Carla and Ural with Sidecar
Sorry about the gap in posts, but I've been indisposed. It's always great when a local acquaintance publishes a book, especially when it's about one of my favorite subjects: hitting the road with your motorcycle. I'm known Carla for many years and see her at local travel writing events here in the Bay Area, and followed her motorcycle adventures many Moons ago when she left to explore some of the back roads of the American West. And now, the book.
I'll be going to her booksigning at Get Lost on Market Street later this month, but she's also making appearances elsewhere in the Bay Area and has even lined up a few gigs in Europe. And to think her secret occupation is ....... computer geek.
A journey to explore the borders between the United States, Canada, and Mexico becomes a comedy of breakdowns in small towns all around America in this new travelogue by Carla King, author of the Motorcycle Misadventures series of Internet dispatches. Mechanical, social, and natural disasters punctuate the four-month, ten-thousand mile solo test ride of the newly-imported Russian Ural sidecar motorcycle: cracked welds and electrical gremlins, evil tow truck drivers, roadside romances, even tornadoes and hurricanes.

Hi,
Great article!
I wonder if you would like to post your articles on bikerkiss.com?
Wonderful story. I know many great bikie adventures start down in the southern most state of Australia (Tasmania). It's great motor cycle country with long winding roads and pristine scenery. (see www.knowhowtravel.com.au for photographs, information etc). I've long enjoyed the bike-friendly country in Tasmania. Low traffic and great roads make it a motor cycle's paradise!
Great story.
