Two Caps on a Motorbike: 7,000 Kilometers, One Honda, and a Very Patient Wife.At 71, most people are looking for a quiet life. Anthony was looking for his helmet.Fresh into retirement, veteran rider Anthony (known to his fans as CrosstourerTony) decided it was time for one last epic odyssey. The goal? To ride from his home in the south of France to the two extreme cardinal points of the Iberian Peninsula: Tarifa, the sun-drenched southern tip of Europe, and Cabo da Roca, the rugged western edge of the continent.But this wasn't just a solo mission against the elements. It was a test of "extreme diplomacy." Anthony had to convince his "darling little wife," Catherine—a woman who prefers a comfortable motorhome to a vibrating pillion seat—to join him on a 7,000-kilometer adventure through deserts, mountains, and rainstorms.Part travelogue, part survival guide, and part comedy of errors, Two Caps on a Motorbike takes you on a raw, authentic journey through the heart of Spain and Portugal.Inside this adventure, you will find:The Biker’s Perspective: From the technical prep of a Honda VFR1200X to the "Swedish Sauna" experience of riding in full rain gear through 30°C heat.The Hidden Iberia: Forget the tourist traps. Follow Anthony through the limestone walls of the Gorges de Galamus, the "Wild West" badlands of the Bardenas Reales desert, and the legendary N2—Europe’s answer to Route 66.The Wife’s Tale: Discover what it’s really like to be the "fearful" passenger on a 500kg beast, navigating slippery cobblestone mountain passes and "cow calling card" manure slicks in the Pyrenees.Real-World Biking: Candid stories of "Camel Saliva" desserts, trucker hotels with five-star meals, the camaraderie of meeting fellow Guzzi riders at remote fuel stations, and the constant battle with a "plastic friend" (the GPS) that has a mind of its own."I hope you enjoy reading our adventure stories as much as we enjoyed riding them. Ride safe and ride your dream."Whether you are a lifelong rider looking for inspiration for your next tour, or a "comfort-zone" traveler curious about the world of long-distance motorcycling, this book is a testament to the fact that adventure has no age limit.Join Anthony and the Wife today.
