Today I want to share a story with you from a fellow rider named Stephen Oliver. Now, Stephen is from the UK,

and he's been a good part of his life, busy with work, as many of us do. He also did what a lot of people

do with motorcycling. He started riding at an early age, then got sidetracked, and then came back to it later on.

He's got quite an interesting story that I think you've got a lot of chuckles out of when you hear this. The ride, though, that we're talking about today is a recent adventure that Stephen

took from the UK down to the sunlit roads of southern Spain and then all the way to the Arctic

edge of Europe. Now, this trip is really inspired by a poorly, extremely poorly chosen gift that Stephen bought for his wife,

that turned out to be, well, unpopular with his wife, uncomfortable to deal with, yet in the end,

an incredible adventure that's fueled him for even more. We're also going to talk about some great

riding areas that he's discovered along the way that you may not be aware of.

Anyway, I'm Jim Martin.
