STEEL SUNSHINE has 422 full colour pages and 117 images. It is a raw, adrenaline-fuelled memoir that chronicles one man’s audacious journey through Southeast Asia in 1994—long before the days of YouTube, GoPros, and budget travel. Armed with nothing but grit and a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, he rides over 5,000 kilometres through lands where carrying a camera meant navigating a quagmire of bureaucracy, corruption, suspicion, and real danger.From the lush jungles of Sumatra to the neon-lit chaos of Bangkok, he faces mechanical breakdowns, corrupt officials, and unforgiving elements. Yet amid the madness, he discovers unexpected camaraderie in the global brotherhood of motorcycle riders—kindred spirits whose generosity and sense of adventure light the way through even the darkest moments.This isn’t just a story about the ride. It’s about the untamed beauty of diverse cultures; the wild highs of rock ‘n’ roll parties, the sting of betrayal, and the soul-deep revelations that come from diving headfirst into the unknown.For anyone who’s ever dreamed of adventure in its rawest, most unfiltered form, Steel Sunshine will ignite your wanderlust and prove why the road less travelled is always the most rewarding.Steel Sunshine is the story of one man’s dream—to ride his Harley-Davidson Fat Boy on an epic journey from Bali to Bangkok.
