Against the Wind: A Rider's Account of the Incredible Iron Butt Rally
$16.00
List Price:$19.95
by Ron Ayres
This riveting book, written by best-selling author and motorcycle endurance competitor Ron Ayres, tells the story of what many call the most grueling test of human endurance in all of motorcycling. With guts and sheer willpower, riders must overcome fatigue and danger, calling upon reserves deep within themselves.
The Iron Butt Rally has become a legendary challenge for motorcyclists who crave more time in the saddle. Imagine ten consecutive thousand-mile days on a motorcycle in a mental race against unknown obstacles, a route that can change at a moment’s notice, and a ruthlessly ticking clock, and you’ve imagined the pinnacle of long-distance motorcycling.
Ayres reveals the innermost thoughts of the contestants and shares the anticipation, thrill, fatigue, heartbreak, and euphoria of completing this merciless trial. He includes not just his own experiences, but the fascinating experiences of the other contestants. Motorcycle journalist Bob Higdon states in his foreword to the book, “Here, told from the point of view of a participant, the unraveling of human souls proceeds in almost embarrassing clarity.”
Ayres also describes the elegant strategy necessary to be a contender. You’ll discover what motivates the riders, how the rally is scored, what takes place each day, how the routes are planned, and what it’s like to ride to the very limit of endurance—and then wake up and do it all over again.

Obsessions Die Hard
$17.00
List Price:$19.95
by Ed Culberson
An epic tale of one man’s struggle against nature and those who would stop him from living his dream, this book illustrates the triumph of human endurance and perseverance in the face of staggering obstacles—of achieving one’s towering obsession.
Ed Culberson’s obsession was to ride his motorcycle along the entire route of the Pan American Highway from Alaska to Argentina. But there was one small problem: in eastern Panama and western Colombia’s Darien region the road simply stops.
What interrupts the roadway is 80 miles of jungle, rain forest, rivers, and swamps. The area is deemed so inhospitable and unexplored that a myth and a curse about it has evolved. But for a man with an obsession, this was just the beginning of his difficulties.

One Man Caravan
$20.00
List Price:$24.95
by Robert E. Fulton, Jr.
Robert Fulton’s legendary journey by motorcycle began in 1932 when he set out on an eighteen-month odyssey across Asia and the Mid-East. This is possibly the first, and certainly one of the best accounts of motorcycle adventure travel ever written.
Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Sumatra, Malaysia, Siam, Indonesia, China, and Japan are challenging destinations even today. But this story took place at the beginning of the 20th century. Only a special brand of adventurer would even consider such a journey—one exactly like Fulton.
His customized bike had an extra large fuel tank, a secret hiding place for his .32 revolver, and enough room in his luggage for a motion-picture camera and 40,000 feet of film. This entertaining story, narrated with Fulton’s remarkable insight and illustrated by his original drawings, photographs, maps, and charts, tells of his travels in Turkey, Waziristan, Afghanistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Robert Fulton is a Renaissance man with an enormous appetite for life who did not stop at dreams. This book takes you to a fascinating part of our world that’s been lost forever, seen through the eyes of one of the 20th century’s greatest spirits.

Two Wheels Through Terror: Diary of a South American Motorcycle Odyssey
$17.50
List Price:$24.95
by Glen Heggstad
Glen Heggstad, the self-proclaimed “Striking Viking,” is an adventure motorcyclist who seeks out and rides the most rugged places on the planet. He has been a Hell’s Angel and a martial arts competitor, but no amount of training or experience was able to prepare him for what he became while riding to the southern tip of South America: a prisoner.
This book is the shocking travelogue of Heggstad’s journey, his capture by Colombia“s rebel ELN army, and the eventual realization of a dream. Read about an exciting round-trip to the tip of the world, made all the more amazing by its intermission at the hands of terrorists.
Heggstad is ripped from his motorcycle, robbed of everything, and forced to march through strange jungles with assault rifles in his back. He is fed only small amounts of rice and water and is forced to carry heavy equipment, heavy packs, and heavy doubts about his future. Even with all the hand-to-hand and sophisticated combat training Heggstad possessed, it was his shrewd thinking, precise planning, and a “do-or-die” last act of desperation that eventually secured his freedom.
But Glen does not accept his ticket home to sunny Southern California. Instead, after weeks of torture and mental torment, he decides to show his terrorist captors that they had not beaten him, and that their violent methods will never beat Americans. With the help of his heroic support team back home, Heggstad receives another motorcycle, and another chance at realizing his dream. Heggstad races, hoping to outlast his failing motorcycle, out-maneuver the pitfalls ahead, and outrun the psychological avalanche barrelling down behind him.
Glen Heggstad has spared no detail from this account. He has stated that writing this book and reliving his tragedies was as painful as suffering through them the first time. Read this first-hand account of an ambitious motorcycle journey that gets horribly, and violently, detoured.

| 8 Around the Americas on a Motorcycle |
After weeks of anxiety, elation, fear and
hesitation, on July 1, 1997 author Werner Bausenhart set out to follow his
dream of circumnavigating the Americas by motorcycle, following a figure
eight pattern. The top loop, around North America, would be made in a
counterclockwise direction. The bottom loop, around South America, would be
clockwise. This entertaining book is the day-to-day account of his journey,
in which he went as far north as Deadhorse, Alaska, and as far South as
Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. The author offers insight into matters specific
to motorcycle travel: the documents required, maintenance of the bike,
border crossings, transportation of the bike by air freight, accommodations
and security for bike and rider. Bausenhart, a retired teacher who had only
recently started riding motorcycles, demonstrates that anyone with a strong
desire can enjoy motorcycle adventure travel.<br/>

| Africa: Against the Clock on a Motorcycle |
Born in Germany in 1937, Werner Bausenhart has been an avid traveler all his
life, but his longing for faraway places only increased when he discovered
the joys of adventure motorcycle touring. Upon retiring from the academic

Eastern Europe. The books he wrote about these trips soon became popular
among other like-minded riders.<br/>
His latest binge continues the quest, beginning in London and proceeding
down the west coast of Africa to Cape Town, South Africa, returning along
the east coast via Cairo. As with Bausenhart’s other books, he tells some
good stories, and includes a lot of practical tips and information for those
dreaming of similar adventures. Bausenhart’s desription of his journey
provides a fairly recent account of travel conditions in this part of the
world and he is able to give it the perspective of a seasoned and savvy
traveler.<br/>

| Around Australia the Hard Way in 1929 |
This is the true adventure story
of two young men from Sydney who decided to take a holiday with a twist and
circumnavigate Australia on a motorcycle. However, the year was 1929 and
much of Australia had not yet been explored. With the boundless optimism of
youth they bought a Magneto model Harley-Davidson motorcycle and sidecar
chassis. Customized it with wooden boxes for their gear, and set out to
conquer a continent with almost no money and neither a watch nor compass
between them. Seven weeks and over 15,000 km later they returned
travel-stained and triumphant, having endured almost every imaginable
hardship and danger, surviving through sheer guts and resourcefulness. A
tale of true Australian spirit, ingenuity, mateship and humor.

| Breaking the Limit |
Realizing that years of work and travel in other people’s countries made her
a stranger in her own, and with an invitation to meet her biological father
for the first time, Karen Larsen set out on a 15,000-mile trip with nothing
but her Harley-Davidson Sportster and the barest of essentials. Through the
fields of the Heartland, the deserts of the Southwest, over the Rockies, and
across Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, Larsen confronts questions of femininity,
family, independence, and personal identity. Her account of her trip is a
moving, beautifully rendered chronicle that vividly describes endurance and
discovery, and shows that sometimes the only way to find one’s place in the
world is to travel through it. |

| Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road |
Within a ten-month period, Neil Peart suffered family losses so devastating
that they left him a ghost—physically a man but with nothing inside: no
hope, meaning, faith, or desire to keep living. One year after the first
tragedy, Neil was choosing between life and his own death. Finally, all he
could decide was motion. He got on his BMW R1100GS motorcycle, and over the
next 14 months, rode 55,000 miles, in search of a reason to live. On a
journey of escape, exile, and exploration, he travelled from Quebec to
Alaska, down the Canadian and American coasts and western regions, to Mexico
and Belize, and finally back to Quebec. While riding “the Healing Road,”
Neil recorded in his journals his progress and setbacks in the
grieving/healing process, and the pain of constantly reliving his losses. He
also recorded with dazzling, colorful, entertaining, and moving artistry,
the enormous range of his travel adventures, from the mountains to the sea,
from the deserts to Arctic ice, and the dozens of memorable people,
characters, friends, and relatives he met along the way, who increasingly
contributed to his healing and sense of meaning and purpose. He begins the
journey with nothing, “the Ghost Rider.” What he finally attains is joy,
love, and indelible memories of the most extraordinary journey of his life.<br/>
Ghost Rider is a bold, brilliantly written, intense, exciting, and
ultimately triumphant narrative memoir from a gifted writer and musician,
who started out as a man reduced to trying to stay alive by staying on the
move.<bnr/>

| Motorcycle Yoga: Meditative Rides Through India |
Miles Davis arrived in India early in the 70’s eager to learn about its
culture, philosophy, religion and little-known sites of pilgrimage. Living
as a celibate monk for several years, he traveled thousands of miles on
buses and trains visiting remote areas and ancient temples. After twelve
years of monastic life, he married Raagini, an Indian doctor. A few years
later Raagini gave him an Indian-built 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet as a
birthday present. He set out once again to look at India anew, this time on
two wheels.<br/>
Covering dozens of rides condensed into six “composite rides;” Motorcycle
Yoga chronicles a motorcyclist’s true rediscovery of a great land steeped in
ancient history. The author describes India’s past glory and present
decadence, its kindness and cruelty, its tolerance and its descent into
corruption. The crux of Motorcycle Yoga is the rider’s mastery of his mind,
even while riding through unsettling situations. This is a discipline any
solitary, philosophical rider will understand.<br/>
Through Motorcycle Yoga the author enters bungalows of the upper caste and
huts of the poor. He finds himself on trial for murder on false charges.
Entering deep within the Kanha jungle he comes face to face with tigers. In
the human jungle of Calcutta, he finds himself at the center of a
bloodthirsty riot. Riding from crowded bazaars to remote places, the author
happens upon people surviving in isolation where foreigners have not been
seen in recent memory. At last he joins pilgrims at Old Hindustan’s ancient
shrines where sins are washed away on the path to eternity.<br/>
Motorcycle Yoga moves along like the rolling beat of a thumper’s piston. The
author’s freely shared experiences unlock the mysterious door to the central
Indian sub-continent allowing the reader passage into a land that is both
amazing and misunderstood. At times humorous and at others tragic,
Motorcycle Yoga is a must-read for any moto-adventurer that has ever
considered riding India’s dangerous yet enlightening roads.<br/>

| Riding the Edge |
Riding the Edge is an incredible journey by any standard, and to Dave Barr
and the people he’s inspired, it’s a dream come true. Barr is a rugged,
extraordinary adventurer who rode his 1972 Harley-Davidson around the world
despite the loss of both legs in an anti-tank mine explosion in Angola in
1981. His trip lasted four years, covering six continents and 83,000 miles!
He crossed several African deserts, circled the continent of Australia, and
negotiated the Andes during avalanche season, visiting cities and small
towns and meeting dramatically different people from every corner of the
world. Many of them lent a helping hand to Barr as he traveled alone through
dangerous terrain, bad weather, and challenging roads. One of only 100
people to have circumnavigated the world on a motorcycle, Dave is the first
person with a major disability to do so. On an epic journey of
self-exploration, Barr single-handedly created a whole new set of rules for
world travel. His book is written with great humor and candor, in a familiar
style that feels as if he’s sitting right next to you. Experiencing the
world with Dave Barr as your guide will provide you with a fascinating
change of perspective.<br/>

| She's a Bad Motorcycle: Writers on Riding |
Why do people ride motorcycles? Thomas
Krens, curator of The Art of the Motorcycle, the most popular exhibition
ever mounted at the Guggenheim Museum, writes: “For most of society, the
motorcycle remains a forbidden indulgence, an object of fantasy, and
danger.” And of envy. No other machine is thought of as “the perfect
vehicle” of rebellion, lawlessness, and freedom. This popular book collects
the writings of those who have sought to explain that freedom. With
selections from Eric Burdon, Peter Coyote, Robert E. Fulton Jr., Che
Guevara, Ted Simon, Ralph “Sonny” Barger, John Hall, S.E. Hinton, Dennis
Hopper, Robert Pirsig, Gary Paulson, Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe, and many
others, this major new anthology offers a wonderful sampling of the best

years, and thought they knew what to expect from an extended road trip, they
couldn’t foresee the unrelenting natural elements, shifts in once-shared
dreams, and fissures in their relationship that lay ahead. ““Anyone who
looks for truth in travel with find it here,”” says Ted Simon, author of

| The Motorcycle Diaries: A Journey Around South America |
This recently discovered private diary, written at the age of 23 by the late
Latin American revolutionary leader Che Guevara, chronicles his wild
yearlong ride around South America on an ancient and ailing Norton 500,
affectionately nicknamed “La Poderosa II” (the powerful one). During 1951
and ’52, Che and a fellow traveler stumble into various misadventures,
including stowing away on a cargo ship, exploring Incan ruins, volunteering
as firemen, and visiting a leper colony. Their route includes disasters and
discoveries, high drama, low comedy, falling in love, falling off their
bike, fights, parties, and a lot of serious drinking. This high-spirited
book mixes lyrical observation, anti-imperialist political analysis and a
sprinkling of the politically incorrect. Che’s display of solidarity with
the small-town miners and farm workers he meets on his trip foreshadows the
future revolutionary’s career as Fidel Castro’s chief lieutenant in the
Cuban revolution. Sixteen historic photographs accompany the text.<br/>
