The Longest journey on a Pocketbike (Minimoto) 2014
A man from Cunningham (Tennessee) set up a new world record on a pocketbike. Will Rodgers, tells us his story! A ride plan was developed. Including a path of low speed limit and as little commercial traffic as possible. Using a stock, Honda XR50 2002. The Natchez Trace Parkway was an obvious choice as no commercial traffic is allowed, the speed limit is mostly a maximum of 45 miles per hour so going slow would not be an issue. Since the Natchez Trace Parkway is not long enough to break the record on alone, we started in Clarksville, Tennessee and traveled mostly back roads until we got to the Natchez Trace Parkway.

The place where this cave painting has been found, discovered by archaeologist Adam Brumm and a team of scientists from Griffith University, is part of a limestone karst valley that had remained unexplored until 2017, although it is very close to Makassar, the largest and most populous city in the region. The warthog, painted with mineral pigments in red, replaced as the oldest work of art a hunting scene from 43,900 years ago, also discovered by Brumm and his team in 2019 in a neighboring cave on the same island.
