Motorcycle Dream Ride

My Alabama to Alaska Adventure

By: David Mixson

Narrated by: Trevor Vaughan

Length: 4 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

This audiobook isn’t just for motorcyclists. It’s for anyone who dreams of doing something magical, but gets stuck in excuses and self-doubts. It’s for anyone who needs encouragement to do that something they’ve always wanted to do, but haven’t.

Motorcycle Dream Ride is bigger than a play-by-play account of two guys riding their motorcycles to Alaska and back. It’s a story about exploration, perseverance, and friendship. It’s a story about two friends doing something they had made excuses not to do for years. It’s also a story about silencing the “I can’t do that” inner voice that lives in all of us.

"I wrote this book so Mike and I can remember what we experienced along the way—the people we met and the challenges we overcame. But, bigger than that, I wrote this book to challenge you to live your big dream." (David Mixson)

Motorcycle Dream Ride is the second book in the Motorcycle Smarts book series.

get it.

if you like riding or just thinking about riding this is a good book. I really enjoyed it and the narration was good.

good book

Overall it was a good story but way too many chapters A lot of those chapters could have been Grouped together. I did appreciate his Final thoughts on their ride plans As it will help me to rethink my ride plan this year to Florida

Enjoy

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I have been on a few big trips none to Alaska yet.

I loved this book

It could be an excellent audiobook for the whole family while cross-country driving. Great audiobook

Inspirational, interesting story for a fellow motorcyclist wanting to do something similar

it was a real thorough, interesting account of each day of the ride with lots of details about the places they visited, the journey to each destination, the people they met and things they did, it's worth your time. I would have liked a bit more about the motorcycles because I love that stuff but it was still great, I found the reader to be annoying, didn't like his voice, intonations, and some of his pronunciations, wait until you hear him say "glacier," fingers on the chalkboard for me

Inspirational! Don’t miss it!

You might not expect to be inspired by a book about a motorcycle ride…but you will be! It’s a very detailed story about 2 friends riding from Alabama to Alaska. I could not stop listening! I had to know what they encountered and experienced the next day! The uniqueness of the book is the author’s desire to inspire you…and,that, he does!

Great Book

This was a great book and it has inspired me to get out and ride more. The only negative was that the narrator wasn't from the south and mis-pronounced words. Don't let that discourage you. Listen to the book.

Enjoy the journey

Enjoyed listening to the journey of 2 good friends. Was a fun time between 2 good friends of like interest. Made me smile as I did an 11 day back packing hike on the AT with a friend and I had never camped a day in my life. Many stories- I wish I had documented better. Good job David! And yes, everyone needs a Mike in their life. I took the lead only one time on our hike and within 5 minutes we were off the trail in a bear den! Ha ha!

If they can do it, I can do it.

As an avid and lifelong motorcyclist, I've often thought about a similar ride. The narration was straightforward and honest -- you gotta love NASA engineers! I was thankful for many of the travel tip and thoughts about how they could have improved the trip. I hate to admit that I also enjoyed the way that the author encouraged anyone thinking about a similar dream to stop looking for reasons why you can't go and start looking for reasons why you should. I read one review suggesting that the book might have been shortened. I disagree. I found myself wishing for more detours that might have lengthen the story. Having read a number of similar motorcycle travel books, this rates among my favorite.

Very good tale of adbventure motorcycle trip

Like a friend telling you about his trip. Easy listening, entertaining, and interesting . Well done
