Travel books, adventure books, maintenance books, get 'em listed.. please!

One Man Caravan by Robert Fulton Junior

When I were a lad Duncan somebody or other (or something or other Duncan), who became a Blue Peter presenter, was previously in a kids TV programme about a biker. They brought out a book with him on the cover. I read that book as a kid and enjoyed it.
Is this the naffest response to a post ever?

I remember that. It was about speedway riding. I think he made it just before his p*rn film.

Only a smidgen off topic.......

Can anyone recommend a magazine (motorcycle biased) that covers
* off roaders/green laners ect
* adventure travel
* touring info
* riders/travellers stories

General motorcycle mags just bore me into the ground... like... who really cares how fast the latest piece of japanese plastic goes?

So keen to find one that you asked twice,eh ??

You`re probably best off with TBM...TrailBike(and enduro)Monthly because over a year it covers all the aspects that you mention.
I`ve got every issue since number 1

Another 'not bad' one is Motorcycle Sport and Leisure.

Like you,I'm not remotely interested in all these head down arse up plastic pellets that most of the glossy monthly rags get so excited about.
