Riding Raw by Sue Hollis

March 1, 2020 by DaveLeave a Comment

High powered and very successful business woman, Sue Hollis boasts a list of achievements including running a multi-million dollar company and along the way being voted one of Australia’s Top 10 Women Entrepreneurs. Finding her self soulless, feeling empty and enduring physical ailments because of her significant workload – she seeks an escape. Walking away from her old life, she plans an epic road trip on the other side of the world – in North America.

This is an intriguing read for armchair travelers – Sue does all the ‘work’ for you and reports back with an exciting combination of experiences and personal life reflections based on a motorcycle journey of 21,000 kilometers and nearly 3 months of travel. She has written about the road adventure of a lifetime. Her journey is from the seat of the world’s fastest production bike, a BMW S1000RR she named Voodoo.

She sets out to see the western part of Canada and the USA – from Whistler down to Arizona and back up to the Canadian Rockies and finally returning to Whistler. This is a journey of self exploration both internally and externally and an excellent read especially for those who try to control their lives down to exact details – a journey that makes one realize it is OK in letting go and not being in control of every situation.

She learns that on the road it doesn’t matter who you are or what your accomplishments are in life – rather it is the friendships created, the help received during the hardships of the journey and the process of overcoming one’s fear of the unknown.

A gripping story from start to finish.
