{"product_id":"9780730445739_twisting-throttle-australia","title":"Twisting Throttle Australia","description":"The witty tale of a real life mid-life crisis which took an ordinary Kiwi bloke around Australia on a motorbike, to fulfil his life-long Easy Rider inspired dreams of his long-lost youth.\u003cbr\u003e the result is a very dry look at the Big Dry Country told with self-deprecating wit by a first time author. A large market has been established for blokes on bikes doing things to recapture their long lost youth, following the exploits of multi-millionaire Gareth Morgan and his friends, who go to exotic places on luxury bikes. Mike's endearing and funny tale is at the other end of the scale - the ordinary bloke doing it on the modest bike and smell of an oily rag - with some wonderfully seat of the pants escapades along the way.A naturally funny man, Mike pokes fun at himself and Aussies in an equally merciless way, providing a travel book with a real heart and a real difference. Definitely a book for every middle-aged man you know - and their wives! Since his trip Mike has been speaking to a large number of bike clubs in the South Island and will be using these contacts to help promote the book.","brand":"Mike Hyde","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46908366160021,"sku":"9780730445739","price":10.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780730445739_2e79f6af-c8a9-4c25-8c1c-558b5515d309.jpg?v=1776889962","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780730445739_twisting-throttle-australia","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
