The year is 1919 and Charles Kenilworth ("C.K.") Shepherd, a former British Royal Air Force Captain and World War I veteran, has decided to travel to the United States to see the country from the back of a brand new Henderson 4-cylinder motorcycle. In this accounting of his adventures across the country, he has "endeavored to portray America and Americans exactly as I found them and as they appealed to me" in this "narrative of quite an ordinary, unaspiring, British motorcyclist". - Summary by Barry Eads

As an English man living in the USA in a house and hamlet created at this time I get a new perspective of life here at that time

It's hard to believe that a person would set out on such a trip with the roads as bad as they were. tires that were considerably thinner and were very prone to blowing out. We all feel pretty vulnerable when we go out across desert landscape now so I just can't imagine how daunting that would be on that kind of motorcycle with that decade.

I got to chapter 14. After that it won't work.
