Charley Boorman to appear at Sydney Motorcycle Show - Motorbikes Reviews, News & Advice

Author and film star Charley Boorman will visit the Sydney Motorcycle Show on Sunday, November 22 to promote his newest book, Right to the Edge: Sydney to Tokyo By Any Means.

Boorman tells the story of an epic adventure, covering three continents using any mode of local transport available.

ATVs, motorcycles (both electric and petrol), hovercrafts and paragliders, among other modes of transport, were used in the journey, which began in Sydney and weaved its way through Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, the Philippines and Taiwan before finishing in Japan.

The Irish-born star is well-known for his adventures alongside Ewan McGregor, which were documented in print and via a popular television series. In 2006, Boorman penned another best-seller, Race to Dakar, a typically humorous and entertaining insight into his Dakar rally journey.

Boorman will appear on stage at the Sydney Motorcycle as part of a podcast panel from 12.30pm on November 22. Following the podcast, Boorman will sign copies of his book.

"Charley is a very unique character and we're certain visitors will delight in hearing accounts of his many adventures first-hand," said event manager Mark Petersen. "The experiences from his newest title began here in Sydney before heading north throughout a number of countries, so it's fitting he is back here to launch the book to a local audience."

Doors to Australia's largest and most comprehensive showcase of new motorcycles and related products and services open at 10.00am each morning, from November 20-22.
