Meet Robert Echard, a regular at the Piston and Pints festivities, serious rider, PoppaWheelie on AdventureRider.com, and now on his way around the world on a motorcycle. He departed from London a few days ago and about 200 days from now will be riding back into town. At age 67 it’s a trip of a lifetime.
After three days of riding Robert arrived in Budapest, Hungary today and has a few days to hang out before heading east. You can follow his trip on AdventureRider on the thread Round the World the Easy Way.
He’s also using a SpotTracker to follow him around the globe.
The local online newspaper has a good story about the trip — Adventure of a Lifetime.
This past Thursday evening the Piston and Pints gang go together and Ken Hull suggested a group photo toasting Robert on his journey. From all of us, a safe, exceptional adventure!

Actually that was one week of riding to reach Budapest from London. I’m not that fast.
Poppawheelie: Didn’t expect to hear from you but I guess you still are in the wired world.
Guess I didn’t count the days right in Spot. Sorry!
Safe travels!
That’s some serious safety gear that Poppawheelie is sporting….
Charlie6: He was on his way to an off-road riding event. He’s more serious than the average rider…
Is Piston & Pints open to all, Steve? I don’t drink but I’d love to hang!

Jason, Ken Hull here. Yes, our gatherings go till the end of October. They are the 1st & 3rd Weds. of the month starting at 5pm. Several of our members don’t drink so I provide soda and water at each meetup. Our event is not about drinking, it’s about community. In fact, I’ve de-emphasizing the Pistons & Pints title in favor of the sub-title – Moto Hang.
So you are most welcome at Moto Hang any time! Please send me your email and I will add you to our mailing list. I’m at ken@kenhull.com
Ride On,
Ken
