Storm
: A Motorcycle Journey of Love, Endurance and Transformation
A Motorcycle Journey Around the Baltic Sea
by Allen Noren
Allen and Suzanne were seasoned travelers, and when Russia's Baltic
states opened up for visitors in 1993, they eagerly embarked on a trip
there. What they couldn't foresee were the record-breaking storms, desolate
landscapes, and most significant, the cracks in their relationship that
the trip would expose. Part love story, part edgy travelogue, and at times
darkly humorous, Storm shows the fragility of human connections in the
face of unexpected forces.

Travels: Four Years Around the World on a Motorcycle
by Ted Simon
This book has a long publishing history and has sold more than 300,000
copies in many languages. Although it was unavailable for a while, there
was always strong demand, so I resolved to publish it myself. This American
edition was published in 1996 (not 1997, as stated above) and is available
NOW. Although the journey was made by motorcycle, it is anything but a
book about bikes. It tells of the insights and vicissitudes experienced
by a person attempting to encompass the world in which he lives. There
are many pictures and maps. You can read samples at my web
site. The Author

Motorcycle Diaries : A Journey Around South America

Chasing
Che : A Motorcycle Journey in Search of the Guevara Legend
by Patrick Symmes
A motorcycle trip in 1952 marked a turning point for Ernesto Guevara
Lynch de la Serna, a medical student returning from a journey into poverty
and oppression with a vision of guerilla-style change and a new name, Che
Guevara. Going on to help overthrow the Cuban government, align himself
with Castro, and become elevated to martyred hero status when he was executed
in Bolivia in 1967, Guevara's likeness is now commercialized and captured
on T-shirts, castanets, and watches.
New York writer Patrick Symmes embarks on a motorcycle tracing Guevara's
route through Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Cuba, seeking insight
into what Guevara experienced and what his political movement wrought.
Meeting with those who knew the young Che--among them a lover, a leper,
and his motorcycle traveling cohort--proves interesting enough, though
rarely insightful since some were children at the time, some are confused,
and others refuse to talk openly. More revealing are Symmes's travels on
his bike, nicknamed La Cucaracha. He winds through both Buenos Aires' high
society and Peruvian poverty, finding a fragmented country where revolutions
have brought mountain peasants fleeing to shanty towns, and where blind
idealism coexists with blatant denouncement of the violent tactics used
by Cuban Communists, even by Che's most respected soldiers. Beautifully
written, the stories that unfold here reflect the complex contradiction
that endures in Latin America three long decades after Ernesto "Che" Guevara's
death. --Melissa Rossi - Amazon.com

of them, with easy to read maps, complete directions, road conditions and
more, all liberally sprinkled with his own special brand of humor and practical

Long Journey Home
by Robert Fulton Jr.
In 1932, Robert Fulton Jr. -- inventor, sculptor, architect, writer,
film maker, pilot and explorer -- undertook and filmed an 18 month motorcycle
voyage around the world. Descendant of the inventor of the steam ship,
Fulton has travel and intrepid adventure in his blood, and has only recently
been acknowledged for his many creative endeavors, including his work in
photography and film. In 1932, following a year of architectural studies
in Vienna, young Fulton set off on a modified Douglas twin-cylinder
motorcycle to film the architectural wonders of the world, but soon came
to realize that he was interested in filming people as well as places.
Fulton credits this journey with shaping his life, his attitudes, his curiosity,
his respect for other cultures and for nature, his understanding of solitude
and interconnectedness. The Long Journey Home chronicles the 18
month voyage from London, through Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia,
with stills from the original 35mm nitrate film Fulton shot along the way.
His beautifully composed images express the wonder of a young man realizing
the world for the first time, and reveal all the attendant felicity and
tribulation he experienced. Amazon.com
