Before moving to CA, I lived in NH and did many presentations - Check out the history: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=660224

Dang. Can't make Cupertino, but please keep us informed of any future dates.

Will definitely keep an eye out for when you're in the LA-San Bernardino county area.

I might just have something lined up in July/August. I'll keep this thread updated. Thanks!

I'll try to make it if you come to so cal.

Cool pictures, Ben! I am sorry I can't make the presentation.

Do you ever speak at Cycle Specialties in Modesto? I know they have presentations like that sometimes, as well as group adv rides.

is there a so cal presentation?

There is something shaping up for the first weekend in August in Los Angeles. It's not quite firmed up just yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Hey guys,

I'll be giving a talk at on August 23 at the Carson Valley / Lake Tahoe Adventure Motorcycle Ride & Rendezvous. It's going to be a spin on my normal travel presentation. This event does cost money but is part of the much larger weekend festivities. Here's a snippet from the event organizers:

Time change: I'll be presenting at the Carson Valley / Lake Tahoe Moto on Saturday August 24 at 4pm. It won't be my standard "ride-report-style" presentation and instead I'll be sharing stories of all the mistakes I made a long the way in a presentation titled "I wish I'd known that!" It's great preparation if you're planning a big trip. I promise lots of Laughs, a bunch of Wows, a few Oh My Gods and at least one This Is So Damn Embarrassing, I Can't Believe He's Telling This Story In Public...

Hope to see you there!

Man you gotta come to SoCal.

Try Claremont library

Perhaps Irv Seaver BMW

Or at a push our back yard.

Hey TUCKERS. I'd love to come down and present, if you have any connections there, send them my way. There's a contact form on my blog at http://www.AFewMoreMiles.com

I don't really have any influence in connections.

I guess you would just canvass motorcycle stores. BMW dealerships seem to be up for stuff.

I don't know what avenue to pursue at the library, I'll go ask.

Hey guys,

Just added a new event. This is going to be a BIG weekend with awesome presentations from amazing riders all around the world. Hope to see you there.

October 25-26, 2013 - Cambria, CA at the Horizons Unlimited Event (Note, this is not a free event)

Pencilled in for Cambria.

See you there

I forgot to mention, I'm actually giving three different presentations:

1. I Wish I'd Known That! Advice for Motorcycling the Americas
2. Basic Spanish for Overlanding the Americas
3. 2up Touring through Western Europe

Hey folks,

I'll be at the Horizons Unlimited meet up at the Mariposa Fair Grounds near Yosemite, California in a few weeks. I'll be giving several presentations. Hope to see you there - September 26-28, 2014!
