The First Motorcycle Trip
Jail. Hookers. Broke. Not bad elements for my first long trip on a motorcycle. At the time, however, it was quite a different story. There was nothing fun about a broken motorcycle, a cold jail cell, and a sleepless night surrounded by a cage filled with fallen doves who made fun of my riding pal, Brian, and me.
“No motorcycle for you!” My 5-foot-1-inch Quaker mother was adamant about my not buying a motorcycle, and she was backed up by my Marine Corps father, who believed sparing the rod would spoil the child. | A drug. Motorcycles had become a drug addiction by the time I returned to college. More important to me than girls or studying to become a physician, motorcycles moved to the top of my priorities list.
Review
"... when it comes to sheer wanderlust, nobody has it like this man. It's a pleasure to immerse ourselves in the 224 pages and two pounds of heavily illustrated goodness that is this book. This is a fun book, packed with photos, memories and Dr. Frazier's direct and clever writing style. If you like travel writing, it's recommended. If you like Dr. Frazier, it's a must." - City Bike
"Much of this writing is from an eccentric point of view which makes for fascinating reading. Down and Out is a wonderful story loaded with useful advice as well as Greg's trademark irreverent and humorous anecdotes. You're in for a treat." - Adventure Motorcycle
"It's a bench racing festival of learning the ins and outs of round the world touring, something Frazier has done probably more than anyone else on the planet. Since you probably won't ride around the world countless times, get it and live vicariuosly." - SoundRider.com
"If you're familiar with this adventurer's work, then you know that Greg has published many, many, many books. But this particular autobiographical journey is different. It covers a wider spectrum, the entirety of his adventure-bound life from the beginning to the present day. Captivating story line. Good combo of modern and nostalgic photos. The guy makes me jealous." â?? Motorcycle
"I have to say Gregory has outdone himself this time. Liberally illustrated with great photos from around the world, lots of fascinating people, places and stories in Gregory's typical laid back style. Recommended!" - HorizonsUnlimited.com
"Frazier has written something more than a motorcycle travel book. His book reveals as much about him as it does about the long roads he has traveled; maybe even more. The book takes us along on his motorcycle odyssey to the far pavilions; if it can be reached by a motorcycle, he has probably been there, and he may be about the only one who has. Spanning 224 pages, with 300 color and 50 black-and-white images, the book is masterfully edited by Jordan Wiklund and beautifully presented in hard cover." - UltimateMotorcycling.com

Dr. Gregory Frazier is truly 'One Of A Kind'.in more ways than one. He has done & continues to do what most men I know can only dream about doing. From the age of about 13 - 14, I've ridden a two wheeler of some sort, graduating from small to a Harley FLTFX. Longest trip I made was from Miami, Fl up into the northern part of New York State. Dr. Frazier has circles the globe East - West, West - East, North - South & South - North. He writes in a way that the reader is right there with him, in the good times & the bad times as well. This book was written as a 'Coffee Table' book, but it is actuality that & much more. His sense of humor is there in the hard, bad times as well as in the good, fun times. I admire & envy Dr. Frazier for his ability to do what he's done for all these years. The fact he lives to tell his readers & fans of his adventures is testimony to his riding abilities. Dr. Gregory W. Frazier - is my 'American Hero'.......

Very enjoyable read. Now I have to figure out how to have someone else to buy me a better bike and pay for the travel expenses.
