If you ride or have ridden on a motorcycle you have had a two-wheeled experience. Whether you liked it or not - well done! Motorcycles are more than just a means of transport to the motorcyclist. A motorcycle is an extension of the person riding it, and from the moment you climb aboard an adventure begins. Every adventure is different and (in the main) enjoyable, but the endings can be unpredictable sometimes. This book is about many of the adventures I have had on two wheels including the ones that did not end well. Nevertheless, all were great life learning opportunities. Who would have thought that a motorcycle could be an instrument of learning, a sort of outdoor classroom? I continue to ride and I learn more during every adventure I have. Let the good times roll!

Nigel, a Kiwi on a three-year assignment at the New Zealand Embassy in Washington, DC, is hell bent on riding a motorcycle along the iconic Route 66.

Without a real idea of how, when, or who is going to do it with, Nigel decides to simply make things up as he goes along, allowing those who want to join him to do their own thing. Nigel believes that flexibility puts the venture in adventure. A humorous story of one man’s desire to tick off his #1 bucket list item and create everlasting memories for a few motorcycling mates.
