Product Description
Simon rode a motorcycle around the world in the seventies, when such a thing was unheard of. 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.

This is rated too high. I read and establish it extremely bored, establish Mr. Simon too negative as biker and feel him an opportunist. On a couple of times establish my self trowing this book at the floor. I felt I waist my money

Kept waiting for the book to get better but ran out of pages before it did. I felt Simon left out too much and was just riding to place on miles. Would agree with an earlier reviewer that there was too much (fuzzy) philosophy. I also thought the material was too dated and could have been updated to some extent. I was disappointed probably because I expected much more judging by the additional reviews.

I did not read this book. It was a gift for my son who enjoys motorcycles.

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 excellent time for about the first six months then seems to find something crappy about allmost every civilization he encounters. His journey ends with a refuge from India in a mad rush to get home. Only to find out he learned nothing at all exept that bloated corpses float.

I give it four stars because of content, but as much as I like reading about motorcycle trips, this book was dull. It was an appealing tale, but I don’t reflect he (or his ghost writer) was a very excellent writer. Sorry Ted.
