There is even one from the space shuttle.
Hitchwiki – A collaborative website for gathering information on hitchhiking and other cheap transportation. Feel free to share your knowledge with them.
Jupitalia – Held together by tape, my copy of Ted Simon’s Jupiter’s Travels is one of my favourite travel books. Starting his first journey around the world on a 500cc Triumph Tiger in 1973, Ted is still riding aged 90.
