My Adventure

Rapid Pace

The logistics and execution of his global ride relied on a few key factors: Rapid Pace and Scale Saunders maintained an incredibly demanding itinerary to finish the trip in three months. (90 Days) His journey consisted of: * 5 Continents traversed. * 17 Countries visited. * 32,000 Miles covered overall.

Stick to Paved Roads

Unlike typical global motorcycle expeditions that use dual-sport adventure bikes to cross dirt roads and rivers, Saunders took a distinct approach by keeping his route entirely on metalled (paved) roads. This choice was essential, as the heavy, low-slung Honda Blackbird is a dedicated hyper-sport touring bike built for high-speed tarmac riding rather than off-road trails..
