Tuesday evening Southwest Motorrad hosted author Rene Cormier for an open discussion of his travels aboard his BMW F650 GS.

Cormier recently published the University of Gravel Roads, a documented full colour book of his 4 1/2 year motorcycle journey throughout the world. Before a crowd of about 200 people, Cormier shared a tale of humanity, of awakening, of learning and even a love story as he met his wife of six weeks, half way through his journey. Cormier’s book can be found at Chapter’s or online at universityofgravelroads.com.
