In February of 1971, Ron Rutherford shipped out from New Zealand towards Punta Arenas, for the beginning of what would be a journey halfway around the world- which he would complete almost entirely from the seat of his 650 CC Triumph motorcycle.
Forthcoming is Rutherford 71, a book adapted from the diary kept by Rutherford throughout his amazing journey. You can read excerpts from this diary below, and explore a variety of ephemera from his trip, including photographs, maps, and drawings from his original handwritten travel journal.
