While I was at Half Price Books I randomly happened across this one and thought it looked interesting. Well, it turns out that it was. It’s a sort of a travelogue/blog of Ewan MacGregor and Charlie Boorman’s motorcycle trip from London to New York, heading east through europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Alaska, Canada, and then the U.S., riding on BMWs. It was a lot of fun to read, making me laugh and cry a number of times throughout it. They definitely ran into some rough “roads” in eastern Russia, but did really well getting through and around the obstacles. It shows just how difficult this type of ride really is, especially for a couple guys who don’t do this for a living. It really made me want to get on the BMW and set out for points elsewhere… |
