In November, 1959, Ronald N. Bowman quit his job as a reporter, sold his car and purchased a replacement Lambretta LD150. His plan: ride from his hometown Thorold in Ontario, Canada, to Peru. Though that alone would make a memorable tale of adventure, weeks before his departure, Bowman met a young Danish woman and fell gaga initially sight. fortnight into his voyage, he wrote her and proposed, asking her to fulfill him in national capital, marry him, and ride along as far because the scooter and their money would take them.
Adding to the intrigue, Bowman’s memoirs of the journey remained hidden until his death on November 4, 2004 (45 years to the day after departing on his ride). His son, Gordon, inherited the pages and after years of labor has pulled together a book.
The younger Bowman has started a Kickstarter campaign to assist fund the project. The photos alone — carefully restored for the book — promise to be well worth the cost of supporting the project.
