Thought every motorcyclist in the universe had heard of Ted Simon-inspired many a long distance tourer. Jupiters Travels is a great book even if you dont ride a bike. But beware!Ater you have read it you may want to tell the boss to stick his job,sell your house and go! Charlie

Jupiters Travels is a great book
Totally agree, read it in two sittings ;D
I can recommend the Ron Ayres books as well, Against the wind is a good read..

You've cracked my guilty secret Alpaholic, can't leave my desk at work for salivating over your many pictures. Boss thinks I'm working though.
To be fair some of them are quite good, normally the ones with a parked bike and no Alpaholic.

I think the only decent album he did on his own was 'Graceland'. Apart from that I preferred his work with Art Garfunkel.

Ted is a quietly spoken guy but a good storyteller. very self efacing, telling us more of his mishaps than hero stories .Still has a refined English accent despite living in the USA for years. A top bloke. really. The first thing he did was press a beer into everyones hand. Charlie
