Riding China is now available on Kindle (along with my other books on long-distance adventure riding on the RX3, including 5000 Miles at 8000 RPM and Moto Colombia!). Here’s the link to get the book on Kindle.
What’s kind of cool about the Kindle link is that it lets you see the first few pages of Riding China, and that gets you in a place where you can read the Foreword penned by none other than world-famous motojournalist and good buddy Joe Gresh. Joe writes for Motorcyclist magazine and he’s a great guy. Gresh may read this blog and laugh at my description of him as world famous, but folks, trust me on this: He is. I’ve traveled across China with Mr. Gresh, and he is most definitely famous. When you read the book, you’ll find out all about it.
I am getting more and more excited about the upcoming Horizons Unlimited event in Mariposa. It’s next week from 22 to 25 September, and if you want to be with real people who do real adventure riding, this is the place you want to be. Carla King, Reg Kitrelle, Sam Manicom, and other well-known authors and motojournalists will be there. There’s a good chance Clement Salvadori may swing by, too (he was there last year). I’d say this is the coolest motorcycle event I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot of motorcycle events. Adventure riders are good people, and the Horizons Unlimited event just has a good vibe.
The original plan was for me to give a presentation about the ride across China (and I’m going to do that), but my schedule has been expanded to include a presentation on the ride through Colombia, too. I’m excited about that. You may not know this, but Colombia is the hottest motorcycle market on the planet. They actually buy more motorcycles every year in Colombia than we do here in the United States! And the riding in Colombia…it was amazing!
If you make it to the Horizons Unlimited event, and I really hope you do, please stop by to say hello. I’d love to see you.
