Customer Reviews

a great second adventure - By: Robin Gilbert, 06 Jan 2009
'Lois on the Loose' is a great introduction to what drives this most unusual woman. Having found that a motor bike journey by herself, from Alaska to the bottom of South America is just a start, the next challenge is a similar journey through Africa, as describedin 'Red tape & white knuckles'. Actually this book gains from a more in-depth look at the countries & peoples involved, which are probably less well known to most readers, & the journey itself is shorter though probably much more hazardous. I hear that a journey through Spain could be next on the agenda, & I look forward to further adventures, plus learning something about that large & diverse country, & even something about motorbikes.
What a woman, what an adventure! - By: Matthew Gompertz, 15 Sep 2008
This book will charm you, scare you & grip you like no other! Lois is an adventure biking goddess but if you're not into bikes don't let that put you off. At the heart of this book is an interesting travel story amusingly told. Buy it, you won't be able to put it down!
GREAT TRAVEL ADVENTURE - By: Kevin C. Birkitt, 08 Sep 2008
What a woman !! She does things we only dream of with humor & charm I find this kind of travel writing totaly addictive Funny, frightning, & above all entertaining its about pure travel not some sudo political tour that some writers get hung up about (they seem to have made there mind up about a destination before they got there) not lois she tells it as it is shares her fears & makes her own mind up & above all she remembers that travel is not just about getting the milesin LONG MAY SHE REIGN i will cetainly follow her future exploits who knows we could have a new English female Bill Bryson.

Lois, you're my hero! - By: Nigel G. Marx, 01 Sep 2008
This is the second Lois Pryce book I have bought & read, to add to my large collection of travel books (not all motorcycle travel), & I unable to decide if it is the best or the second best book on my shelf. Either way they are both written by Lois! This book is well named; at times I found myself holding my breath as I turned the pages, wondering what was going to happen next. I'm sure there were indentationsin the covers when I finished.
My good lady is not a travel book or motorcycle fan but she simply devoured both these booksin a day or two each, so I can recommend this book highly to people with a passion for bikes, a passion or adventure travel AND to people without! If Lois can go to these places & do these things by herself, I'm really looking forward to seeing what she & her husband Austin Vince Mondo Enduro: The Ultimate Adventure on Two Wheels - 44,000 Milesin 400 Days can do together. Heaven help us if they ever have kids! Buy it for yourself & leave it laying around for the rest of the family to read. Thanks Lois!
Women Rule! - By: Piet Trompenaars, 22 Aug 2008
Reading Motorcycle travel stories can be addictive.
Only the best are contagious, making me want to ride again.
This one definitely is.

'Lois on the Loose' is a perfect give away present for the (too few) motorcycle women I know, more so because there is a Dutch version.
But now, after reading this second book, I want to spread the bug again & again & again. Will there be a Dutch translation?

I am a fan. Check out her site; loisontheloose.com
