Book One in the motorcycle travel books - "The Petrolhead Travelogues." 
 
Looking for a gift that’s actually memorable?
Not something that gets opened… then forgotten.
Something they’ll read, laugh at, and talk about long after.
 
The year is 1986. The destination: Istanbul.
No smartphones. No GPS. No Google Maps… and not a single ounce of common sense.
What follows is a chaotic, funny, and unforgettable ride across Europe — through the Iron Curtain and towards the edge of Asia — on a battered old Suzuki and a questionable plan.
 
A Fast Bike to Byzantium is a true-life travel adventure from a world now lost — when maps were paper, borders meant something, and the best stories came from the worst decisions.
Warm, witty, and sharply observed, it’s packed with:
unforgettable characters
uncomfortable moments
near misses and poor choices
and a distinctly British sense of humour
Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, and real, unfiltered travel writing.
 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“One of the better motorcycle travel books I’ve read.”
 
 
🎁 A unique gift for travellers, and adventurers
