Beschreibungen
The motorcycle adventurer and author of Two Wheels Through Terror delivers a ';spectacular and gripping read' of his solo journey around the world (Friction Zone). In November of 2001, on a motorcycle trip to the tip of South America, Glen Heggstad was kidnapped at gunpoint by Colombian rebels and held captive for five weeks. Yet even after his traumatic incarceration, Glen did what few others wouldfinished his trip. Three years later, frustrated by the climate of fear in a media-saturated world and the resulting stranglehold of self-imposed security in the United States, Glen decided to look for truth on his own termson the back of his motorcycle. Starting in Japan, Glen wound his way through Siberia, Mongolia, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa, stopping in over thirty countries. This was not a tourist's bus tourGlen battled extreme temperatures, knee-deep mud, bureaucratic roadblocks, health problems, and loneliness, but these problems faded to insignificance with the thrill of the open road and the smiling receptions he received from locals and fellow bikers at every turn. With One More Day Everywhere, readers can share Glen Heggstad's vision of a world ungoverned by fear and, like Glen, embrace each experience, with one eye always on the horizon. ';If anyone knows determination, perseverance, agony and terror it is Glen Heggstad. And that motorcycles are fun!' Jimmy Lewis, editor, Cycle World Magazine ';This is a story of extreme travel at its finest.' RoadRunner ';Heggstad manages to illustrate the joys and hardships and benefits and drawbacks of two-wheeled global travel to some of the most difficult places on the planet.' Friction Zone
