Sam Manicom

Some people really personify adventure riding.  Sam Manicom is one of those people.  Wanting to do something completely different, Sam Manicom decided he wanted to learn to ride a motorcycle.  Three months later with only the skills he’d learned riding on pavement, he set off to ride the length of Africa. His planned one-year trip turned into an eight-year epic across 55 countries.

Sam has condensed his journeys into four separate books in the order on which his journey transpired:

1. Into Africa

2. Under Asian Skies

3. Distant Suns

4. Tortillas To Totems

Each is a great fun read and I learned a lot about Sam, his traveling companion Birgit and the people and places they visited along the way.  Do yourself a favor and pick up Sam’s books a learn a lot about riding the world and how Sam (and Birgit) shrunk the planet as they traveled its surface.

You can get a signed copy of Sam’s books by clicking here  at Sam’s own web page, or you can get them through the R2ADV Gear Store found at the top of the page.
