Editorial Reviews

Irish Times, 11 April 2007
This story is about the open road, the wind in your face and
what's around the next corner. Our two amigos pass through countries and
landscapes that most of us have only dreamt of . . . The clash of the
reality of biking and the romance of the journey is what I enjoyed most and
Hill's style, honed over years entertaining and surprising readers across
Northern Ireland, suited it perfectly. This is a great yarn.

Verbal Magazine, 27 March 2007
The most inspiring and laugh-out-loud funny travelogue of the last
fifty years. The yearning of an unmitigated adventurer leaps off every
line.

Nacelle, The Magazine of the Triumph Owners' Motorcycle Club, October 2007
Very funny and entertaining ... it provides plenty of chuckles as well as moments of tension as the journey unfolds.

the road to gobblers knob1
Pretty pointless yarn...the main problem is the author and his use of non stop so-called "Irish Wit" from start to finish of the book which just becomes a big turn-off after the first chapter. If you are thinking of subjecting yourself this nonsense - be warned..

A Brilliant Read5
An absolutely brilliant read. Not your normal motorbike rabblings. This was a great read from start to finish. So well written, very funny, full of interest and even very moving. Well done Geoff Hill. Happy and safe motorcycling.

brief review4
found the book better than the usual travel writing....... well written, with relentless humour (mostly funny in my head)....... its generaly brief about all the places visited and about the preperation of the venture... mister Hill turns on the poetic descriptions of certain times, places and feelings far less than i wish he had done..... if your looking for details for ideas to sort your own panamericana trip , this is weak in info, but it will inspire as it has me..... cant help love the mans spirit.
