On October 6, 1973, Ted Simon realized there was no heading back. He packed up his 500cc Triumph Tiger in the pouring rain and said good-bye to London. Over four years he rode 64,000 a long way across the world. Breakdowns, revolutions, battle, a spell in prison, and a Californian commune were all part of his experience, which was shaded variously by utter despair and unimaginable happiness. He was cared for as a spy, a god, a pleasant stranger, and a curiosity. The outstanding trip became a voyage into his own heart, and for most others - like the bikers Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor - this can be a pure enthusiasm. Rupert Degas, "the most adaptable of narrators" (The Times), catches all the thrills and spills of Simon's experience and the ageless charm.
