Lone Rider: The First British Woman to Motorcycle Around the World by Elspeth BeardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
An amazing read. It's full of adventure, culture, excitement, romance, mystery and of course a woman riding a motorcycle.
She has detailed how the various cultures viewed a woman riding a big motorcycle in the early 80s though am sure that there are certain subtle changes over the decades now.
She is a young woman, just after college, setting out on a round the world trip on a motorcycle in 1982 when it was not the done thing. Despite all odds she goes ahead and proves that once you put your passion to work there is no looking back.
She started her ride from London, USA, Australia, South East, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Turkey and back to London.
Her description of riding on various roads/offroads is an education for all motorcyclists.
A must read for every motorcyclist and travellers.
