- Description: William Chadeayne was an American early long-distance motorcyclist from Buffalo, New York, and an officer of the Thomas Auto-Bi Company. Between 13 September and 30 October 1905, he rode a Thomas Auto-Bi motorcycle from New York City to San Francisco in 47.5 days, setting a new transcontinental record for North America and bettering the previous record of 51 days set by George A. Wyman in 1903. Describing the roads east of the Mississippi as "unspeakably vile — seas of mud or oceans of sand", he was forced to ride on railroad tracks for six or seven hundred miles due to the absence of passable roads; near Ogden, Utah, he was nearly killed by a train
