I read this on a site completely unrelated to biking at all, and was quite surprised to see the Advrider link. Take a look at the map, then read about it. Absolutely amazing.

wow that link did tell an amaizing story good on her a true biker!!!!!
Deep in the heart...
OMG, what a bloody legend! 5 years on the road on a 250, $10 a day for food and lodging.
Killed her first bike in 3 years, brand new to unrebuildable!
That is one tough determined lady!
According to the map though she didn't do NZ, what a shame.

There's some amazing photos in there. Some interesting ones of the bike, too -- there's one of her rims towards the end, scary stuff.
One can only dream.
Little ol'Hornet Rides again!
She is a legend. Truly inspiring that is - sounds like she could pootle my arse off! Now that's something that is truly "the long way around" ... I'll definitely keep checking back on her progress hopefully!
Big ups to Xerxes for finding this little nugget of pure biking gold.
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"
The TV collector.
Phew....thats commitment! best of luck to her on the rest of her journey, pity she did'nt come to NZ though.
Wherever I may roam
Jeez shes doin good. Just going through that link looking at the pics of places shes been, I got some big respect for her.
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
Still Ridin'
Remarkable.
Of course, since she's not riding a ginormous BMW with a full film and support crew in attendance, she's "not doing it right"...
$10 a day is pretty damned impressive, too. Really needs to be someone really rich with a few million sitting in the bank and a name that bankers would happily float a hefty loan to...
Motorbike Camping for the win!
One hell of a ride.
*Yawn* - It's just riding a motorcycle - like, anyone can do it.

Great lady, very inspiring!
Wasn't it sad though, that the Americans basically overwhelmed her with emails and support, so much so that she had to remove her email and go under the radar somewhat.
Everywhere she went, bikers were trying to organise rides to go and meet her and escort her or hold huge potluck dinners. Which would have been nice for the first time, but pretty grating after that . . . sounds like it was turning in to a royal tour.
Well meaning, but over enthusiastic.
Illuc ivi, illud feci.
Buggrim, Buggrit.
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Check out this woman, who even made it to New Zealand, during her travels around the world on her BMW.
