Airhead 247 Podcast: Marcus Best

Our guest this week is Marcus Best who completed a RTW trip on his 1981 G/S in two parts โ€“first South America in 2007 then finishing the remainder of the trip in 2008 and 2009. Weโ€™ll discuss why he chose an airhead, his pre-trip prep, on the road repairs (of which there were many) and making the adjustment to daily life after a RTW journey.

Marcus has a number of archived posts about his bike on ADV under the name โ€œroadsacallinโ€ and his old blog siteโ€”remember thoseโ€”that is still up — marcusbestrtw.wordpress.com.
