Wow - Thanks for all the suggestions. My reading list for the year is starting to take shape. Would still love to hear about any others.

My Harley Davidson travel book may interest you. It's just been published in the U.S. and is my account of riding in the South West and what I found out there in small town America.

I got into trouble once on here with the moderators on the this forum for promoting it so I can't give you the title but if you look up Tim Watson on Amazon you should be able to find it.
