Being forced at home can also have advantages. In addition to staying with their family – ok, maybe it's not always an advantage! – We try to see the positive side. Although we do not use the bike we can resort to balm of reading and soothe so our dependence with motorcycle erudition doses.
As I said in this appeal It is important in these days exposed to the least possible risks not only to the contagion but also ending up in hospital for trivial reasons. The structures are already in trouble, we try to help those who are working so hard for the health of everyone.
We are responsible: cooperate and follow the instructions.
Then, we stay at home. Yeah, but do? When we are gripped by the itching of the bike we can do different things, I can think on the fly some chance that you can find on this site:

- shop the ever travel inspirations of the undersigned. Why not plan their, to do when normalcy is restored, is sifting through itineraries published in this blog It is going fantasy.
The motorcycle reading balm
One of my favorite activities is definitely read. There are excellent books for us motorcycle enthusiasts and I take the liberty of some consigliartene. There are some of the titles that you know well because they are part of the library of every good biker, I've included them it “i 5 Travel books in basic motorcycle“, and maybe it is worth re-reading. I then add the others who may know a little’ or less that would not immediately spring to mind when thinking about the motorcycle but with which, instead, They still have a bond.
Ted Simon e Jupiter
Jupiter's Travels and the success stories of Ted Simon have become classics for all motorcycle racing fans and motorcycle holidays the same way dell'arcinoto “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” Robert Pirsig or “American” Che Guevara. Place them in this list is right and all too obvious: if you still have never read even one starts right “Jupiter's Travels”, because yours is a gap to be filled immediately. Then switch to “Sognando Jupiter: round the world on a motorcycle after thirty years”.
One Man Caravan
I have already spoken in the past of this incredible account of Robert Edison Fulton travel that in 1930 is the first world tour by motorcycle. It takes us to another dimension from which seem light years passed: nearly a century has passed since that company and we are still gaping. So much it has changed since then, but you will be amazed at how many things have remained the same. To read absolutely.
Triumph the art of the motorcycle
Among the many monographs dedicated to one brand, that of Zef Enault and Micheal Levivier dedicated to Triumph worth mentioning. I found discounted at Amazon and worth put in your library because it's a well-made book with pictures and manicured layout.
The king of cool
You say and think about Triumph Steve McQueen: a “The king of cool” and his motorcycle Matt Stone and Dave Ekins dedicated This photo book very nice and interesting.
The Italian motorcycle
Written by Eight Grizzi and Massimo Clarke, “The Italian motorcycle” traces the history of all the companies that have made the Italian motorcycling and divided for decades. Through models, images and anecdotes remind us of where we come and personally I consult often to find that thread that sometimes gets lost. Always useful!
The history of Moto Guzzi
Speaking of Italian brands can not but have an interest and curiosity about the history of Moto Guzzi, on which various events there are some publications of which have found their place in my library. I like the book edited by Puccetti “Moto Guzzi. When the bikes have the soul” which, unfortunately, at the moment it seems to be exhausted. Niente paura, because there is limited “Moto Guzzi from 1921 to date” Mario Colombo and Franco Daudo updated in 2018.
The Tao of the trip
The compendium of Theroux is a must for all travelers regardless of the way they prefer to move, if walking, boat or motorcycle. by having.
Hell’s Angels di Hunter Thompson
Did you know that the inventor of “gonzo journalism”, the most famous mainly for its “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, in 1965 he spent a year as an infiltrator among Hell's Angels living with them, doing just the lifestyle and “the belief” Hell's Angels who at the time terrorized America with their raids and their model.
I'll take you in Bray Hill
The motorcycle dream recounted with shiny romance. This could do and did the great Roberto Patrignani that in his unmissable “I'll take you in Bray Hill” He tells how a middle-aged biker dragged by passion and events you find yourself running to the Tourist Trophy. Beautiful.
Dakar, Hell in the Sahara
The epic and tragedies of great racing in the desert Envoy told that he followed and lived as a reporter. Beppe Donazzan He tells us about the early years of Paris – Dakar through the most emblematic episodes and makes us understand the original spirit and the great sacrifices required by this insane and bloody passion.
These are some tips, but I plan to update and expand this list in the future because I always valid. So keep an eye and occasionally goes over control!
Buona lettura.
