A Fast Bike to North Cape

The Petrolhead Travelogues, Book 2

The year is 1989. The destination is North Cape, far inside the Arctic Circle. An era of travel without smartphones, GPS, Google Maps, and still not an ounce of common sense. Andy has swapped his battered old Suzuki for a spanking new Kawasaki GPZ1000RX. Let's ride together as we cross fjords, frozen tundra and high mountain passes to reach the most northern point of Europe.

Witty, poignant and accidentally informative, the story tells of travel in a time long gone, when we read paper maps like pirates on the high seas, and friends were made and lost along roads less travelled. A Fast Bike to North Cape is a hilarious true-life travelogue full of interesting characters, uncomfortable moments, terrible choices, and British humour that will appeal to lovers of Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, and David Sedaris. All the books in the Petrolhead Travelogue series can be listened to in any order.

Another masterpiece

I mean, to a biker, and a long distance rider, this is as close to profound road poetry as you can get.

I listened to the first book in this series and I was hooked. This one followed in the quality and the realism of the journey. Yet it did not repeat the first book. An entirely new and fully entertaining biographical story with lots of fun, funny, and tough situations navigated on two wheels.

Friendships, geographies, and history woven together with motorcycles threading the whole story together!

5 Stars!

Great read!

Like Andy’s other motorcycle books, this one is great and I couldn’t stop listening to it, they are all hilarious
