Last night's Christmas party was great. Thus, this note will be short. I'm sure you understand.
Best motorcycle travel book by a woman - Lois on the Loose by Lois Pryce. The cover blurb say it all, “One woman, One motorcycle, 20,000 miles across the Americas” Typical scenario, worker bee by day decides to chuck it all and go for a ride. Except that this time the bee is a woman and the bike is not some enormous adventure bike but rather a pedestrian Yamaha 250 dirt bike.
She leaves her job in London, ships her bike to Alaska, and heads south. She collects friends and bruises along the way and shows that imagination and grit will win every time. She had a follow up book Revolutionary Ride about her trip across Iran.
Worst motorcycle travel book by a woman - Lone Rider by Elspeth Beard. Same story as Lois Pryce but Ms. Beard is whiney and irritating. I tossed the book into the recycle bin after the first 50 pages to make sure nobody else had to suffer through her endless whimpering about her bad decisions.
Bonus: Best motorcycle travel videos by a woman - Itchy Boots - Noraly is tough, resourceful, and so darn smart! The videos show off a first rate sense of humor! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEIs9nkveW9WmYtsOcJBwTg
