Truly inspiring - By: , 26 Mar 2006 
Two men travelling across three continents that keeps the excitement & sense discovery to a fast pace throughout. Never feels like a diary or re-run of the itinery, just the story of the riders as they find out what's around the next corner - & there's a surprise or two believe me.
Often it reads like you're there by the road side, making a sugery cup of tea as camp is set up.
Buy it & feel good & challenged!
WOW! - By: J. Austin, 06 Jun 2005 This book is tremendously enjoyable & inspirational. I have read a fair few travel/adventure type auto biographies & with many of them after the initial excitement of beginning the trip the writing deteriorates into a boring descripition that just reads basically like an itinerary. Not so this one.
Plenty of humour, excellent descriptions, so good you actually feel you are right there along side the guys most of the time.
The only thing is wonder is 'where are the photographs?'. There are amusing drawings to break up the text but at least a few photos would have been nice. Maybe it was to do with printing/publication cost etc.
A must read for those feeling call of the unknown & toying with the idea of taking the road less travelled.
Buy it.
So good I cleaned off the bike... - By: Doug, 13 May 2005 This book is an easy holiday read. One of those "I gave up work to follow a dream books".
But through the quality of the writing, the book stays with you, & challenges you.
Whilst not a life changing read, it is definatly a life challenging one!
Thoroughly recommended.
Good book, great journey - makes you loathe your desk job! - By: , 02 Sep 2004 
I read this quickly & relished the sense of freedom it containedin its pages.
I think the story is remarkable: people who didn't just talk about turning their lives upside downin search of something more meaningful but actually DID IT. That's inspiring enough. But the things they see & the people they meet along the way are perhaps the real triumph of this narrative.
I guess it's one of those 'life's not a dress rehearsal' books. The sort of reminder we all need from time to time. Buy it, read it and, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but someday, you'll probably find it moved you to try something different, too.
A real adventure story - By: , 11 Nov 2003 One of those books that can send a shiver up your spine - you want to become a part of their adventure & travel & see the things they sawin Australia, Africa & South America. You can imagine the spectacular landscapes & while I was reading it I wished I was there. It's an honest book, it describes the squabbling, the disagreements, the far from perfect conditions, but despite all of that it conveys a sheer excitement of travelling & discovery. I defy anyone not to want to travel, or at least do something adventurous after reading this!
