Michael Jacobs’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

A motorcycle journalist who had his first two-wheeled experience at the tender age of 16, whereupon he launched a 1982 CB400 into a living room window (not his own.)

For the past five years, Mike has made it his mission to ride every paved (and some unpaved) surface in his home province of Ontario, Canada and routinely puts on over 20,000km each riding season.

Mike is looking for reasons (and opportunities) to ride anywhere else.

Dopo trent’anni di conferenze, le emissioni di gas serra continuano ad aumentare e secondo molti il sistema è inadeguato ad affrontare il problema. Ma queste critiche non colgono il punto.
