GlobeRiders Eurasian Odyssey DVD
January 4, 2010
Globe Riders
VICARIOUS RIDE. Many of us want to see exotic places from the seat of a motorcycle, but such adventures are expensive, time-consuming and often dangerous. For an investment of only $24.95 and 90 minutes of your time, the only risk you’re likely to incur watching the GlobeRiders Eurasian Odyssey DVD is a sore arm from 12-ounce curls. Moto-adventurer Helge Pedersen and 11 others traveled 11,000 miles, from Shanghai, China, to Munich, Germany. Pour yourself a tall glass of something tasty, settle into your favorite seat and enjoy the(ir) ride!
