Book Description
Robbie Marshall had it all love, children and a successful business. So why did he trade it all in for the saddle of a Triumph Trophy and an out-of-date world atlas? Robbie knew that if he did not indulge his desire to explore, he would regret it for the rest of his life. After shipping his Triumph motorbike to the United States, Robbie kick-started his life on a journey that would take him across five continents and around the globe. Despite witnessing a gangland execution, sleeping rough and getting imprisoned and mugged, Robbie had the time of his life. Triumph Around the World is one hell of a ride
Editorial Reviews
Review
Robbie Marshall is a hero, a man who took his lifestyle and shook it upside down, jumped on a bike and took off. –George Shaw
The story is amazing: I could not help but admire his courage, sheer bloody0mindedness and his soul-searching. An insightful travel essay that flowed easily instead of choking on itself like an engine with carb problems. –Linda Raven Moore, Author of A Little Twist of Texas

About the Author
Robbie always liked to push boundaries and this journey gave him the opportunity to pull together three of his passions. The urge to travel, his motorbike, and the chance to cross paths with strangers in new places compelled him to go out into the world to seek adventure. Never one to live sedately, Robbie enjoyed brief spells of activities and when the excitement dulled he would look for the next challenge. He felt that life was about facing fears and placing oneself firmly in the path of adversity, just for the hell of it.
