11,518 miles on a moped

This guy is a true original. In the summer of 1978, Walter Muma rode a 50cc moped across Canada and Alaska all the way north of the Arctic Circle to the "End of the Road," the town of Inuvik, Northwest Territories. Riding 100-300 miles per day for 97 days, he covered 11,518 miles and spent only $106 Canadian on gas (averaging 150mpg). He didn't spend much on lodging, either, as you can see on this page. Now that is a long ride!

This is what you look like after 11,518 and over three months on a moped
