I was a fan of Neil Pearts music and lyrics long before I learned he rode a GS. His books are based on his travels and I have enjoyed reading them all and wish him many more safe miles.
Neil Peart handles drums and lyrics for Rush; he frequently rides from venue to venue while on tour. To learn more and catch up with him see his website at http://www.neilpeart.com/
Ted Simon is the father of the round the world adventure. He made the trip twice 30 years apart and the two books proviode allot of insight into how our world has changed.
Ian McGregor and Charlie Boorman have been around the world on Long Way Round and went from Ireland to the tip of Africa on Long Way Down. Both Books and DVD's are good and fun to watch. I cant wait until their next adventure.
