- Description: Paul Pelland is an American long-distance motorcyclist and MS patient advocate. In 2005 he was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. Rather than stop riding, he launched the "Endless Road Tour" with the goal of documenting one million miles by motorcycle while raising awareness and funds for MS research. As of late 2021 he had covered over 470,000 miles, spoken at over 250 events across the United States and raised nearly $250,000 for MS charities. He holds four world records: 1,000 miles in 24 hours on 100 different motorcycles (2012); first rider to document 28 hours in a single calendar day (2016); 24 hours non-stop on an indoor dynamometer (2018); and coast-to-coast in under 50 hours on a chopper (2021). His first Yamaha Super Tenere, retired at 172,000 miles, is on display at Barber Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama
