also the perfect vehicle by melissa holbrook peterson. about her love of motorcycling, guzzies in particular and the occassional man! a companion story for women, an eye opener for men.
then of course there is 'me, dad and the Plymouth to Dakar' my own book about me not quite killing my dad on the pdc!! it's available through my ebay shop at
eBay UK Shop - Captain Moggy's Surplus Store: The QM's Store -miscellaneous, QM's Store -military Trousers

The Bone man of Benares is by Terry Tarnoff, who did the hippy trail thing back in the '70s I think. Truly fabulous despite the lack of bikes. I'm halfway through "Mondo Enduro" and it's brilliant! Really don't-want-it-to-end-good.
I got it to pass the time while I recover from surgery and I'm almost scared to read it in case I split my stiches laughing!
I didn't think "Lois on the Loose" was available yet? Of to Amazon then, the excerpts in the AMH were hilarious.
