Incredible Africa with Sam Manicom at Adventure Motorsports of NWF
Sam Manicom rode around the world for 8 years and is now the author of 4 acclaimed motorcycle travel books.
Sam will be talking about his journey through the first continent of his adventures. Africa. His multi-media presentation is going to take you the length of what is known as the ‘Dark Continent’, but in fact is a land full of the unexpected.
Sam says, ‘Africa is a continent that could easily be considered to be motorcycle paradise. It has everything a big trip should have. Stunning and ever changing landscapes, roads that range from gnarly dirt tracks and desert sands to beaten up single lane asphalt that’s so pockmarked by potholes that you’ll be practising your slalom technique, to roads that meander through mountain ranges where around every corner is a landscape that has you wanting to stop and take it all in.’
Sam is a self-professed disaster magnet and you’ll find out that there are plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong; sometimes badly so. Sam talks about those times and how he dealt with them, and how many of those ‘moments’ turned into some of the best adventures a motorcycle traveller could have.
He will introduce you to the people, the cultures and has some real surprises in store for you. Whether you are dreaming about a big trip through this incredible continent, or love the idea of sitting back and listening to tales of the road, this evening with Sam will keep you entertained, and perhaps inspired…
Sam will have copies of his books with him and will be book signing before and after the presentation.
