Simon Gandolfi and other Solo Rides

This episode...it was a great pleasure to speak with British rider/author Simon Gandolfi. Gandolfi recently published "Old Man On a Bike," It is the account of a 73 year old man's journey from one end of South America to the other and back. Unfortunately, the book is not available in the US, but can be ordered directly from Gandolfi's website.

Another thing that came our way recently was a copy of "Riding Solo to the Top of the World." A most extraordinary film by Indian filmaker Gaurav Jani.

Upcoming Treats on Road Show

One of the most exciting things to come in Road Show's direction lately an e-mail from the producers of Dirt Track Productions. These guys and gals, with no film crew save themselves, have produced some of the most compelling travel video that has come our way in a long time.
I am not clear on on the details of the route, but apparently they took a route which does not exist. (More on that to come). They are sending me a review copy of their latest video which I am most anxious to see and will be reporting on in Blubrry player!">Road Show Podcast as soon as it becomes available.
I am also waiting on a reply from Simon Gandolfi regarding an interview and and hopeful that will come to pass. If not I will be sure to publish a review of his latest book "Old Man on a Bike," as soon as I receive the book from Amazon.uk.

On another note their has been some musical activity at Road Show Central
One of my cohorts and partner in crime at MMI had our first jam session last Saturday. Dave is a veteran of the Texas blues scene and has an impressive array of harps and vintage gear. In terms of jamming on the blues both of our chops were a bit rusty so the recordings of our first sessions were not really worth sharing, but listening back to the audio files I am encourged that their will be much to share in the future.

BMWeerman also working out the rust on the old blues chops



OK so maybe a little WD40 would be good for both of us

Well, being that as it may, keep your eyes peeled because I just came across a treasure trove of info on the latest in Arizona motorcycling which I will be sharing with you on the next podcast on blog.

In the meantime keep listening and check out Road Show Magazine because the Wrench Wench is back at it after a rather long absence.
