Reviews

4 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 10/08/2009

A well written storey that combines the joy of riding a motor scooter with a travel log. The scooter is the catalyst for a series of events and adventures. The book highlights includes dealing with the breakdowns and the consequent interaction with locals.
