A great tale of true adventure that's also a fascinating snapshot of America in the early 1920s. The author, a British WWI vet, has a great self-deprecating wit, and is a keen observer of Yanks in their native habitat. One part Ted Simon, one part Alastair Cook, and a heaping spoonful of Bertie Wooster, Shepherd is admittedly clueless about motorcycle mechanics, eloquently hateful of bad roads, and exceptionally fond of ice cream. I wish all travel books were this delightful.
