- We caught up with Elspeth Beard at her home in South West Surrey, England for a Generation Speed Pathfinders chat. Back in 1982, she soloed around the world on a motorbike and completed 35,000 miles in 2 years with just £2500. Her adventures haven't stopped since. Her stories? Fuel for every thrill-seeker out there!

Is it real festival? I never heard about 'Generation speed' festival. Or it is some kind of online-internet festival?
As an old timer and motorcyclist from about 1961, this was my first introduction to Elspeth Beard, needless to say I'm totally impressed. In my old age I haven't ridden for about 15 years, but have enjoyed following ItchyBoots and a few others as they roam the world on motorbikes. I can't help wondering if Elspeth and Noraly of ItchyBoots have ever met or communicated, two kindred spirits indeed...Thanks for posting.
We have to think about it: She is a young lady, she communicates by letter without thinking about RUclips shows, she has no sponsors, she reads about her adventures on tape, in black and white photographs, she just travels the world, she has to travel, she has to deal with the trams she goes through. Deserves praise beyond respect..👏👏👏👍
Total Respect. Huge 🫡 Salute to Elspeth Beard from India.
Elspeth’s book is a fascinating read, as obviously it goes into far more detail around her trip and the difficulties she faced along with how much she gained from making her journey.
One of the greats, up there with Ian Coats, Ted Simon etc etc, Travelling the world when it was just you and the Bike, a tougher better experience….. There are so many Travel influencers now, it’s not even interesting….. I like it old school
Huge respect to her ❤
Wow ! glad I found this , Read Elspeth book several years ago but its the first time I have seen her talking. She is clearly a beautiful articulate lady and your questions I am sure the best response from her. Ted Simon is considered to be the father of adventure touring so Elspeth must be the female version of him surely ! Its taken her years to come out and tell us her story but I am glad she has because she is now being given the recognition she rightly deserves.
Wow what a great lady, still beautiful....Inspirational for all the young woman out there.
Great interview, amazing lady, RESPECT. Her book is an amazing read.
Cannot imagine how brave she must have been to do this is in the 80's, all alone! This is just incredible
She is a legend
These stories are so inspiring!
in 1986 i went around, criss crossed Australia ONLY, on a kwack 650. I have huge respect for what Elspeth Beard took on and never tire of hearing of this undertaking.
Such determination. A will of iron. Legendary.
What an interesting story
Most excellent...really!
What a inspirational person ❤
Fantastic achievement and what a great story
I read a report in MOTORRAD at the time. I think it was in Turkey. But nothing more came after that. Until someone dug it up again a few years ago.
