Critics Review
The boys are back on their bikes and taking in the sights from the northern most tip of Scotland to the southern most tip of South Africa. - Australian Bookseller & Publisher
‘Both have a knack for vivid descriptions of the landscape and people, and the firstperson narrative ends up pulling you in because of the strength of their personalities. Yes, there are fart jokes and sexual innuendo. But they re blokes, travelling in a troupe, so it simply makes them seem more human.’ - Sun HeraldA boy’s own adventure and must-read for armchair travellers and bike enthusiasts - West AustralianOnce again, it is the book that is the most captivating. Here, the articulate actors expose themselves with honesty as they swap the narration and give different perspectives on the same events And again, it’s tough going on motorcycles and that is what makes their challenges and achievements so much greater. But the humour and emotional bond between the protagonists mean it is not just a book for bike nuts - Courier Mail This is a great read for those with dreams of hitting the open road and seeing the world, or armchair adventurers. Be warned; you might just develop an urge to get a bike and take off - Herald SunAbout The Author
