Join me while i recreate his epic journey as the first motorcyclist to cross America
In 1903, a little-known enthusiastic cyclist George Wyman declares he will ride his California 200cc 1 1/4 hp motor bicycle from San Francisco to New York City.
In 2023 I will replicate his route as close as possible and visit all the places he did to show you a then and now along the way, using historic images and ones I took hopefully in the same exact location where the great man stood.
I’ll be using the Wyman memorial project as my guide for the whole trip
Back in 1903, in my family, my great great uncle Jim had just bought his first car in Barrow in Furness, England
…but over here in the good ‘ole US of A, Harley Davidson hadn’t produced its first motorcycle yet
Ford hadn’t incorporated yet
The Wright Brothers were still seven months away from a short flight
Even the first Tour de France hadn’t happened
A car hadn’t even made it across the country either, but Horatio would leave just five days after George Wyman, with his mechanic Sewell and his dog Bud
Along the way, Horatio would possibly invent the first pair of ‘doggles’
Join me for a ride through history, across America
