James Wilson (motorcyclist)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
James C. Wilson (October 8, 1900 – January 31, 1995)[1][2] was a long-distance motorcyclist and author of the autobiography Three-Wheeling Through Africa.[3] His five-month 1927 journey from Nigeria to Eritrea on a Triumph sidecar with Francis Flood may have been the first motorized crossing of Africa by motorcycle.[4]
After a United States tour in the late 1930s promoting his travels and book, Wilson resided in Polk, Nebraska where he was a corn farmer.[1]
Photographs he published in National Geographic were used in a 21st century MIT anthropology course.[5]
