Ted Simon
	"Best to all the other apples in the barrel" ~~ Ted Simon

Ted Simon is a British journalist born in Germany. In late 1973, Simon began travelling around the world on a Triumph Tiger 500 cc motorcycle. For four years he travelled over 78,000 miles (126,000 km) through 45 countries. Most accounts from his trip are detailed in his book, Jupiter's Travels,while some of the books gaps are filled in its second part, the book "Riding High". His book later inspired the actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman in their journey from London to New York on motorcycles (Long Way Round), where they actually met Simon in Mongolia. In 2001 Simon started a new journey that roughly followed the same route as his 1973 trip. He was around 70 years old at that time and completed the journey in 3 years. His new book, detailing this journey, was released in March 2007 and is entitled: Dreaming of Jupiter.
The Road-Apples were very proud to have Mr. Simon come up and visit us, and put on a presentation about his works and sign autographs. You can find details here.
