TALK ON BIZZIE’S ARABIAN DESERT ADVENTURE ON A HARLEY DAVIDSON SET FOR MEDINA BOOKSHOP

Medina Bookshop in Cowes is to host a talk by Bizzie Frost who will be recounting her amazing adventures through deserts on the back of a Harley Davidson. 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 6 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. The book, ‘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, UAE, Oman, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Her stories and photographs breathe life into the people and scenery and explain the differences between the cultures of these Middle Eastern countries. Above all, they convey the freedom and healing power of motorcycling on the open road. The talk at Medina will include a presentation of pictures of their adventures and will be held on Wednesday 1st May at 19:00. Tickets are £5 and are available in person from Medina Bookshop, or by phone 01983 300044 or from their website https://medinabookshop.com/event/travels-with-maridadi-harley-davidson-adventures-in-saudi-arabia-talk-by-bizzie-frost
