Title: Chasing Che
Subtitle: a motorcycle journey in search of the Guevara legend
Description: "Armed with little more than a notebook, a copy of Che's book, and a few extra spark plugs, Patrick Symmes sets off on his BMW R80 G/S in search of the people and places encountered by Che. And a new adventure of man and motorcycle begins: a wanderer's quest for food, shelter, and wisdom. Symmes runs out of gas in an Argentine desert, wipes out in the Andes, and drinks himself blind with Che's travel partner, Alberto Grando, in Cuba.

Here, too, is the portrait of a continent whose dreams of utopia give birth to not only freedom fighters, but tyrants whose methods include torture and mass murder."--BOOK JACKET.
