Arlene Liska has passed away

Arlene Liska has passed away at age 97. She and her husband, Danny Liska, are known from the book "Two Wheels to Adventure" documenting a ride from Alaska to Argentina starting in the late 1950's and ending in the 1960's. This book may be where they came up with calling all these bike models today "Adventure Bikes". They also rode around the world, all on a BMW. Danny was a great rider and Arlene was a great enabler, making it possible for those trips to occur. Even in her later years she was full of spunk and was eager to be involved in any effort, especially those involving motorcycles. Her funeral service is tomorrow in Niobrara, NE. She had a special relationship with Team Strange headquartered in Minnesota and many of the long distance riders entering their events. Rider meetings in Heaven just got a lot more interesting.

That there was so 20th century; things simply were not as complicated as they are in 2024. People got along, all around the globe. Blessings to the many adventures & accomplishments of Mr & Mrs Liska not all that too far back in the rear view mirror. RIP world travelers... :brow
