For an important perspective, let’s put three things straight into the conversation about The Tom Report. The first is that the author and his travel pal, Al, were 24 years old when they set off in search of adventure through the Americas. Second, this is a book about the modern era of international motorcycle travel. And third, they are incredibly social guys, and Tom is open and honest with his writing. This combination makes for some pushed-to-the-limits, smile-cracking tales.
The story kicks off as the boys approach their college years, deciding that university is not the direction to go, and that life with further education, a career, and all that’s involved can come later. Instead, they head for Alaska to work all hours possible in order to finance an RTW motorcycle adventure. Much respect to them for this. They are living proof that if you dream of travel, you can make it happen.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS
It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
