T. E. Lawrence - Lawrence of Arabia Lawrence of Arabia was a famous person who actually did a lot of riding. He regularly rode 500 miles a day on his Brough (pronounced as "bruff") Superior SS100 motorcycle. His motorcycles were numbered George I to George VII, perhaps factory numbers or just as an honor to his friend, George Brough, who built the motorcycles. His last motorcycle, George VIII, was on order when Lawrence died on George VII. Lawrence gave the same personal name to each of his motorcycles: Boa, which was short for Boanerges which means Sons of Thunder. http://motorcycles.about.com/cs/findindiv/a/famousriders_2.htm Feb 15 07, 5:29 PM

And a Yay! for skysmom. But I've got reservations about the 500 miles a day bit... That's an average of about 31 mph allowing 8 hours off the road for sleep and food and other things you can't do on a motorbike (not comfortably, anyway). Before motorways? It's bad enough now keeping up a 31 mph average speed over a long journey. Feb 16 07, 4:45 AM
