edit data

Michèle Harrison was born in France in 1964 to American parents and at the age of 13 moved to London, where she has stayed, more or less, ever since. Travel has always been a big part of her life: she has spent a few years in northern California, a year in Egypt, a year in India and the odd weeks, or months, here and there. She now shares her time between the French Alps and London.

Quotes by Michele Harrison (?)

“The journey was uneventful (apart from a bulldozer reversing into my bike and ripping apart my luggage).”
― Michele Harrison, All the Gear, No Idea: A woman's solo motorcycle journey around the Indian subcontinent

0 likes

“It was reading Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance that did it. In it, the author explains that there are two types of people: the romantics (the Zen part of the title) and the classics (the motorcycle maintenance part of the title). Romantics are interested in the pleasure of riding a bike, while classics are interested in the pleasure of understanding how the bike works.”
― Michele Harrison, All the Gear, No Idea: A woman's solo motorcycle journey around the Indian subcontinent

“There are few things more satisfying than weaving your bike in and out of almost four kilometres of stationary traffic.”
― Michele Harrison, All the Gear, No Idea: A woman's solo motorcycle journey around the Indian subcontinent
