By Peter Egan I’ve read some of Peter Egan’s writing before and decided this collection would provide a way to pass some time on another long haul journey to ride a far away place. Peter is a very talented writer. I wish I had a fraction of his skills. The […]

By Peter Jones The Bad Editor is a collection of previously published motorcycle magazine columns and a look behind the scenes at what motorcycle journalists used to get up to in the days before the internet when we still bought magazines and what was written in them was fairly influential. […]

By J. Peter “The Bear” Thoeming I have a number of motorcycle travel books in my Kindle about events that happened a long time ago and of those have only managed to finish reading two; Jupiters Travels and One Man Caravan. Books about overland travel made long ago can suffer […]

By Spencer James Conway I enjoyed Spencer’s first book. It followed his motorcycle travels around Africa including many dangerous hair raising adventures. However his second book promoted as being the story of his motorcycle journey around South America is not actually that, nor is it very good. At the end […]

Riding Towards Me by Jay Kannaiyan is a book I have been reading on and off for 6 months and finally finished on my flights down to Tasmania for my next motorcycle tour. It took awhile to get through not because it is uninteresting but because it is a lengthy […]

Book review This is another motorcycle travel story from Geoff Hill author of Way to Go. Previously he rides a Royal Enfield from India to Belfast and now a Triumph from Chile to Alaska with his friend Clifford. I struggled with it initially. The first 1/4 of the story is […]
