Bill De Garis

Foo Foo Rider Bill De Garis

This is my autobiography.
If you ever wondered what crazy things other people get up to here's a good place to start your research.
Featuring...
* Why you should never ask me to play the drums.
* Half way round the world on a 250cc Jawa.
* Across the Sahara and through darkest Africa with two friends on their honeymoon - in a nine year old Morris Isis with 4 inches of ground clearance running on bald tyres nicked from rubbish dumps around London. (They don't write adventures like that any more!)
* How to 'ride' your motorcycle up Mt Kilimanjaro.
* How to escape being hacked to death by a panga gang wearing only your underpants.

From the back cover...
It's been a long road and there have been many wrong turns.
But there are some wonderful moments hidden away, mostly in Africa.
Trail rides on my own into the complete unknown, or shared with friends.
Too bad Africa had to end.
I remember the friends I've made and those I've lost.
But as we grow older everything
is lost and everyone.
In the end.
