Title: Wan-dering man is at it again! Australia edition Post by: bulldogs2k on April 16, 2011, 07:03:02 PM For you that do not know, Wan (a korean national) bought a honda ruckus and traveled around America....literally.... In fact, a fellow DMF'r showed him around while in D.C. [thumbsup]
Well...the crazy Korean is back at it again, this time he's down under! This guy is my freaking idol, and if you do not know about him, google Wan ruckus and read his amazing story. Here's his blog: http://tattoontravel.blogspot.com/ (http://tattoontravel.blogspot.com/) There is even a picture of [bacon] Title: Re: Wan-dering man is at it again!

Sometimes it takes an outsider to make you realize how beautiful your country really is.

It looks so much yummier when it's cooked over open fire. Title: Re: Wan-dering man is at it again! Australia edition Post by: lowcountry on April 19, 2011, 01:17:56 PM I met Wan in Fayetteville NC when he finished up his circumnavigation of the US. He did 18,000+ miles in 9 months on his ruckus. He then sold raffle tickets for it, generating over $5,000, which he then donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. I had ridden my ruckus up from Charleston, which was quite a task. He's a great guy, and we all drank a ton of beers that night. I also had the pleasure of riding my ruckus with him and about 20 other guys at the time. Super fun time. I'm glad to see that he's at it again.

I looked at his blog lots of great photos but it would be good to know his where abouts Mmick Title: Re: Wan-dering man is at it again! Australia edition Post by: bulldogs2k on April 19, 2011, 07:16:46 PM I honestly don't know where he is at now. I'm sure totalruckus will have a better idea since he is a demi-god over there.

I was supposed to meet him in D.C., I live in Virginia Beach so I thought I would catch him on the blue ridge parkway at least. I know a member, though it may have been from the old forum, went out and showed him around. Wan is the man, I get exhausted riding my little dirtbike around for extended miles, don't know how he did it on a ruck. I hope to pick one up soon though, always wanted one [thumbsup] |
