Thank you all so very much for your many birthday wishes. I truly appreciate them. In 1975 I met Matt Handbury, Rupert Murdoch’s nephew. He told me that when I got to Australia I should visit his grandmother, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch in Melbourne. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
From Coonabarrabran. Very quiet on the roads and in the towns. Passed along a section of dirt road to Cudal. Stopped a while to talk and look at parrots. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
Carol, I, and the bike arrived in Brisbane by train on the morning of January 9th 1976. I must have done some phoning beforehand, because we were invited to have lunch that day with the Lucas manager, a man by the name of Gribble. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
I think I mentioned a while back that I’ve been to Mexico. Got back two weeks ago. I flew into Mexico City and from there made two trips, one north to Mazatlán and the other south to San Cristòbal. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
Here, at last, what you’ve been waiting for – the tale of the croc’ hunter. We are in far north Queensland, where we had just caught a mud crab, but I forgot to note how utterly delicious it was. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
1976, and it’s a New Year in Australia. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
I’m away in Mexico for a few weeks, so you may not be hearing from me for a while. Early on in my journey, when I was passing through Kenya I became friends, briefly with a man whose brother had married and gone to live in Australia. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
When I read what I’d written half a century ago, I found it so harsh that I almost skipped over this episode, but it’s a long time ago, things have changed and Australians reading this will know how much they’ve changed. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
After that extraordinary interlude with the truckies the rest of Australia seemed rather dull at first. In fact the word “dull” crops up too often in my notes. But before I get into Christmas in Oz, here’s a picture that somehow got away last week. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
We took the main road from Marlborough to Sarina through a rather ghostly forest of naked, bone-white eucalypts with very little sign of human life. A couple of grizzly murders had been committed on it, and it was talked up as a “Horror Road.” jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
G’day, everyone. How are you this Sunday morning? Back to 1975 in Australia, the lucky country, when the future looked bright and we were ambling up the East coast, working it out as we went. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
From the outset, I was very clear about several promises I made to myself. Two years into the journey, in November 1975, I was about to break one of them. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
Still following the story as it happened, my next stop had to be Australia. As idylls go, my idyllic time on the commune in Northern California lasted longer than most, but after almost four months I had to move on. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
I lived on the commune for almost four months and halfway through that stay the Sunday Times asked me to do a column for a series they were running called One Man’s Week. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
When you last heard from me I was writing about my arrival in LA, and if I were to go on with these extracts and references to my notebooks, the commune in Mendocino County would come next. But there’s something else on my mind – two things, actually. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
I wrote a little last week about my reception at the Triumph headquarters on the edge of Los Angeles, but there is more to say that I didn’t write about in the book. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
I had no real sense of the distances I would have to cover in America and imagined myself to be practically there – in Los Angeles, that is. My notes became very sketchy, and need fleshing out to make sense. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
Join me again in 1975. I had just crossed into the USA, limping along with a sick engine to Los Angeles where I hoped to get help. Nothing had prepared me for the culture shock when I got there. After a week or two I wrote about it for The Sunday Times: jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
It’s May in 1975, and I left you last in the beautiful town of Guanajuato, but the USA looms large on the horizon of my thoughts. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
Still in Oaxaca 1975, I was going to continue with extracts from my notebooks as I moved on through Mexico to the USA, but I find them harder to transcribe. jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…

Ted’s writing about riding around the world in the 70s is sublime. Jupiters Travels is a must read. He did it properly - took him 5 years I think because he kept getting distracted by nice things
Join me again in 1975. I had just crossed into the USA, limping along with a sick engine to Los Angeles where I hoped to get help. Nothing had prepared me for the culture shock when I got there. After a week or two I wrote about it for The Sunday Times: jupitalia.com/news-from-jupi…
@Jupitalia The gentleman on the right, AMA Hall of Fame member Brian Slark, was the one who met you at Triumph and sorted the bike. I just heard this story recently.
@Jupitalia Congratulations on the 50th anniversary of an event that changed the lives and opened the EU's of Thousands....
Today is the 50th anniversary of Ted Simon's #JupitersTravels. He left for Egypt, the same day as the Yom Kippur War started! One of my favourite people in the world. Congratulations Ted! You the man! #JupitersTravels #TheDaddyOfAdventureTravelWriting @Jupitalia @TheTedSimonFDN
@Jupitalia The interruptions are the journey. Remenber to get interrupted, whatever ypu are doing!
@Jupitalia This morning I was teaching about the power of serendipity and making time for it, for our Sustainable Futures Design Thinking students. Of course I told them about the interruptions being the journey.
@Jupitalia Got my copy on Spotify but still reading the paper version looking forward to you reading the book
@Jupitalia And here it is, today. There was a small gathering at lunchtime. Amazing stories of Jupiter were told. Sian from the museum says “you are a very brave man”. She is from India, and shared her experiences of riding an Enfield there.
50 year ago Ted Simon (@Jupitalia) set off on his epic journey. Jupiter's Travels is up there with my all time favourite books. Essential reading for anyone interested in bikes and/or travel🏍️🌎🏍️🌍🏍️🌏🏍️
6th October 2023 will be the 50th anniversary of the first day of the journey that became Jupiter’s Travels. Many kind people have said they’d like to help me mark the day. If you’d like to get involved, you’ll find details here: jupitalia.com/50years/

@Jupitalia I would take Lawrence back to see it again, as in this photo, but he's now a giant 18 year old trainee palaeontologist, so I don't think we would get away with him sitting on such a special exhibit...
@Jupitalia @motomatters It was a pleasure to attend your talk in Boston MA circa 1996. Often when I'm at the supermarket puzzling over which of the 10 brands of rice to buy, I remember what you said about how obscene American supermarkets seemed after the places you'd been
@Jupitalia I'm going to the museum to see the bike coventrycollections.org/search/details…
@Jupitalia 50 years, wow! Quite possibly the best ever travel book I've ever read.
Amazing trip, iconic photo, wonderful human being. He inspired me (and thousands others), to travel and open ourselves up to the wonders of the world.

@Jupitalia I’ll get on my Triumph for a quick spin and then when I am home raise a glass to the man and the adventure that captured my imagination
@Jupitalia I will read parts of "Jupiter's Travels" to my friends.
