C'mon, you guys know who's Tiger this is. One of the best looking 'broken-in' bikes I've ever seen. Love those tank bags!

The answer was in the image properties...

Didn't think about checking the properties (sneaky neat!). Only a coincidence his name came to mind, since I had just recently pulled Ted's book off the shelf , and was doing a re-read.



I met Ted at Mid Ohio nearly 13 years ago at his kiosk where he was selling and signing copies of "Jupiter's Travels". There's a newer book (he documented another round the world trip later in life ... this time I believe he rode an airhead G/S or GS.

I'm reading the second book now, "Dreaming of Jupiter". Interesting how the world has changed for him. And yeah he rides a GS but he originally went to Triumph. They offered him a bike to ride but nothing else and didn't really seem to care about what he was attempting, whereas a fan of his offered him a totally rigged up GS with support of a shop to send him gear and supplies. So it was somewhat of a no-brainer.

And yes I realized the image properties could give it away, but then that's cheating and you wouldn't have qualified for the $10,000 I sent to OhioRider for answering correctly!
