Show Notes
After putting almost a million miles on a motorbike as a courier in London, Geoff Thomas decided to pack it in, and in April, 2008, embarked on a motorcycle to travel the world. He took along with him the ashes of his parents to be delivered to his brother in California, while en route. On his return to England in November, 2008, he found that his rented apartment in Essex had burnt down, with all his belongings in it. Left only with his motorcycle and what was packed on it, he just decided to just keep on riding. To save on shipping costs, Geoff keeps a Triumph Tiger 955i in Europe, a Kawasaki KLR 650 in North America and a Tiger Retro 100 in South East Asia, where he also volunteers. Having, what Geoff says is a chronic allergy to most forms of work, he gets by on just $8000 US a year, and says he’s never felt richer.

BestRest CyclePump & EZAir Gauge
David Peterson at BestRest Products has been manufacturing the CyclePump for over 10 years and states “there is no better motorcycle tire inflator available anywhere, at any price”. He’s so sure of that, that he gives a lifetime warranty on the pump. We decided to put the CyclePump and EZAir Gauge to the test for ourselves.
