This might not seem a particularly noteworthy fact until you discover that Clancy had been away from home for the better part of a year and during that time he had managed an 18,000-mile journey, circling the globe via motorcycle.

Happy birthday, Ferruccio Lamborghini, born on this date in 1916. The Italian industrialist famously began his automotive business after being insulted by Enzo Ferrari when Lamborghini complained about the crappy quality of Enzo’s cars.
