Glen Heggstad (born 24 May 1952) is an author and adventure motorcycle rider from Palm Springs, California. Biography Heggstad was a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club. Heggstad left California on October 1, 2001, riding a Kawasaki KLR650, planning to ride to the tip of South America. He was kidnapped riding through Colombia by National Liberation Army (ELN) rebels on November 6, 2001. He was released on December 8, 2001 and refused a ticket home, arranging for a new motorcycle instead. His ordeal was documented in an episode of the National Geographic Channel series Locked Up Abroad. Sticking to his original plan, he continued his ride to Patagonia and back home to California. He has since written a book about his experience titled Two Wheels Through Terror. |
