Dave Barr rode his 1972 Harley-Davidson around the world, across six continents and took a gruelling three and a half years (September 1990 - May 1994) and 83,000 ridden miles to complete. 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, who lost both of his legs to a land mine explosion in Angola in 1981.
Deciding he needed yet another challenge, Dave set out on another adventure in the winter of 1996-97. The journey started at the French coast of the Atlantic Ocean and carried him across Europe, Russia and Siberia all the way to the Pacific Ocean. If the trip wasn't enough of a challenging itself, this entire motorcycle adventure was done in the midst of winter. The total mileage of the journey was 13,000 ridden miles.
