 man avoids responsibilities for four years November 26, 1998

How many times do you have to rebuild a Triumph before it will make it around the world? Read this book and find out. Ted Simon has a good time for about the first six months then seems to find something crappy about allmost every civilization he encounters. His journey ends with a retreat from India in a mad rush to get home. Only to find out he learned nothing at all exept that bloated corpses float.
I call this boob 'my Bible'. November 11, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book was given to me by a good friend when I was preparing for a big trip on a motorbike. This piece of work inspired me, made me contemplate to give up my job (which I did) and encouraged me to take off. It is not only well written, it is an inspiration for adventurers, provides insights, inspires, .... Everybody contemplating to become a traveller should read this book.

a DAMNED good read. I agree with the last reviewer totally. I was sick and confined to bed at the girlfirends house when I read this book and it was a blessing, a darned good read. So if you are ever in Australia, I'll cool a tinny for you too,,,,

As an ex biker who never got further than the Lake district as far as Bike rides go this book took me to the world. It inspired me to adventure and look beyond Britain and its limitations. I took a year off and travelled (not on a bike) but this book was the start of my life. Ted Simon is hero in my eyes, I now live in the USA and was unable to find a copy until I found this in amazons search engine. Ted....if you read this there will always be a cold beer for you in Nevada.
Hands down, the best motorcycle travel book I have ever read May 15, 1998
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Ted immersed himself in the cultures he encountered. I felt like I was meeting the people as he met them. His insights and observations are candid and revealing. Through every trial and tribulation I was feeling his discomfort and his victories. A good read for anybody interested in world travel and a "must read" for anybody interested in motorcycle travel.
