Reader Comments

“Written in the style of a daily journal, the book is an easy read. Untamed Spirit – Around the World on a Motorcycle, serves as a courageous inspiration for women and proves that with the right mindset, mere mortals can accomplish great feats.”

Tim Yip, Edmonton Journal

“I loved your book and am so inspired by what you did! I am one month older than you and I love that you followed your dream.” Harv and Darlene

“I am just finishing your first book and could hardly put it down. You donated your book to our library and I have enjoyed it immensely.” Georgie

“Well it happened again – I put book #2 on my night table and ‘hoarded’ it as long as I could, but finally couldn’t stand it any longer and started it the other night. As I knew would happen, I stayed awake LONG after my bedtime a couple of nights in a row and finished it this morning. It is excellent!! Doris, and I love the photos you included.” Kathryn

“I bought your book and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the trip and sharing your experiences.” Heather

“I’ve just finished reading your first book and am now anxiously awaiting the second. I have quite a collection of motorcycle travel books and yours certainly ranks right up there with the best I have read so far.” Ian

“This was the very first book I have ever read from front to back, I am 38 years old. This book was absolutely awesome and I was just wondering when I will be able to purchase the second book?” Scott

“I have to tell you Doris, I read your book in 2 evenings. Could not put it down. Even though I read of our travels as you were on them & I was familiar with the stories. Awesome. Now I have to wait for book two – Ho hum.” Colleen

“Just finished your first book & luv’d it – looking forward to the next.” Patrick

“I think you are a very courageous woman. Thanks for making the effort to write down your adventure so that some of the rest of us can enjoy the experiences vicariously and perhaps face the world a little more bravely ourselves.” Dennis

“Much to my surprise, my wife didn’t give me your book for Christmas. She kept it for herself. I just finished reading it, though, and found it hard to put down.” Dennis

p.s. “You know you have a third book hidden in there don’t you? I’d like to know about the Dutch, German, Swiss and other “displaced” folks you met who had made their new homes in the Asian Pacific. They all must have a story to tell.”

“I just finished reading your book. It was a great read and I am looking forward to the next one.” Albert

“I am most impressed with your tour, your strength and character. I am just about to start book two. The dream of a lifetime indeed.” Jean

“I remember book 1 as an engrossing read, and it is proving to be just that, even the second time around.” Pete

“Just finished reading both your books! What a wonderful adventure you had! It’s a great read, very inspiring and I consider myself a seasoned traveler (backpacker). It was a page turner for sure.” Dan

“I just finished reading your 2^nd addition of Untamed Spirit. Your books are truly an inspiration and make me want to see so much more of the world.” Gordon & Julie

“I just finished your books and enjoyed them thoroughly. I admire your courage. I have thought about a journey like yours for some time and have come to realize that it is time to implement a plan.” Cal

“Is your second book available yet? I have read the first half of your motorcycle journey around the world and awaiting the second half.” Kai

“I’m inquiring about your second book – the untamed spirit (with the big hand on the cover). Someone had purchased book No.1 for me, and I really enjoyed it. Could you let me know when the second book will be out?” Terri

“I want to thank you again for your excellent presentation that covered part of your round the world trip.  This inspires all of us to try new things or do things we may think we cannot do.  We would love to have you back again in the fall; after riding season.”

Bill Hoar, President CAVMG (Central Alberta Vintage Motorcycle Group).
