Dr. Gregory W. Frazier

ADVENTURE MOTORCYCLIST: FRAZIER SHRUGGED, Motorcycle Adventurism, "The Good, The Bad and The Dirty Exposed!" Adventuring Motorcycling Defined! - Touring, Street and In-The-Dirt. Like his earliest motorcycle tour and travel book 25 years earlier MOTORCYCLE SEX (Revised Edition, June 2023), this new book again is turning "the motorcycle community upside down and sideways," according to Sound RIDER magazine.

Professional motorcycle adventurer Dr. Gregory W. Frazier is the only motorcyclist in the world to have six times circumnavigated the globe by motorcycle. He has been described as "America's #1 extreme motorcycle adventurer." No stranger to danger, his adventures around the earth include having been shot at by rebels, jailed by unfriendly authorities, bitten by snakes, run over by Pamplona bulls and smitten by a product of Adam's rib. In 2005 Frazier completed his fifth motorcycle ride around the earth, helping a Parkinson's patient (Donna-Ray Polk, RIP) as his pillion "ride her dream" to see the world from a motorcycle. 14 months and 30,000 miles later they were still friends

Frazier's two wheel adventures and travels have taken him over 1,000,000 miles and he has literally "ridden a motorcycle to the ends of the earth:" Deadhorse, Alaska; Ushuaia, Argentina; North Cape, Norway; Cape Agulhas, South Africa; and Bluff, New Zealand. He is featured in the 2008 edition of Ripley's Believe It or Not -The Remarkable Revealed. He continues today to actively pursue two wheel adventures at distant places on the planet as well as in North America.

Frazier's works as an author, motorcycle journalist, script consultant and professional photographer, his treatments appearing widely throughout the international motorcycling press. In the USA media he has been a regular Columnist/Editor-at-Large for motorcycle magazines such as MOTORCYCLE-USA.COM, ACCELERATE (RIDERS OF KAWASAKI), ROAD BIKE, and CITY BIKE (where he is the Chief of the World Adventure Affairs Desk). He contributes to MOTORCYCLE CONSUMER NEWS as a motorcycle adventure expert. He has also contributed to MOTORCYCLIST, BACKROADS, RoadRUNNER Motorcycle Tour and Travel and AMERICAN MOTORCYCLIST in the United States. Internationally his works have appeared in BMW BIKES (Japan), TOURENFAHRER (Germany), MOTORRAD (Germany) and MOTORCYCLE TRADER AND NEWS (New Zealand).

When not adventuring around the world, Frazier, a Crow Native American ("Sun Chaser"), lives quietly in the Big Horn Mountains of Montana on the Crow Indian Reservation. Frazier says of his adventures, "I hate adventure that has anything to do with snakes or sharks."

www.horizonsunlimited.com/gregfrazier finds him on the Internet and under "What's New" where he has been adventuring.

In 2013 Frazier began a second attempt to circumnavigate the globe for a sixth time, tagging and transiting across five of the seven continents over a several year period, enjoying extended pit stops along the way. His first attempt was halted on the shores of Java looking across the Indian Ocean at crossing India and then Europe, saying to himself, "This is foolishness." He said of his second attempt, "This time I will try something entirely different than the previous five and a half adventures."

In 2005 -2006 he made a fifth ride around the world, with a lady pillion who had Parkinsons and wanted to see the world from the back of a motorcycle before she passed away.
