In Search of Greener Grass

Riding from Reality towards Dreams and Finding Fulfillment

By: Graham Field

Narrated by: Graham Field

“Well, now I’m committed,” he thought to himself after telling a national TV game show audience that he wanted to ride a motorcycle to Mongolia with his winnings. He felt the fear that commitment always induced in him; he was hoping they might have edited that bit out. Commitments are something he tried to get as far away from as possible, the only other constants in his life being twenty-five years of financial prudence, travel and motorcycle obsession.So there he was, committed to going very, very far on a motorcycle with his meager prize money. Consequently, he spent a winter on eBay and a spring in the garage preparing his $1000 KLR 650 for an uncertain life on the road. Armed with a cynical humor, a strong sense of direction, a vague sense of balance, and no sense of proportion, he embarked on a 15,000-mile solo motorcycle ride to see what would break first; bike, body, or budget. Leaving an indifferent existence in England behind he headed east, looking for purpose, a new life, and a new location to live it. He was in search of greener grass.

Go on an adventure with Graham and his KLR

loved it! I had a great time listening to Grahams adventure. Looking forward to the next book.

Very much enjoyed this book.

I'm a fan of the Sam Manicom motorcycle travel books and feel like this is a similar type of book. The descriptions paint a vivid picture of what it was really like to travel by motorcycle. I like that the book is read by the author. The accent is occasionally challenging for my American ears but I was able to understand everything...I think.

This will likely be one of the few books that I listen to a 2nd or 3rd time....as I have also done with the Manicom books.

Here's a vote for more motorcycle travel books coming to Audible.

Good travel stories. Real personal experiences

I liked the way he talked through his feelings and explained his frustrations but still looked on the bright side. As a fellow rider I feel his pain and joy.

Love the story, not the narration !

Have read so many great reviews of the book could not wait to read it ! Found it on Audible and added to the narration to my kindle purchase. Graham does not sound like a happy person as he narrates his book. It is a little irritating. Listened to bits and pieces of different sections and it all seems to be read the same.

Witty, Sarcastic, idiotic

Graham Field does a great job giving voice to his book, In Search of Green Grass. My only complaint is I enjoyed it too quickly.
