Jupiters Travels: Four Years Around the World on a Triumph

Jupiters Travel tells the story of Ted Simon's four-year journey around the world on a Triumph motorcycle. In four years he covered 78,000 miles through 45 countries, living with peasants and presidents, in prisons and palaces, through wars and revolutions. The first half of the journey took him the length of Africa, from Tunis to Capetown, then around South America from the tip of Brazil to the Argentine Pampas and from Chile north through Panama to California. Then he rode around Australia, and from Singapore overland to Europe through India, Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey.
