Motorcycle Diaries?? Take time to read Ghost Rider by Neil Peart. Drummer for Canada's most sucessful Rock and Roll band "RUSH" . An account of his motorcycle trip experiences down what he calls the "Healing Road". A trip he took from Canada to Alaska, down the American west coast to Belize, back up the East coast returning to Canada. A trip that was necessary to discover himself again and the fool he used to be, after his daughter was killed in a car accident and subsequently his wife's death due to cancer, which he honestly feels was from a broken heart. You want Motorcycle Diaries?? This book tops the list.
