Che Guevara and Alberto Granado's journey through South America in 1952 on a Norton 500 motorcycle is one of the most famous motorcycle journeys of all time. 'To infinity and beyond' relates the dangerous and exciting adventure as they follow Che's route faithfully.
Che Guevara and Alberto Granado's journey through South America in 1952 on a Norton 500 motorcycle is one of the most famous motorcycle journeys of all time. Guevara's experiences on that journey led him to become a key figure of the Cuban Revolution and one of the greatest inspirational icons of the twentieth century. Steve Holmes and Pete Sandford's journey through South America in 2009 is arguably the least known motorcycle journey of all time, but it took them on the same route, through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. Along the way, the pair did battle with some of the most dangerous environments on the planet including the Atacama Desert (the driest place on Earth) and the mighty Amazon River. To make it just a bit tougher they made the trip on authentic period Nortons just like Che's. Che's motorcycle never completed the 5000 mile journey. Would Holmes and Sandford's 60-year-old bikes survive this epic trip? 'To infinity and beyond' relates the dangerous and exciting adventure as they follow Che's route faithfully.

Steve Holmes (Blackburn, Lancashire) is an ex-punk whose band once supported The Boomtown Rats. The anarchy may have died but his adventurous spirit remains. Steve got into two wheels via a Lambretta SX200 but nowadays rides a Ducati 749s so you could say his experience of bikes is diverse. His other passions include skiing, water skiing, Manchester United and Stella Artois.
