His fathers motorcycling exploits on a BSA Bantam back in the 60s left a lasting impression, encouraging him to finally pass his bike test in 1999.The combination of wanderlust and a motorcycle licence proved a great temptation. Jonathan soon part-exchanged his Yamaha Fazer for a Tnr, and the trip was on. He left the UK on the Eurostar, riding east to Beijing before continuing through South East Asia, Australia and the Americas during a one-year sabbatical. This book details how to organise such a trip, and features a series of daily photographs capturing Jonathans own experiences on his amazing journey.Place of birth: Preston, LancashireHometown: Hemel HempsteadNearest city: LondonSPECIFICATION V4294Hardback25x25cm40224 pages692 colour picturesISBN: 978-1-845842-94-9UPC: 6-36847-04294-3RETAIL SALES Veloce books are stocked by (or can be ordered from) bookshops by quoting the correct ISBN number.
