About this listen

The year is 1989. The destination is North Cape, far inside the Arctic Circle. An era of travel without smartphones, GPS, Google Maps, and still not an ounce of common sense. Andy has swapped his battered old Suzuki for a spanking new Kawasaki GPZ1000RX. Let's ride together as we cross fjords, frozen tundra and high mountain passes to reach the most northern point of Europe.

Witty, poignant and accidentally informative, the story tells of travel in a time long gone, when we read paper maps like pirates on the high seas, and friends were made and lost along roads less travelled. A Fast Bike to North Cape is a hilarious true-life travelogue full of interesting characters, uncomfortable moments, terrible choices, and British humour that will appeal to lovers of Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, and David Sedaris. All the books in the Petrolhead Travelogue series can be listened to in any order.

Memories of this era

I loved the detail and descriptions in this book. It took me back to my own riding in this era. Different times.
