Kurzbeschreibung
High Fidelity meets Jupiter's Travels in this hilarious and urban angst-ridden take on the classic biker memoir genre
Synopsis
A broken heart and a moment of drunken bravado inspires middle-aged, and typically rather cautious, journalist Mike Carter to take off on a life-changing six month motorcycle trip around Europe. Never mind that he hadn't been on two wheels since an inglorious three-month teenage chapter involving a Lambretta, four crashes and an 18-month ban for drink-driving, a plan had begun to loosely form...And so, having completed a six day residential motorcycle course and hastily re-mortgaged his flat, Mike sets off alone, resolving to go wherever the road takes him and enjoy the adventure of heading off into the unknown. He ends up travelling almost 20,000 miles and reaching the four extremes of Europe: the Arctic Circle in the north, the Mediterranean coast in the south, the Portuguese Atlantic to the west and the Iraqi border of Turkey in the east. But really it's a journey inwards, as, on the way, Mike finds his post-divorce scars starting to heal and attempts to discover what he, as a man in his forties who hasn't quite found his place in the world, should be doing.Self-deprecating, poetic and utterly engaging, his is a heroic journey taken for the rest of us too scared to leave our 9 to 5 office-bound existence.

Excellent Book - Even if you are not an avid motorcyclist

Kudos to Mike Carter for riding the atypical biker adventure book. Written with self-deprecating humor and witty observations of his surroundings, Mr. Carter shows us that the destinations he arrives at are secondary to the people he meets along the way.
Just be sure to read in a far off place of the house. I woke up the family dog and annoyed the Mrs. because I was laughing out loud to loud and too often.
Highly recommended. If you like adventure, you will not be disappointed.
I love this book.

A good read

Over the past year ive read a dozen or so books of this type. Mike Carters "Uneasy Rider" is a good read. The book is entertaining and the story is well constructed. My only critique's are that as an American, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with some of the more English (UK) "slang". Secondly and more importantly. No pictures? I would have to argue that any non-fictional, travel book should include pictures from the event itself. It helps the reader to visualize as well as associate. But overall, the book is as I said, "a good read".
