The First Motorcycle to cross the United States
George Wyman made the first transcontinental trip across the United States on any motor vehicle of any kind. He did so on a 1902 California Motorcycle that made roughly 1.5 horsepower. Through the desert and over mountains, pushing pulling and sometimes riding it, he made the 3800 mile trip in 50 days. This is the complete story. If you'd like to read it from his own perspective check out the 5 part article written in the Motorcycle Magazine in 1903: http://wymanmemorialproject.blogspot.... http://wymanmemorialproject.blogspot.... http://wymanmemorialproject.blogspot.... http://wymanmemorialproject.blogspot.... http://wymanmemorialproject.blogspot.... 📚Check out my Children's Motorcycle Book! https://rb.gy/bdh14b Subscribe for more Motorcycle content! ➔ https://tinyurl.com/ybuffutr 📷 INSTAGRAM ➔ / bart.cycle Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
