Beyond Bucharest: Motorcycle Adventure Travel

book cover
Author: Bob Goddard
Edition year: 2009
HorizonsUnlimited description:

2 motorbikes, 12 countries, 16 borders... and one helluva tale to tell!

It sounded simple enough: emulate their screen heroes by riding motorbikes to Eastern Europe in aid of a children's charity. But Bob & Viv Goddard were nervous grandparents, not fit youngsters on sponsored bikes with a back-up crew.

Their ride to Bucharest and beyond, across twelve countries and sixteen border crossings, through storm, flood and tempest, was almost a challenge too far...

Ride with them along the Road to Hell, into the City of Nightmares and through the Valley of Death. Okay, that last one might be stretching the truth just a tad.

Join them for an inadvertent night in a brothel. Laugh with them at the absurdities of life on the road. Hop on board for the adventure of a lifetime... and hold on tight!

Beyond Bucharest costs £9.95 in bookshops or just £7.00 ordered direct from us on this website, including p&p to UK addresses - and all the author's royalties from the sale go to UK charity EveryChild.
