  • No GPS. No Google. No plan.
    Just a bloke, a bike, and the Iron Curtain.

    In 1986, Andy set off from England to Istanbul on a battered Suzuki GS1000G—with only a paper map, a leaky tent, and a wildly misplaced sense of confidence.

    What followed was a solo ride across Soviet Europe:
    🚧 Armed border guards
    🐴 Dead horses
    🏍️ Mechanical mayhem
    😊 Friendly locals
    🧭 And the kind of bad decisions only a 20-something can make without a smartphone

    A Fast Bike to Byzantium is a funny, gritty, and surprisingly moving Cold War motorcycle travel memoir—perfect for fans of Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, and real-life road trips gone sideways.

    “One of the best motorcycle travel books I’ve read.”
    “This guy is crackers—in the best possible way.”

    Available in paperback, eBook & audiobook.

    Part of the Petrolhead Travelogue series—books can be read in any order.
