Henry Crew (b. (1995-05-11) May 11, 1995(Adventure Rider Radio)(Fin Express)) is a British long-distance motorcyclist and the youngest motorcyclist to complete a world circumnavigation.

2018–2019 circumnavigation

He began an unsupported circumnavigation of the world in April 2018 on a Ducati Scrambler.

Crew decided to attempt to beat the previous record held by Kane Avellano(the Drive) the same day he read about it.(Adventure Rider Radio)(Cycle Online)

By August, he had reached Malaysia,(Bikes Republic)(Piston.my) and an Australian west-to-east crossing started from Perth in September.(Cycle Online)

As of March 21, 2019 he had completed most of the journey and was in Los Angeles to make the final leg, crossing North America west to east.(The Drive)

When he finished the trip in London at age 23 in April 2019, he became the youngest person to achieve the feat.(Corriere dello Sport)(ITV)

The year-long, 35,000 mile trip cost Crew $25,000, which is less than he would have spent to keep a home in London.(WGNO)
