Hi Will,
An American named Robert Fulton Jr. did a RTW back in 1932 on
a Douglas motorcycle. I've read the book he wrote about it called
"One Man Caravan". No idea if he was the first or not.
The blurbs below say he did 17 countries and a bunch of miles.
Don't know if he actually "circumnavigated" the world or not but its
a pretty good tale anyway, check it out.
I would go to Whitehorse Press and try to get them to re-publish
your friends book. These types of titles seem to do well these days so maybe
the Whitehorse folks could help getting the book back out there?
Hell, I'll buy it!!
See below links for Fulton info.
