For an important perspective, let’s put three things straight into the conversation about The Tom Report. The first is that the author and his travel pal, Al, were 24 years old when they set off in search of adventure through the Americas. Second, this is a book about the modern era of international motorcycle travel. And third, they are incredibly social guys, and Tom is open and honest with his writing. This combination makes for some pushed-to-the-limits, smile-cracking tales.

The story kicks off as the boys approach their college years, deciding that university is not the direction to go, and that life with further education, a career, and all that’s involved can come later. Instead, they head for Alaska to work all hours possible in order to finance an RTW motorcycle adventure. Much respect to them for this. They are living proof that if you dream of travel, you can make it happen.
