Following the breakdown of her marriage, 50-year-old Jacqui Furneaux set off on a seven-year, round-the-world adventure on a 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet. She traveled both solo and with company, covering 42,000 miles and 20 countries. This awe-inspiring and moving book about one woman’s motorcycle adventures is for anyone still holding back from taking a risk and pursuing their dreams.

Between 1950 and 1952, Peggy Iris Thomas and her Airedale dog, Matelot, travelled 14,000 miles through Canada, United States and Mexico on a 125cc BSA Bantam. Perhaps when rounding a corner on some highway between Nova Scotia and Key West you have chanced upon this incredible trio: Oppy the indomitable motorcycle, its 125 pound frame swaying under three times its weight; Matelot, the automotive Airedale, perched on his box, ears flying in the breeze; and our gasoline gypsy herself, Peggy Iris Thomas, who has bumped her way over more than 14,000 miles of the United States, Mexico and Canada.
