Description
Jupiter's Travels is the remarkable story of Ted Simon's 4-year motorbike journey around the world. Between 1974 and 1978, Simon rode 63,000 miles over four years through 54 countries, facing numerous challenges and adventures along the way.
From breakdowns and prison sentences to war, revolutions, and a Californian commune, Simon's journey was a true test of endurance and courage. He met a wide range of people, from bikers to locals, and was treated as a spy, a welcome stranger, or even a god.
This book, first published in 1980, has become a seminal work of travel writing, inspiring countless others to embark on their own adventures. With its unique blend of humour, honesty, and passion, Jupiter's Travels is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves travel, motorcycles, or just a good story.
