Tópico que comecei ler no fórum ADVrider.
Não sei se isto cabe aqui, se não for chutem para outro lado, mas é literatura e da boa.
Inglês acessível num discurso directo que nos coloca em cima da moto ao lado do piloto.

Living the Dos Sertoes Dream - Racing 4,500 km accross Brazil
http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=615329In February, I got a hare-brained idea to ride the Dos Sertoes Rally in Brazil this August.
Boy what an unbelievable 10 days it would prove to be.
With no rally experience and little riding experience apart from a few years of weekend DS riding under my belt, most considered it a little ambitious (read stupid)to be entering the second longest rally in the world. Admittedly, I have done a couple of hectic rides on my 800GS with Mrs. Bluebull on her 650 but that's hardly the experience needed to enter a 4,500km cross country race, the [sup]2[/sup]nd longest in the world after the Dakar. But you have to start somewhere, and years ago someone had told me in Potgietersrust, South Africa that “Pissies will never be heroes”. (A pissie is someone who gets scared easily)
I wasn’t about to be a pissie.(...)"
