Neil recorded in his journals the enormous range
of his travel adventures. Sftbd., 400 pp., b/w illus.

moment of drunken bravado
inspired middle-aged,
typically cautious journalist
Mike Carter to embark
on a six-month-long
motorcycle trip around
Europe.
After completing a brief
residential motorcycle
course and hastily remortgaging
his apartment,
Mike set off alone, resolving
to go wherever the road took him. By the end
of his journey, Mike had traveled nearly 20,000
miles and had roamed from the Arctic Circle in
the north of Europe to the Mediterranean coast
in the south, and from the Portuguese Atlantic
coast in the west to the Iraqi border of Turkey in
the east.

Mike through his adventures into nations and
towns of every variety, as well as into his own
mind as he finds his post-divorce scars starting to
heal and attempts to discover his purpose in life.

Mike's is a heroic and inspiring journey for anyone
who ever wanted to leave the nine-to-five in
the dust. Sftbd., 5 x 7-3/4 in., 352 pp., no illus.

One Man Caravan
by Robert E. Fulton, Jr.
Robert Fulton’s legendary
journey by motorcycle began
in 1932 when he set out on an
eighteen-month odyssey
across Asia and the Mid-East.
This is possibly the first, and
certainly one of the best
accounts of motorcycle
adventure travel ever written.
Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, India,
Sumatra, Malaysia, Siam, Indonesia, China, and
Japan are challenging destinations even today.
But this story took place at the beginning of the
20th century. Only a special brand of adventurer
would even consider such a journey—one exactly
like Fulton.
His customized bike had an extra large fuel
tank, a secret hiding place for his .32 revolver,
and enough room in his luggage for a motionpicture
camera and 40,000 feet of film. This
entertaining story, narrated with Fulton’s remarkable
insight and illustrated by his original drawings,
photographs, maps, and charts, tells of his
travels in Turkey, Waziristan, Afghanistan,
Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Robert Fulton was a Renaissance man with an
enormous appetite for life who did not stop at
dreams. This book takes you to a fascinating part
of our world that’s been lost forever, seen through
the eyes of one of the 20th century’s greatest spirits.
