Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Twisting Throttle Australia By Mike Hyde. Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, Auckland. Good softback, some creasing, tanning to edges, minor marks, ffep removed, no inscriptions. The result is a very dry look at the Big Dry Country told with self-deprecating wit by a first time author. A large market has been established for blokes on bikes doing things to recapture their long lost youth, following the exploits of multi-millionaire Gareth Morgan and his friends, who go to exotic places on luxury bikes. Mike's endearing and funny tale is at the other end of the scale - the ordinary bloke doing it on the modest bike and smell of an oily rag - with some wonderfully seat of the pants escapades along the way. A naturally funny man, Mike pokes fun at himself and Aussies in an equally merciless way, providing a travel book with a real heart and a real difference. Definitely a book for every middle-aged man you know - and their wives! Since his trip Mike has been speaking to a large number of bike clubs in the South Island and will be using these contacts to help promote the book. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Twisting Throttle New ­Zealand By Mike Hyde. Publisher: HarperCollinsPublishers, Auckland, 2013, first edition. Near new softback, small crease and minor edge-wear, no inscriptions. When you find yourself alone on the Molesworth, despite knowing that a 4WD or two will soon happen along, there is a strange sense of isolation and a dawning appreciation that if you suffer a puncture or a mechanical hiccup, then your name had better be MacGyver. Twisting Throttle is back. Exhausted from circumnavigations of Australia and America, Mike Hyde saddles up to explore his own back yard. And what a back yard! Twisting Throttle New Zealand showcases Mike's top 50 motorcycle rides in the Land of the Long White Cloud from Ninety Mile Beach to the Catlins. Whether you're a Kiwi with a bike in the garage or an overseas visitor renting a motorcycle, this book will show you where the best biking roads are: road touring and adventure rides, North Island and South Island. 264 pages, illustrated.
