In January 2006, 230 people raced in trucks, cars, and motorbikes from Lisbon to Dakar in the 28th annual Dakar rally, the most challenging race in existence.

Supported by Australian champion biker Simon Pavey and experienced British biker Matt Hall, Charley attempted what many professional bikers have failed to do: successfully compete in the Dakar rally. His account details his extraordinary adventures as well as those of his fel

The History of Smith & Wesson Firearms provides a fascinating illustrated history of one of the most legendary names in all gun lore. Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson were New Englanders who challenged the domination of Samuel Colt’s patented revolver. The Smith & Wesson Model 1 revolver, using a rimfire cartridge, went into production in 1856 and was followed in 1862 by the Model 2, which was mass-produced during the Civil War. In 1867, Smith & Wesson began a global sales campaign that brought the company new markets, particularly in Russia, and established the compa

In the remote parts of America’s Western territories during much of the 1800s, law and order was overextended or even nonexistent.

It is certainly true today that firearms are associated with the Old West more than with any other era of American history. That Old Wes

It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor -- acclaimed actor and self-confessed bike nut -- noticed that it was possible to ride all the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn’t get out of his head. So he picked up the phone and called his fellow actor-slash-biker friend Charley Boorman and told him it was time to hit the road.... Long Way Round Beginning in London, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazak
