Pete Tamblyn
Pete Tamblyn’s first motorcycle touring experience
came about in the Peace Corps during the 1960s. While
with the Peace Corps in Malawi, East Africa, he and
four other volunteers sampled the roads of Rhodesia
and South Africa, returning along the rugged Mozambique
coast. Many of the roads were poor or unpaved, and his
TR-5 Triumph Trophy was the best tool available then
for the job. Pete has ridden all but the northwestern
part of the United States, and been as far south as
the Panama Canal in Central America. European travels
have included Germany, Holland, Denmark, and southern
Norway. In Canada, Pete has been to the eastern tip
of the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec, and as far west as the
Icefield Parkway, Alberta.

Pete has designed and led tours for Pancho Villa Moto
Tours and Nordic Bike Adventures. Two of his more challenging
tour experiences involved showing his favorite part
of the World-Appalachia-to one group from New Zealand
and another from Norway. Pete’s love of twin-cylinder
adventure bikes continues to this day and he rides one
of his Honda Transalps when there are roads to be explored.
