Across Africa on a Vespa
Paul H Smith
Rice & Dirt

There has always been a tiny contingent of adventurous riders who choose the most unlikely motorbikes to take to the most unlikely locations. Case in point, imagine riding a vintage two-stroke Vespa through the entirety of Africa. And, better yet, completely ignoring the “correct” riding seasons along the route. If you’re just curious, or perhaps crazy enough to consider doing something similar, you’ll enjoy Rice & Dirt.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
