In four years he covered 78,000 miles through 45 countries, living with peasants and presidents, in prisons and palaces, through wars and revolutions. What distinguishes this book is that Simon was already an accomplished writer. In 25 years this book has changed many lives, and inspired many to travel, including Ewan McGregor.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A compelling narrative that moves, sometimes at breakneck speed, over some of the world's most beautiful and mysterious terrain ? packed with fascinating detail, splendid characterizations, and hair-raising adventures.--Boston Globe<br><br>By all means TAKE THE PLUNGE.--Rider Magazine<br><br>Extremely readable, full of keen observation, perceptive insight ? conveying action, drama, tension and danger.--LA Times<br><br>The best motorcycle travel book ever written.--Motorcycle Sport<br><br>Vivid description of driving under conditions that were often ferocious.--NY Times<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born 1931 and raised in London he emerged from World War II with a desperate urge to travel.
