The Masked Rider

Neil Peart again. This time he's riding his bicycle across western Africa in the 80's. Lot's of bad water and hassles. Good book and quite discriptive, unlike my reviews. 

I think I'll stay in N. America.

Ghost Rider-Travels on the healing road

Neil Peart, drummer from RUSH ( a progressive rock band)  documents his time after losing his 19 y/o  Daughter in a car crash and his Wife a year later from cancer. He takes off on his motorcycle  for a time to try to figure things out. A good but depressing read. His world view is decidedly different than mine but i really enjoyed his writing style and his love of adventure.

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.
