Another book where Charley Boorman is riding his motor Bike. This time he is doing the hardest race in the world. The Dakar. It goes across Africa, countless kilometers ( whatever those are) and See's plenty of people drop out before the end. He trains, doe's some small races to prepare but what can you do in such a circumstance. Just ride i guess. Read it.

Riding Outside the lines


The 2nd book my Joe "The Metal Cowboy"Kurmaskie. More adventures brought on by riding his bike all over creation and then some. Once again Joe has made me start think about my own biking adventures and where to ride next. That's a good thing.  For more on Joe...  www.metalcowboy.com

Long Way Down


The 2nd Motorcycle  adventure book by Obi Wan and his good buddy Whining Charley. This time they start in Scotland and end up in Cape Town,South Africa . Quite a trip. I saw the DVD and it was really cool. Plenty of wild animal sightings and hanging out with the Natives. One cool part was when Ewan's Wife rode along for a week or so. She had a few off the bike experiences but handled it well.

A Bold,Fresh Piece of Humanity



Pretty much everyone know Bill O'reily, or knows of him. I listen to him occasionally and agree with most of his opinions , but he comes across as arrogant. The book is about his growing up years and was a good read. I may like him a bit more after reading this than i did 2 days ago. A lot of funny stories about him and his hooligan buddies tormenting the nun's at his school. I probably won't read his other books ( maybe his novel) but i enjoyed this.

The Metal Cowboy


I really liked this book because i'm always up for some kind of adventure. This includes a lot of short stories of Joe's adventures and the people he has met. So if your into bikes and adventure check it out.

Christ The Lord-Out of Egypt


Really good book. Interesting too. Anne has done a lot of research about what it would have been like while Jesus was growing up and it shows. Recommended reading for sure.

Two Wheels North


This was a great book about 2 young guys who in 1909 rode and pushed their bikes from Santa Rosa,Ca to Seattle Wa and the Worlds Fair. The Roads we're bad but the adventure was great. One of the cool things was that they rode through places i have been or go on a regular basis. Makes me want to go on another adventure.
