Grasshopper Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 I am currently reading, Home by Seven by Steph Jeavons Here is a quick summary: One woman's solo journey to ride all seven continents on two wheels. A Welsh girl, Steph Jeavons ran away to see the world. She wanted to see the sunset from every angle. She wanted to see an orangutan and a baobab tree. She wanted to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe and ride a motorcycle on all seven continents - and to sing karaoke on the way. ---------------------- It is really good so far and very refreshing to read. Refreshing in the way that she is rough around the edges and doesn't hide it. She speaks her mind and considering her lows in life, still managed an amazing adventure that no one else has done. A serious page turner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 First off, apart from @Slowlycatchymonkey I can't imagine any of the genetic mutants on here having the intellectual capacity to read a book. As for Steph, she's a seriously tough girl......good to see her doing so well now! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 @Grasshopper's Ride I love this thread cos I love a good book THANKYOU. @skyrider reads a lot of mobike books so he’ll have some good ones to offer up That @XTreme is a ride Ill never forget. Riding through the mud at night with the Himalayan’s less than brilliant headlight was an experience you dont forget Only 12 made it to the end (not including Steph) two slid off the side the mountain four had broken bones and the others spirits were crushed after 3 days of that stuff. Jeavons book is excellent, the honesty and rawness of her early drug addiction is worth a read on its own. Currently reading Hunter S Thompsons Hells Angels. Some of its brilliantly observed and compelling reading other parts are like wading through treacle. Next up on my list is Nathan Millward’s Long Way Home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
