Summary

“Well, now I’m committed,” he thought to himself after telling a national TV game show audience that he wanted to ride a motorcycle to Mongolia with his winnings. He felt the fear that commitment always induced in him; he was hoping they might have edited that bit out. Commitments are something he tried to get as far away from as possible, the only other constants in his life being twenty-five years of financial prudence, travel and motorcycle obsession.So there he was, committed to going very, very far on a motorcycle with his meager prize money. Consequently, he spent a winter on eBay and a spring in the garage preparing his $1000 KLR 650 for an uncertain life on the road. Armed with a cynical humor, a strong sense of direction, a vague sense of balance, and no sense of proportion, he embarked on a 15,000-mile solo motorcycle ride to see what would break first; bike, body, or budget. Leaving an indifferent existence in England behind he headed east, looking for purpose, a new life, and a new location to live it. He was in search of greener grass.

A view into what many people dream of doing

Really enjoyed the frank and brutally honest description of places and people encountered. As a time constrained tourer myself with a family to consider, i only get 2 week tours of Europes mountain ranges, but in another life what Graham is doing would be the dream

We all want greener grass.

Having just listened to Graham’s newest book, he mentions book review. It’s not really something I’ve done before but it seems fitting now. All the authors books are very well written, he takes you along with him and with him also narrating them it adds a big dose of authentic charm. Excellent books.

Funny, interesting and real

Loved the whole of this book, it’s so honest. It took me on his journey and all its amazement and frustration and humour and grumpy rants about the irritating people and bureaucracy he came across on the way!
