Description
Motorcycle Messengers 2 is another collection of stories from some of the leading writers in the motorcycle travel genre. Consider it a sample pack of travel tales.
- Billy Ward spends a night out beside a broken motorcycle, considering defense strategies against hungry lions and lascivious hippos in Africa.
- Carla King wrestles with conflicting emotions after crashing her motorcycle in India.
- Sam Manicom battles bulldust and heat exhaustion in the outback of Australia.
- Lois Pryce bonds with a one-legged retired army General while singing "The Final Countdown" in Iran.
- Ed March gets a drunken idea for a stupid, pointless adventure and, in spite of sobering up later, still carries on with it in Mongolia.
- Jeremy Kroeker discovers that his days of crashing motorcycles are not yet behind him in Colombia.
- Ted Simon encounters a healer, of sorts, who helps restore in him a sense of wonder for the journey in Thailand.
About the author
Jeremy Kroeker is a freelance writer, a speaker, mountaineer and the award-winning author of Motorcycle Therapy – A Canadian Adventure in Central America. With his motorcycle, he has travelled to over 30 countries while managing to do at least one outrageously stupid thing in every one. He has evaded police in Egypt, tasted teargas in Israel, scrambled through minefields in Bosnia and Lebanon and wrangled a venomous snake in Austria. One time he got a sliver in El Salvador. His writing has appeared in newspapers such as the Toronto Star, Winnipeg Free Press and Calgary Herald, and in U.S. magazines such as Alpinist, and Outrider Journal. He was born in Manitoba, grew up in Saskatchewan and currently lives in Canmore, Alberta.
