Right to the Edge: Sydney to Tokyo by Any Means

Great read charlie - love the little anecdotes and the lovely irreverent twist he puts on stuff - not the greatest piece of literature but certainly touches the heart of a motor cyclist who dreams of these adventures - wortha good afternoo or two. light but fun with good real life adventure- Im jealous

Another solid effort from Charley- this second By Any Means book and TV series focuses less on the travel and more about the people and culture. There's less countries and no Russ, but the countries Charley visits are covered in much more detail. The book covers even more than the TV series and explains things in more depth. For biking fans, there are many more motorbikes this time round.

The writing is not high class literature, but the telling of Hiroshima's Genbaku Domu had me wiping away tears- I think Charley captured the emotions you feel there beautifully.
