Honduras

Parque Central is definitely the center of town. Men, women and children line the benches and walkways to sit in the shade and people watch.

There is a heavy police presence in Tegucigalpa. This old man is a retired police officer, but he still helps control the traffic for this one intersection.

I had to stop for some dunkin donuts, a little taste of home. However they didn´t understand "medium regulaaah".

Tom is an american who owns the Tabacco Road Inn, one of the only hostels in Tegucigalpa. He rides a dirtbike and took me for a ride up to La Tigra national park.

The windy, dirt road up to La Tigra is a beautiful ride. It´s amazing how quickly you can go from dense, city streets to open, pine forest.

I kept the moto inside Tabacco Road at night and it involved a two stair obstacle, always good photo ops.

Motorcycling the magnificent landscapes of Mexico, the USA and Canada.
'Sam Manicoms new book! is a gripping rollercoaster of a two-wheeled journey which takes you riding across some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. This enticing tale has more twists and turns than a Rocky Mountain Pass and more surprises than anyone would expect in a lifetime. There are canyons, cowboys, idyllic beaches, bears, mountains, Californian vineyards, gun-toting policemen with grudges, glaciers, exploding volcanoes, dodgy border crossings and some of the most stunning open roads that a traveller could ever wish to see.
