 The best place to start November 16, 2008

If you're even as much as thinking about riding a motorcycle unsupported across vast distances, you should buy this book. It's certainly not the be-all and end-all of adventure motorcycling, but it comes as close as possible. This is a practical, straightforward, well-written book that covers the basics of traveling across formidable terrain on two wheels.
With that said, you're definitely going to do more than just read this and take off--especially in the age of the internet (and especially if you're thinking about staying on the pavement). But look at this as your jumping-off point; and really, if you're planning on spending enough money to, say, ride a motorcycle around the world, you should start off with this relatively minuscule investment.
 half of the book are strories written by other riders May 23, 2008

and one of them left bad taste... the guy was riding in Africa with the author of the book and a buddy and had tire problem (tubes he put in were getting punctured after some miles). He was simply left out by his partners to deal with his problem and had some hard time when run out of spares .. It makes me wonder if author consider this story is good for his book what are the other ones..
there is some useful info in the book though... especially bike comparison

This is the bible for long distance adventure on and off road via motorcycle. I highly recommend this book.
Great read! November 21, 2007
I love adventure riding and own a BMW R1150 GS Adventure. This book covers a great deal on the stuff you need to know before that big trip. It also is an enjoyable read even if you can't do that big trip.
Gold Standard September 2, 2007
The title pretty much sums it up. This book is the gold standard for adventure motorcycling or travel in general. With heaps of specific information necessary for your trip, along with some classic European humor makes for a great cover to cover read and/or an invaluable reference book. With information ranging from tire change instructions to the state of travel in Columbia this book has any would be or genuine adventurer covered.
