I'd been itching to ride a Harley-Davidson across America for years. Now it was the High Plains or bust. Inconveniently, my wife Roz had never even sat on a bike. I didn't fancy a passenger for 12,000 miles, so Roz borrowed an ancient 100cc Suzuki and made it to the Driving Test centre. The following morning we flew to Baltimore and she bought a yellow 883 'Sportster', all leather tassels, sexy buckhorn bars and straight-through pipes. It met my Soft-tail off the ship from Southampton and we were away. The ride of a lifetime was soon transformed into a pilgrimage in search of the American people who the Harleys dragged from under stones, off mountainsides, out of the swamps and the prairie dust. The scenery was phenomenal, but it is the folks I'll remember - and riding Death Valley with an engine air-cooled by wind 35 degrees hotter than my blood.

A very enjoyable and informative read. I'm sure it'll appeal to armchair travellers and seasoned tourers alike. It certainly got the me thinking about my next trip.
Format:Paperback
Sailor Tom Cunliffe and his wife Roz cross America on Harley Davidsons, meeting people and having small adventures along the way. What makes this book sing is the thoughtful nature of Cunliffe's narration, and his good assessment of the people they meet along the way. This is one of the most enjoyable, easy, intelligent travel books I've read in the last few years.
