"Dave Barr, from California, rode his 1972 Harley-Davidson around the world. Six continents, three and a half years (September 1990 - May 1994) and 83,000 miles. Dave is the only one to tour the world on a Harley. If this wasn't enough of a distinction, he's also the only disabled person to have accomplished such a feat. Dave is a double amputee, lost both of his legs to a land mine explosion in Angola in 1981. Dave has written and published 'Riding The Edge'. Deciding he needed yet another challenge, in the WINTER of 1996-97, he started at the French coast of the Atlantic Ocean and across Europe, Russia and Siberia all the way to the Pacific Ocean! The total mileage of the journey was 13,000 ridden miles. Documented in 'Riding the Ice'"
