Opis

"We were learning why so many people never go on their dream trip. Without a set departure date "some day" is so nebulous that despite believing it to be true it never materializes into something real." Patrick & Sherrie met while Patrick was on his first world trip in 2004 with Emma, a BMW R 100 GS Paris-Dakar. Since then they have traveled through Europe, Iceland, Russia, Mongolia and South East Asia together. They quickly learned it is less the skill of the rider that makes the difference, but the ability to plan. This is the volume of their collected stories, arranged by publication date. Included in this volume: Iceland: A Stormy motorcycle Journey. Active volcanoes, glaciers, rivers without bridges and killer sheep - Iceland offers the kind of riding that motorcycle adventure dreams are made of.Riding their two BMW F 650 GS (Betty and Wilma) they fell in love with the island and its stunning scenery. Surviving hospitalization, sand, sunk bikes and perhaps most frightening of all, lack of good affordable food, Iceland stole a piece of both their hearts. Fernweh: A transcontinental Motorcycle Adventure. A 14-month motorcycle adventure through Europe, Russia, Asia and South America. Take a seat in a Russian banya, a Mongolian Ger, or a campfire in the deserted pampas. Ride with the author through icy deserts, over dizzying mountain passes, through swamps and endless forests. Experience the driest desert as well as the deepest lake in the world. And more important than the places, meet the people that make a motorcycle trip the most memorable adventure of a lifetime. Mango: A Thai Rescue Dog Travels The World. Most people bring back a souvenir or two. Patrick & Sherrie brought back a dog. While on the South East Asia portion of their world trip Patrick and Sherrie saw all kinds of creatures being carted around on little motorcycles. When they met Mango on the island of Koh Tao they decided to follow suit and took him along for the ride. Keep the Shiny Side Up: A Motorcycle Adventure From Germany To Turkey & Back Again. Sherrie's first trip riding solo, Keep The Shiny Side Up is an intimate account of why someone with a week old motorcycle license would jump on their bike and ride away. (Hint: It helps if staying means your homeless.) And as Sherrie was to find out, self-awareness is where the real zen of motorcycle travel occurs.
