Hi All,
I just wanted to let you know that my new adventure motorcycle travel book ‘Tortillas to Totems’ is being launched at the iconic Ace Cafe London on Saturday September the 18th. You are invited. Hope you can make it. We've a fun afternoon lined up.
‘Tortillas to Totems’ takes you across the magnificent landscapes of Mexico, the USA and Canada. Lands where it is just too easy to get sidetracked by the unexpected.
This is my fourth adventure motorcycle travel book. My first ‘Into Africa’ takes you from Cairo down to Cape Town. The tale is packed with wonderful happenings and far too many disasters, but that is travel on two wheels across the stunning continent that is Africa.
My second book, ‘Under Asian Skies’ kicks off in Australia and then takes you through the exotic lands of SE Asia, across Asia proper, through the Middle East and on through Eastern Europe. You’ll find me close to death a couple of times, involved with smugglers, getting a buzz from the madness that is traffic in India and much more.
My last book, ‘Distant Suns’ takes you through Southern Africa and then on up through the awesome landscapes of South and Central America. These really are lands where every day is an adventure, and this time I am riding with Birgit, who you’ll have met first in ‘Under Asian Skies’. You’ll find that Birgit is one of the pluckiest girls on two wheels!
‘Tortillas to Totems’ starts off in Mexico, which surely is one of the most awesome countries in the world. It has a fascinating and incredibly diverse history, stunning roads to ride and cops who are complete gits! The land is an exciting challenge to ride.
We then head on up into the USA, which I really wasn’t sure I wanted to visit. By this time I’d been on the road for nearly 7 years, and most of that time had been in second and third world countries. The though of heading up into the big, bold and brash USA was daunting. A reverse culture shock, or was it?
Canada held all the delights I’d imagined and much more. This really is a land to explore on two wheels. But the country also gave us a major disappointment. Never fear though, that disappointment was just the start of a whole new adventure.
The launch on Sept the 18th will kick off around midday. There will be live rock music, celebrities, a huge raffle for Motorcycle Outreach, adventure travel companies, dune buggies (yes you read that right!) and of course Books! We’d love to see you there. If you’ve never been to the Ace Cafe before, then perhaps use us as a good excuse. Make sure you arrive in time for one of the Ace Cafes world famous breakfasts! Leave space for it!!!
