Two Wheels and a Tent

Motorcycling Adventures in America

De: Mark Gowan

Narrado por: Mark Gowan

Mark and his Suzuki DL 650 that he calls “Mabel” love adventure. This is a collection of some of the adventures that they have shared. Like most motorcyclists, a certain relationship develops with the motorcycle; Mabel and Mark trust each other.

As they have found out on many occasions adventures are those things that happen to plans and sometimes you need someone you can trust. These are some of those stories.

“Mabel and I have had our fun and our difficulties. Both she and I are getting up there in years but I like to think that both of us have a few more thousand miles in us. I know that when I get back from a long tour and park Mabel it’s not long before I’m thinking of my next adventure, and I think I can hear Mabel thinking about the same thing."

Constant complaining about everything possible on his mild “adventure”.

I had to keep fast forwarding the book multiple times as he complains about just about every aspect of motorcycle travel. Weather, politics, road conditions, temperature, traffic, gear failure and people who don’t agree with his politics. He should only ride in California and Colorado front range where the weather is perfect and the people bleed blue. He judges most people he meets on his travels based on politics, and belittles them for their opinions and how they chose to live their lives if they are conservative. All while riding across the rural Midwest, which is 90% conservative. If you want to listen to the complaints of a wanna be adventurer who stays in hotels and eats at restaurants (which he insults), then complains about not camping, this book is for you. Oh, forgot to mention the complaints about the quality of every cup of coffee across the US, while on a road trip…
