Default Great Read

I have read many motorcycle adventure books,including: Piet Boonstra's books, Melissa Pierson, and Ted Simon's books, etc. But I must say, Tim Watson's There & Back Again to See How Far It Is was by far the most entertaining of all. Watson is an Englishman who quits his job, and sets out to explore smalltown America. Though he is a novice rider, he buys a big-ass Harley and heads out. He had me laughing on every page with his droll English humor and self-depreciating style of writing.
If anyone wishes to read it, I will be glad to mail it to the first person who posts here. I will pay the postage if you will do the same for the next person.

budrowilson,
I would also be interested in reading the book when you are done with it. Of course, I will pass it along to anyone else who is interested as well. I've already done so with a book by Boonstra.

I love reading those kind of books! I've read the Ted Simon books, Long Way Round, Two Wheels Through Terror, 101 Road Tales, Leanings 1 and 2, and others. I'm going to check this one out.

Great armchair adventure and sometimes you actually pick up some good tips from them. They are especially fun during the winter months.

I sent a PM to person (on_the_edge) who posted first and plan to mail to him postage paid.

Enjoy..............
