To Infinity and Beyond paperback by Stephen E Holmes

Che Guevara's journey through South America in 1952 on a Norton 500 motorcycle is arguably the most famous and important motorcycle journey of all time. His experiences on that journey led him to become a key figure of the Cuban Revolution and one of the greatest aspirational icons of the 20th century. Steve Holmes and Pete Sandford's journey through South America in 2009 is arguably the least known motorcycle journey of all time, but it took them on the same route, through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. Along the way, the pair did battle with some of the most dangerous environments on the planet including the Atacama Desert (the driest place on Earth) and the mighty Amazon River. To make it just a bit tougher they made the trip on authentic period Nortons just like Che's. Che's motorcycle never completed the 5000 mile journey. Would Holmes and Sandford's 60 year old motorcycles survive this epic journey? Holmes and Sandford followed Che's route faithfully and To Infinity and Beyond rewrites the dangerous and exciting adventure 57 years later.
