About this audiobook

15,000 miles to Mongolia and beyond, alone on a motorcycle with no support, no sponsorship, no privileges, no clue and a £750 eBay purchased motorbike.

A journey of misjudgement that failed to stop at its destination, made even more challenging due to the money he didn’twin on a TV game show.

This is the book he should have read before he left home.

From the first page you’re drawn into the journey, soon holding your head in despair with the struggles and disastrous decisions. Pausing at the inspirational epiphanies, then laughing out loud at the caustic comments and biting observations, as you ride with him wondering: What would break first: bike, body or budget?

An insightful and brutally honest diary of a down to earth compulsive traveller, lifelong biker, and a compelling story teller with a dry cynical wit.

This gritty no-frills budget adventure has inspired many to hit the road and chase their dreams.

Grab your atlas as you explore far flung places like:

  • Lviv, Ukraine
  • Dagestan
  • Atyrau, Kazakhstan
  • Lake Baikal, Russia
  • Ulgii, Mongolai
  • Spassk-Dalny, Siberia
  • Gangneung, South Korea
  • Colchester, Essex


Generally regarded as one of the archetypal motorcycle travel adventure books, up there with Jupiter’s Travels, yet still a long way from the better known and more controversial celebrity journeys.

An easy reading, page turning tale of road learnt wisdom and a life time of anecdotes.

I just finished In Search of Greener Grass. I love the honest and raw take on overland motorcycle travel, and Graham's humor throughout the book. Often times authors only focus on the good things that happen throughout a trip and quickly gloss over the things that do not go so well, or go outright badly. It is refreshing to hear the emotions Graham goes through when he talks about both the good and bad throughout a trip. He also accurately captures the vastly different types of people that you meet while on the road, from those who are truly out to experience the people and countries they travel through, to those who seem to only travel to "tick the box" to say they have done it, and do not seem interested in what is happening around them. I would definitely recommend In Search of Greener Grass for anyone who loves travel and wants a raw unadulterated look into overland motorcycle travel
