Not just a biking book this is cleverly written, insightful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Good Vibrations: Coast to Coast by Harley (Summersdale travel) (Paperback)
Tom Cuncliffe was a new name to me but having read "Good vibrations" I am hoping he sticks to bikes. This well crafted book finds the balance of appealing to bikers whilst still providing an interesting insight into the people that Tom and Ros meet on the way. In short it is an excellent travel book in its own right and for those of the two wheeled brigade it has bikes too. You are rocked and rolled across the US in easy style. At a deeper level there is considerable insight into state of the nation and the way things have changed, not necessarily for the better. A ripping good read that appeals whether you ride or not.

Enjoyable Travel Yarn,
By Greynomad (Somerset, U.K.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Vibrations: Coast to Coast by Harley (Summersdale travel) (Paperback)
I am delighted to record that, having finished this book, I cannot understand why so much negative opinion has been posted about this book - it (almost) inhibited me from purchasing, thank goodness I ignored it as, I thoroughly enjoyed this Travel Yarn and, would recommend it to anyone with an ounce of adventure in their soul.
The Author was already an experienced 'Biker' who, had previously lived and worked in the U.S.A. so understood their culture, so did not commence this travel adventure, together with his wife, as novices (like most of us would) so perhaps, arguabley, they might have sensibly avoided some of the incidents that befell them but, then it would result in a boring story - which it is not! At such a modest cost, I can only suggest that you buy 'good vibrations' and, hopefully, enjoy it as much as I did.

A Real Road Trip,
By Gaffers Gallop (GB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Vibrations: Coast to Coast by Harley (Summersdale travel) (Paperback)
The world changes and often just for the sake of it. It's reassuring that Harley Davidson have allowed their product to mature rather than let it be revolutionised by a committee of consultants. And while suburban America may be the epitome of modern sanitized living, its good to read that off the beaten tracks Americans are still....well Americans. After all the `Wild West' is only just beyond living memory and between the coasts the great expanses have only just become witness to the hand of man as the following testifies:-
"Towering white clouds gathering for the afternoon storm painted their shadows over the land, while far away, tall grain silos glimmered like ghosts on the boundaries of perception. Lazy buzzards hovered, finger feathers at their wing ends eternally trimming their flight as they hung from up currents, seeking casualties from the wild side that men do not notice. At last the road was clear." And that's how Englishman Tom Cunliffe describes the day that he and Roz open up their Harleys for the first time on American back roads in "Good Vibrations". If further review is necessary then one should add that this is a real travel book and it reads as if much is left to chance, as it should be. Indeed this is a journey that any of us could make. The photographs have an amateurish quality and could have been pulled from the album of any of us. That's not a criticism its one of the books many merits. Thankfully Tom and Roz are not celebrity travellers with an itinerary thinly veiled as spontaneous. The people they meet are ordinary everyday Americans living lives beyond the gaze of the media looking glass. This is all real.
