Silk Riders - Book

[vifferman]

On a side note, did anyone else find "The long way round" entertaining but a bit uneventful?

I haven't even bothered.
At about the same time as their much-publicised and well-supported jaunt, Glen Heggstad was doing much the same trip, but longer, and without a team of support people and cameramen following him. It made Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman look like wussies.

Silk Riders - never even finished it for all the reasons given above.
Long Way Round - enjoyed that, saw the series first, so it filled some gaps and I enjoyed learning about how they both got into bikes.
Race to Dakar - Charley Boorman - really enjoyed it, read it before I saw the DVD, read it several times.
Adventure Motorcycling Handbook - excellent reference, good read.
Jupiters Travels - OK but did not enjoy as much as I hoped.
