Chapter 6In this segment of Chapters we have Motorcycle Traveler/Adventurer Graham Field, author of 4 (soon to be 5) books.  This episode features a Chapter from Graham's book "In Search of Greener Grass". To give you an idea of what the book is about, here is the book synopsis from Amazon:“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 stro

Chapter 5In this segment of Chapters we have Rick Antonson, Author of "Route 66 Still Kicks: Driving America's Main Street". This travelogue follows Rick and his travel companion Peter along 2,400 miles through eight states from Chicago to Los Angeles as they discover the old Route 66. With surprising and obscure stories about Route 66 personalities like Woody Guthrie, John Steinbeck, Al Capone, Salvador Dali, Dorothea Lange, Cyrus Avery (the Father of Route 66), the Harvey Girls, Mickey Mantle, and Bobby Troup (songwriter of “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66”), Antonson’s fresh perspective reads like an easy drive down a forgotten road: winding, stopping now and then to mingle with the locals and reminisce about times gone by, and then getting stuck in the mud, sucked into its charms. Rick mixes hilarious anecdotes of happenstance travel with the route’s difficult history, its rise and fall in popularity, and above all, its place in legend. The author has committed part of his book’s proceeds to t

Chapter ThreeNick Adams likes old Moto Guzzi's and he rides them. With 6 books to his credit, Nick documents his rides around Canada, which is blessed with thousands of kilometers of empty roads, which seem to wind on forever through forested hills and between still blue lakes. What better way to explore them than by riding 40-year-old Italian motorbikes, famous for their dodgy electrics and sparse dealer network? Forty-year-old bikes, aged rider, thousands of kilometers of virtually unserviced empty roads in the middle of bear, wolf, and blackfly-infested wilderness.... what could possibly go wrong?Today's Chapter is from "Beyond the Coffee Shop: Riding 1970s Moto Guzzi Motorcycles in Northern Canada" Special Thanks to our Sponsors:   Tobacco Motorwear  /  Shinko Tires /  Scorpion Helmets /  Wild-Ass SeatsThe Motorcycle Men Support David's Dream and Believe Cancer FoundationThe Gold Star Ride Foundation  GET YOUR MOTORCYCLE MEN SHIRTS HERE!!! /  Get your Motorcycle Men Neck Gator an
