Great read!
I'm a busy mother of 4 and have found this book pure escapism. It's been a facinating insight into the world back in the 70's (when I was a child!). I enjoyed Ewan and Charley's adventures but now I can see where their inspiration came from. It's not always a light read but I can't recommend it enough!

This is a brilliant book
I love this book, it's one of my treasured favourites and I have re-read it many times over the years. From our armchair we go with Ted around the world, sharing in his fears, joys and small triumphs. He is an excellent writer who shows many insights; we get to know him as a friend. I enjoyed the follow-up, Riding High too, but not as much as this one.

Be a pillion passenger with Ted!
Brought this book on holiday to Bulgaria to pick up and read a few pages each day by the pool.Ended up reading the whole book in 2 days. Could not put it down. Just can't wait to read follow up.

The Benchmark
Comparing this book with Ewan and Charley's is unavoidable. McGregor and Boorman have had all the hype and the star treatment however so maybe it's unfair. Did Ted have a support crew and 2 full sets of custom tools to fall back on? No he didn't. Neither did he have enough cash to buy a new bike and new four wheel drive wagon when the going got tough. Ted did it on his own and with a bike from a factory unable to spring to his aid if needed. Ewan changed some spark plugs, Ted rebuilt his whole engine. If you want a book that started it and all tells you how to with the minimum of resources then this is for you. As Ewan and Charley point out, he's the one who led and all the others follow.
