Two for the Road

Roads are for journeys, not destinations.<br /> <br />In 2003 Melbourne couple Shirley Hardy-Rix and her husband Brian Rix fulfilled a lifelong ambition of motorcycling across the world.<br /> <br />In an incredible 350-day journey, they would do everything they&apos;d ever dreamed of as well as getting much more than they&apos;d bargained for. Crossing 27 countries and covering 56,671 kilometres, they raced around the Isle of Man motorcycle circuit on Mad Sunday, survived Iran&apos;s traffic and travelled through Taliban strongholds under armed guard. Shirley and Brian&apos;s story is an epic account of the ups and downs of seeing the world on two wheels – from the frustrations of potholes and flat tyres, to the splendour of some of Europe and Asia&apos;s most awe-inspiring sights.<br /> <br />Full of terrific anecdotes, down-to-earth humour and practical advice, <i>Two for the Road</i> is a must for anyone who&apos;s ever imagined escaping the daily grind to experience the romance of the open road.
