Since his voyage many people have sailed, flown, driven, or railed around the world. But not many have done it on motorcycles. "As far as I can find, it's only been done twice." says Burt Whicker, UNC senior, "once by a Honda factory man and once by a Triumph factory' man." Burt, from Walkertown near Winston-Salem, and Don Keith, a senior from HendersonvilJe, are going to make the third attempt next year. Steve Swain, a UNC graduate from Miami, may accompany them. Why are they doing it? "Well all be through with school," says Burt, "and want to do something before we go to work and get tied down." All are experienced motorcycle men and feel they can get a "clearer feeling for the climate, geography, and people of each country" by biking. The travelers will ride Triumph TR6R road machines with 650cc engines. They will buy the bikes at the factory in London in June. Each machine will cost $847 stock. But that's just the beginning. Money is the biggest worry. "It will take about $1000-$ 1200 to get the bikes ready," says Burt. Saddle bags, fiberglass fairings with windshields, spare parts, and special pistons must be purchased. Burt figures that each rider will leave the United States with $3000. "We're all going to sell every earthly possession we have." With the bikes being their biggest expense, the travelers hope to support themselves on the road by selling articles enAPis; mil Tim 503 W. Franklin St. Chapel H HI. t C.

"They could turn out to be our greatest supporters if we can interest them." he says. The Geographic may supply film and camera equipment in addition to publishing works. After picking up the bikes in London, the riders will tour Great Britain primarily to break in the bikes. If any troubles develop they can go to the factory for repairs before heading for the Continent. Once on the European mainland, the group will tour northern Europe till the weather drives them south. After a short layover in Italy, the riders will continue to Greece. There they will fit special 7:1 compression ration pistons in their engines. The stock 9:1 pistons are line for Europe but the inferior gas elsewhere calls for the lower ratio. Turkey comes next, where they will hop a ship for Egypt and northern Africa. Continuing down the Atlantic coast of the Dark Continent, the travelers will stop in Nigeria to visit friends. They will swing down through South Africa and back up the east coast through Kenya and across Saudi Arabia and Mecca.
