Lone Rider: The First British Woman to Motorcycle Around the World Kindle Edition

Elspeth Beard accomplished a truly phenomenal feat of motorcycle ridding that would be considered impossible until she proved otherwise. Not only those of us who ride but anyone who understands the people, places and incredible conditions she encountered can only be left with a sense awe and amazement.

Short and sweet here. An amazing book written by an amazing woman. She was the Itchy Boots before Noraly and incredibly tough. This really isn't a feel good book about how wonderful and amazing the world is, but about a woman that wouldn't give up when facing some really big problems and more than a few nasty people. I, and probably all my friends, could never hold a candle to her as she's an example of what a person can do if they never give up. What a badass woman. I can only hope to be 1/2 as tough as Elspeth Beard. Worth reading.

I had a dream, late in life, to have an adventure similar to this. However, I realized that I was too committed to a growing family to begin such an adventure. So, I began riding a touring bike for short journeys while camping along the way. I also began riding off road with a dual sport bike for a different kind of thrill.

if few books will deserve to be an ever-lasting classic for bykers, this for sure is one. it is worth every minute reading it !

Elspeth brave and exceptional girl that travelled the world with motorcycle in her book successfully depicted atmosphere of the countries visited. It takes courage to share personal feelings and expose intimate experiences. Great book that i highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this story.Such a kick arse adventure. And reminded me of how things were back then,and haven't really changed.

a unbelievable adventure by a woman alone on a motorcycle around the world. The intensity at times and trial that Elsbeth went through was unimaginable. I sent copies to at least 6 other people and they all loved this adventure too

Excellent adventure story as 1 young woman rode motorcycle around the word solo.
