| FASTEST
MAN AROUND THE WORLD -
The Book |
'There are two journeys
in this book. One is the astonishing physical feat
of circumnavigating the globe on a Triumph motorcycle
faster than anyone before, a story of intense hardship
and fatigue in the face of daunting barriers and
overwhelming odds. The second is an extension into
the mind, where Nick's ability to skim the superfluous
and seize on the significant, opens fascinating
doors into the human condition. There are insights
here which apply to us all and not just such driven
adventurers as Nick. There is too a deep irony underlying
this book, which documents Nick racing around the
world to find out why he is racing around the world.
It's this multi-layered narrative, so incisively
written, which makes Fastest Man Around the World
such a compelling read.'

| LONELINESS
OF THE LONG DISTANCE BIKER -
The Book |
'Loneliness of the Long Distance
Biker' is the first volume of Nick's memoirs that begins
to tell his tale. Based on his travels in 2004 it refers
back to autobiographical elements of his life that throw
light onto why he has become an icon in his field. It
could also be seen as a love story. It is a story about
his family and his loves. It's about life on the road
that stretched for thousands of miles; months that turned
into years. It is a story about an ordinary man who tried
to do something different with his life'

| JOURNEY
BEYOND REASON -
The Book |
'Journey Beyond Reason' is
not a simple literal narration of how Nick rode his R1
on a
20 000 mile journey, it deals equally with the philosophical
and psychological emotions that are needed in order for
the journey to become what it is; the fastest solo circumnavigation
ever undertaken on a motorcycle. With some standard narration
in the style of 'Jupiter's Travels' there are also philosophical
thoughts not dissimilar to 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance'.

| BIKER
BRITAIN - The
Book |
|
'Biker Britain is about a
sport and hobby that goes beyond ordinary. It is not
encyclopaedic and makes no defining statement, but the
subject matter celebrates the most amazing heroes as
well as devoted day to day bikers alike.
World Championship characters such as Robert Dunlop,
Cameron Donald, Michael Rutter and Niall MacKenzie tell
their stories as do former world beaters Sammy Miller
and Phil Read. Great Wall of Death showmen stand alongside
contemporary stunt riders, whilst next to them, urban
Streetfight riding personifies the motorcyclist as anarchist.
Racing along small country roads some of the most talented
sportsmen alive scream by at speeds approaching 200mph
with a way of riding that compares in beauty with slow
rides over the most charming mountain passes in the
world.
Along with superb contributions from some of the most
respected writers in British biking journalism, covering
important historical occasions, Nick Sanders's original
text alongside Dave Hindley's photos provide a magnificent
insight into what is a hugely rich and fanatical way
of life.'

| TIMBUKTU
- In Search of the Dakar Rally and Timbuktu
- The Book |
"This is a travel book
with a difference. A story told by a man who has travelled
widely and who thinks and reads expansively."
'A journey told like no other by one of the world's greatest
endurance motorcyclists, In Search of the Dakar Rally
and Timbuktu is essential reading for those who have ever
considered leaving their comfort zone. For Sanders the
journey was a fusion of two ideas: one, to journey across
Africa to Timbuktu by motorcycle with a group of riders,
the other to follow a highly competitive race across the
Sahara Desert, an adventure replete with contradictions,
once known as Paris-Dakar.'
"The mysticism by our destination is suggested in
an old Sudanese proverb, which says: "salt comes
from the north, gold from the south, and silver from the
country of the white man, but the word of God and the
treasures of wisdom are only to be found in Timbuktu."
