Publisher's Summary

Old or unsuitable motorbikes, distant places, poor weather, and gravel roads, these are the common threads in Nick’s motorcycle travels. He’d been hoping to ride out west a couple of years ago until a little heart trouble intervened. Two years later, a short "shake-down" trip morphed into a 9000 mile journey across the continent. Trouble free? Not exactly. Riding a 1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado, a Suzuki Burgman Scooter, and a 1976 Moto Guzzi Convert (automatic), and ever optimistic, Nick heads for the Canada’s distant horizons, encountering friendly, generous people, wildlife, bike troubles, and inclement weather along the way.

Moto Guzzi gold. Motorcycle dreams.

Risky solo travel on remote roads. If you breakdown what can you do? Clear your head with a ride in the deep, northlands. I drive a lot for work. I like to ride also. I’ve listened to this book twice already. Understated first hand narration without hyperbole.
