books - pdedse - 07-19-2025

Does a thread on books related to motorcycles exist on this forum? I searched a bit but didn't find any. One could search the 'net / amazon, but sometimes it's nice to get a recommendation / suggestion.

I came across "King of the Desert" on the ADVrider site:

At amazon: https://www.amazon.com/King-Desert-world-record-motorcycle-Australias/dp/176147233X

I dream of riding around Australia one day and this book looks like a good find.

I've not seen such a thread, pdedse. Let this be it!

The book looks interesting, although I can't find it in me to confront Australia's (or anyone else's) deserts.

Here's another one that someone lent me. I've not read it yet so can make no recommendation.

I just started this book the other day my friend gave me, so far really good!

I've read that one and enjoyed it because of his bike "choice": an 1100 Honda Gold Wing to ride the world...for a long time (not giving anything away, that's in the title). The dude seems to have an amazing attitude.

I have a few books on motorcycles

Plus a selection of collectible mc magazines

I'm about at the point that I'd like to sell all of them, but shipping would be stupidly expensive I would think

For books you can use the USPS book rate (now called media rate). I haven't tried it in awhile, but in the past I found it much cheaper than regular shipping.

Someone gave me Ken Condon’s “Riding in the Zone” long ago. I’ve passed it on to a new rider I coached a while back.
