Tim Mayhew is an American businessperson well known for creating the pashnit.com website for motorcycle touring enthusiasts. [2] The website, which started as a hobby in 1999 after Mayhew left U.S. Marine Corps active duty, [3] [4] catalogs over 250 roads, [1] and had 75,000 to 100,000 page views per month at one point from motorcyclists, bicyclists and auto enthusiasts. [1] [3] Mayhew estimates he has ridden 350,000 miles (560,000 km) and taken over 100,000 photographs documenting California roads. [5]
In 2004, after a Cycle World article about Mayhew and his website the previous year, [1] he launched a motorcycle tour business in California. [3] [4] [6] Mayhew has also appeared in print as an authority on the Suzuki Hayabusa, which he has used extensively as a tour guide. [7]
