Description
A hapless biker’s search for adventure.
Critically acclaimed author Kevin Turner (Bonjour! Is This Italy? A
Hapless Biker’s Guide to Europe) heads off on another ill-thought out
adventure, aiming his heavily laden Kawasaki north towards the towering
waterfalls of Norway, before heading east on a long and treacherous
journey to Moscow. This fascinating adventure - part sprint, part
marathon - charts the perils, pitfalls and thrills of a 6000 mile solo
motorcycle journey across Europe, Scandinavia and into Asia. The
author's observations and anecdotes transform this motorcycle guidebook
into a laugh-a-minute page turner, which inspires and entertains in
equal measure.
Synopsis
In typically hapless fashion, Turner jumps on his
motorbike and sets out in search of adventure. Heading north, he aims
his heavily laden Kawasaki towards the massive Øresund bridge, and
passes from Copenhagen into Sweden, then onto the majestic waterfalls of
Norway. Turner then determines to visit St. Petersburg, a mere 1700km
east, before heading back home to London, via most of Poland and a good
deal of Germany.
