MAIDEN VOYAGE

Tim Notier sent me this book to review. He introduced it by stating that "Adventure can come in many forms. You may not have to cross oceans, or the borders of foreign lands to achieve a sense of accomplishment and wonder. Along the way you may find out a little more about yourself, and the ones you love. Join us on our test run to see if we can rely on what we can pack onto our motorcycle".

I found myself reading about a couple in Chicago who buy an adventure type of motorcycle with the idea of taking a trip around and through the Rocky Mountains on it. They quickly realize why they are called adventure motorcycles! The journey is well told in good but plain language, describing beautiful scenery and "interesting" characters befriended along the way. The story ranges from making you laugh to making you wish you were there to see the land for yourself. Many things you may never expect on a trip such as this beside the rains and other weather just kind of happen to them. Overall, like most of us doing something like this, they were not ready to do it but convinced themselves they were. They had prepped thoroughly! What could go wrong? Buy it and read it and find out! You'll also find out what went right! You can find it on Amazon. Mark
