    Is it Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance​ (Robert M. Pirsig), Jupiter's Travels (Ted Simon), Race to Dakar (Charley Boorman​) Touching the World: A Blind Woman, Two Wheels and 25,000 Miles​ (Cathy Birchall), the very funny Bonjour! Is This Italy?: A Hapless Biker's Guide to Europe​ (Kevin Turner) or one of four great Adventure Motorcycle Travel Books by Sam Manicom​?
