The very talented and very gracious Mr. Walker is proprietor of the excellent Motogeek.com. He has provided some fantastic links to what is a small morsel of his outstanding portfolio. If you have any taste for Adventure riding, KTM motorcycles or spectacular photography, do yourself a favor and pay him a visit. You won’t be sorry.
Thank You Sir!
