Summary
A journey of 38,000 miles begins with a single twist of the throttle.
After six years of laying rubber on racetracks and immersing herself in the high octane, adrenaline pumping sport of motorcycle racing, Tiffani was yearning for something new from her life on two wheels.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), losing her comfortable office job was the perfect opportunity to do exactly that.
Twenty-eight years old, single, unattached, and now unemployed, she took her 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 and built the nimble sport bike into a make-shift adventure motorcycle. She packed it full of camping gear and set off on an adventure that she had always dreamed about.
The problem? Tiffani had scarcely traveled outside her long-time home in Los Angeles, let alone with nothing but a tent and hope to keep her safe.
Chronicles of a Motorcycle Gypsy is an inspiring tale of confronting fears, insecurities, and self- doubts for the sake of following your heart, all while discovering the many wonders of the 49 continental United States.
Tiffani encounters some of the best and worst of humanity, meets a friend who eventually makes her journey a little less lonely, and puts all of her riding skills to the test, struggling with everything from her first time riding a sport bike in deep sand to getting caught in a blizzard in the Colorado mountains. It's a big world outside the racetrack!
Originally published as a travelogue in Motorcyclist Magazine as Girl Meets World, this full-length memoir contains the untold stories and the details that were a little too racy for the blog.

Refreshing and compulsive listeninfb
Was looking around for a new motorcycle related listen. having Ted Simon as my first m/c hero( made me put on a bivvibag and sleeping bag & bunged it) on way back in the 80's on a 2 stroke 100cc yam. You look for something new and refreshing. And wow has tiffani done this, in bucket loads. I started listening and then it became obsessive listening, at work, at home, cooking, walking the dog etc. So enthusiastic writing. to be doing that adventure for the first time and recording it for us all thankyou. Remeniscant of Nathan Millward(the postie bike ride from oz) in the honesty selflessness and willingness to let the travel come to you and feel the kindness and help of others travel is amazing. I can't wait to listen to more of tiff's adventures. Especially the scuba diving

Good read for bikers!
I’ve read a fair few books on motorbike travels over the years and although this isn’t the top of my list it’s definitely up near the top.
If you’ve read the long way round or uneasy rider or Jupiter’s travels etc then you will enjoy this.
I look forward to hearing more from Tiffani about her adventures in future books.
🤙🏻
