- Description: Paul Pratt was a British long-distance motorcyclist. Between 1966 and 1979, over twelve and a half years, he travelled through 48 countries across five continents on a 650 cc Triumph Thunderbird, covering 185,000 km (115,000 miles) - a world record for continuous motorcycle travel at the time. During the journey he was shot and contracted various tropical diseases. He self-published his account in 1976 as World Understanding on Two Wheels: An Introduction to Overland Travel, investing his own money to print and distribute the book. He was still riding his Triumph Thunderbird shortly before his death in 2010, aged 84
