in all continents (not just through two antipodal points) stands at 120 days and two hours. But Urs, wants to ride the 100,000 km in under 100 days, which will mean he’ll break the existing record by 20 days. He will set off on the attempt in February 2016, starting and ending in Zurich, by riding an almost standard Victory Cross Country. Additional items added to the bike include a larger 33-litre fuel tank, a customised seat with a back support and two LED lights for better visibility during night rides. More details will be released over the coming months about his ‘all continents’ attempt.

I am so envious of folks who can make the time for pursuits such as this. Keep the wind at your back and the rubber on the road.
Good luck to him !!!
