Bell Ernest, Wells Valerie (w3419)
Hits: 36
- Description: In 1953, Bell answered an advertisement for adventurers to join two Australian riders heading home overland from Britain to Australia. Having completed the overland leg to Australia, Bell and Wells then rode back to the UK via the USA on a 1952 Norton Dominator 500 cc, completing the round-the-world journey between 1953 and 1955. Together they covered 26,000 miles (41,840 km) on the trip, in addition to the 20,000 miles (32,180 km) the motorcycle had already accumulated before departure. Apart from punctures and a spark plug change, the Norton required no significant maintenance throughout. The journey is recounted in The Hard Way Round, based on Bell's travel diaries, which were not originally intended for publication
