Synopsis

15,000 miles to Mongolia and beyond, alone on a motorcycle with no support, no sponsorship, no privileges, no clue and a £750 eBay purchased motorbike.A journey of misjudgement that failed to stop at its destination, made even more challenging due to the money he didn’twin on a TV game show.This is the book he should have read before he left home.From the first page you’re drawn into the journey, soon holding your head in despair with the struggles and disastrous decisions. Pausing at the inspirational epiphanies, then laughing out loud at the caustic comments and biting observations, as you ride with him wondering: What would break first: bike, body or budget?An insightful and brutally honest diary of a down to earth compulsive traveller, lifelong biker, and a compelling story teller with a dry cynical wit.This gritty no-frills budget adventure has inspired many to hit the road and chase their dreams.Grab your atlas as you explore far flung places like:Lviv, UkraineDagestanAtyrau, KazakhstanLake Baikal, RussiaUlgii, MongolaiSpassk-Dalny, SiberiaGangneung, South KoreaColchester, Essex
Generally regarded as one of the archetypal motorcycle travel adventure books, up there with Jupiter’s Travels, yet still a long way from the better known and more controversial celebrity journeys.An easy reading, page turning tale of road learnt wisdom and a life time of anecdotes.

Goodreads review by Paul

I just finished In Search of Greener Grass. I love the honest and raw take on overland motorcycle travel, and Graham's humor throughout the book. Often times authors only focus on the good things that happen throughout a trip and quickly gloss over the things that do not go so well, or go outright b......more

I think a person that is or is not a motorcyclist would enjoy this book The author lets you see his real feeling about his journey and those he meets.

Goodreads review by Chris

Suffers a bit from the "I went here and did this, then I went there and did that" style of travel writing. Although the places Graham went and things he did there were interesting to read, the narrative is restricted by chronology so his ideas never fully come to fruition.......more
