Memoirs; Motorcycles: general interest

After a botched spinal operation left her partially paralysed aged forty-five, Bizzie Frost found herself unable to enjoy the active lifestyle she loved in Saudi Arabia. That was remedied six years later when her airline captain husband, Frosty, proposed they buy a Harley-Davidson. An invitation to join friends on a 2,500km ride to Oman was irresistible and they bought a customised Road King. They named her Maridadi, meaning 'beautiful' in Swahili.

Travels with Maridadi is an epic account of their adventures on Maridadi in Saudi Arabia, a country rarely visited by outsiders during the thirty years that Bizzie called it home. Riding pillion with Frosty, she travelled thousands of kilometres across the deserts and mountains of the Kingdom, as well as other Middle Eastern countries. Her stories and photographs breathe life into the scenery, people and culture of the Kingdom, and convey the freedom and healing power of motorcycling on the open road.

Born and raised in Kenya, Bizzie Frost believes adventure in life is essential. In 1978, she married airline pilot Richard Frost and in 1984, his career took her and their two children to Saudi Arabia. Despite the restrictions on female freedom, she flourished, becoming an accomplished photographer, journalist and rule-bender. They left Saudi Arabia in 2015 and, now grandparents, they divide their time between Kenya and London. Her first memoir was Travels with Maridadi - Harley-Davidson Adventures in Saudi Arabia.
