Review: Beyond Bucharest Updated: 06/01/2010
We get inundated with books in the office but this one kept me enthralled. Written by former bike journo, Bob Goddard it covers a road trip by nervous grandparents, Bob and wife Viv, as they ride across 12 countries to visit a child they sponsor as part of the Every Child Organisation. Along the way they suffer the infamous Road To Hell and the City of Nightmares among other trials and tribulations. Proceeds from the £9.95 book go to www.everychild.org.uk and to order a copy visit www.timbuktu-publishing.co.uk

Motorcycle Adventure Travel - by Bob Goddard
Beyond Bucharest
2 motorbikes, 12 countries, 16 borders...
and one helluva tale to tell!
It sounded simple enough: emulate their screen heroes by riding motorbikes to Eastern Europe in aid of a children's charity. But Bob & Viv Goddard were nervous grandparents, not fit youngsters on sponsored bikes with a back-up crew.
Their ride to Bucharest and beyond, across twelve countries and sixteen border crossings, through storm, flood and tempest, was almost a challenge too far...
Ride with them along the Road to Hell, into the City of Nightmares and through the Valley of Death. Okay, that last one might be stretching the truth just a tad.
Join them for an inadvertent night in a brothel. Laugh with them at the absurdities of life on the road. Hop on board for the adventure of a lifetime... and hold on tight!
Beyond Bucharest costs £9.95 in bookshops or just £7.00 ordered direct from us on this website, including p&p to UK addresses - and all the author's royalties from the sale go to UK charity EveryChild. For overseas orders it costs £9 airmail to Europe or £11 airmail to the rest of the world.

Dear Bob & Viv,
Just wanted to say thanks for
such a great book. I really enjoyed your exploits across Europe and
laughed many times at the hilarious situations you encountered along
the way. It was as good as, if not better than, "Land of the long wild road". Thank you again for a good read and I shall support Everychild. Regards , Richard Ranson

Book Extract...
It's mid-summer in Romania and I'm about to die.
Storm force winds are shrieking between the lampposts and lashing me with horizontal rain-bullets as I struggle to control my heavily-laden Honda Varadero motorcycle over broken cobbles. I'm on my way into Bucharest city centre and wishing I was anywhere else.
Surrounded by suicidally-impatient drivers who are nudging my bike with their bumpers, and dodging un-fenced road works trenches full of swirling brown floodwater, I think things can't get any worse. Then I see they most definitely can…
Putting Smiles On Faces...
Happy Kids - proof that the EveryChild charity is making a difference in Eastern Europe and beyond.
