About this listen

“Well, now I’m committed,” he thought to himself after telling a national TV game show audience that he wanted to ride a motorcycle to Mongolia with his winnings. He felt the fear that commitment always induced in him; he was hoping they might have edited that bit out. Commitments are something he tried to get as far away from as possible, the only other constants in his life being twenty-five years of financial prudence, travel and motorcycle obsession.So there he was, committed to going very, very far on a motorcycle with his meager prize money. Consequently, he spent a winter on eBay and a spring in the garage preparing his $1000 KLR 650 for an uncertain life on the road. Armed with a cynical humor, a strong sense of direction, a vague sense of balance, and no sense of proportion, he embarked on a 15,000-mile solo motorcycle ride to see what would break first; bike, body, or budget. Leaving an indifferent existence in England behind he headed east, looking for purpose, a new life, and a new location to live it. He was in search of greener grass.

I really enjoyed this personal account of a great motorcycle journey. I laughed out loud many times. I also appreciated the frank and honest opinions the authors gave on places he visited and people he encountered.

The author is a talented writer and I was sad when this book finished ! I will download his other books ASAP! If you like motorbikes this will be right up your alley but I think anyone will enjoy this great travel tale.

Didn’t want it to end !

Very honest and down to earth. Makes me want to meet the author in real life and travel with him! :)
This is the best motorcycle travel book I've listened to. Captivating narrative, story telling at its best. If you're listening to it in public with headphones on, people might wonder what you're laughing at.

This book is how I came across this author, and I'm super glad I found him! This is a genuine and honest account of Graham's brave and intriguing life choices, taking you with him on an experience many would dream of, but few will ever have the guts to begin. I strongly recommend all of Graham's other books too, you don't need to be a biker to appreciate them; they are engaging on so many levels. The best thing is that they are Narrated by the author, Graham, and his enthusiasm is palpable. I'm really looking forward to future releases!

as a fellow biker / traveler I could relate so easily to a lot of Graham's thoughts as he traveled around . many of his problems I had also encountered to a lesser or greater extent . I enjoyed his honest view point and found it refreshing to hear some one tell it how it is . reading this book as just made me hungry for another road trip and more adventures .
I have had the pleasure of meeting Graham on a few occasions and he's a really nice guy full of useful tips and advice
i wish him many more safe journeys

really great read

Having just listened to Graham’s newest book, he mentions book review. It’s not really something I’ve done before but it seems fitting now. All the authors books are very well written, he takes you along with him and with him also narrating them it adds a big dose of authentic charm. Excellent books.

We all want greener grass.

I really liked the honesty Graham puts into the explanations. A really challenging ride with trials of long distance travel and the reliability of an old bike. The highs were made all the better by the frustrations overcome. A great end to such a long and eventful journey.

Loved the whole of this book, it’s so honest. It took me on his journey and all its amazement and frustration and humour and grumpy rants about the irritating people and bureaucracy he came across on the way!

Funny, interesting and real
