'At 16,000 miles, it was the worlds longest road: a road on which travellers faced being kidnapped and murdered by Colombian drug barons, buried under Peruvian avalanches, drowned by the Guatemalan rainy season, fleeced by eight-year-old Ecuadorian border touts, driven mad by blackflies in the Yukon, eaten by Alaskan grizzlies and, worst of all, limited to a glass of Chardonnay a day in California.

Then its about time I wrote one, I thought.Biker Geoff Hill heads off into the sunset, this time aboard a trusty Triumph.
