Jonathan Yates has always been a keen traveller, backpacking Australia and Asia immediately after graduating from university. His father’s motorcycling exploits on a BSA Bantam back in the ’60s left a lasting impression, encouraging him to finally pass his bike test in 1999.
The combination of wanderlust and a motorcycle licence proved a great temptation. Jonathan soon part-exchanged his Yamaha Fazer for a Ténéré, and the trip was on. He left the UK on the Eurostar, riding east to Beijing before continuing through South East Asia, Australia and the Americas during a one-year sabbatical.
This book details how to organise such a trip, and features a series of daily photographs capturing Jonathan’s own experiences on his amazing journey.
