"A compelling narrative that moves, sometimes
at breakneck speed, over some of the worlds most beautiful and mysterious
terrain . . . packed with fascinating detail, splendid characterizations
and hair-raising adventures."
Boston Globe
"Extremely readable, full of keen observation, perceptive
insight ... conveying action, drama, tension and danger."
Los Angeles Times
"Vivid description of driving under conditions that were
often ferocious . . . diverting little stories about unusual people and
exotic places."
New York Times
"book that brims with sudden hilarity"
The New Internationalist
"I salute Ted Simon, as one lowly motorcyclist to a truly
magnificent one, who if not exactly Jupiter, has certainly given Pegasus
(that snorting steed of inspiration) a most memorable outing around the
earthly track."
The Times, Richard Holmes
"An outstanding travel book. Brilliant and absorbing."
The Liverpool Daily Post
"His vivid and moving account ... is written with an engaging
mixture of modest self-criticism and amazed pride. "
Sunday Times
"Possibly the best motorcycle travel book ever written."
Motorcycle Sport
"There are books about travel on a motorcycle, and then
there's Jupiter's Travels. For me, there is no comparison. There will never
be another journey so well described."
Street Bike, Alex Lloyd
"If you haven't read Ted Simon's vivid, lively, metaphorical
account of his four-year adventure ... by all means take the plunge."
Rider, Mark Tuttle,
