If anyone likes the idea of motorcycle travel books, then (in addition to Jupiter's Travels) I'd strongly recommend the books by Lois Pryce (details here: https://www.loisontheloose.com ) - she's made a few interesting trips and written great books describing them. I've seen her give talks locally a couple of times (last time was at the Marlborough Literary Festival a couple of years ago) and she's a great speaker.

On Lois' trips there's her and a bike... nothing more, no buddy or accompanying cameraman, no 4x4s full of support staff and spare parts. All of her books are a good read, and if she does a live talk locally then it's definitely worth going.
