A great book for
a journey and I dont just mean a motorcycle journey. Any journey,
it is a good read on its own. There are lots of accounts of actual
trips by riders of varying experience.
Its inspiring stuff that leaves you feeling, if they can do it, why
not me?
Of course dreaming
when awake can be dangerous and can lead to.... well its up to you
to choose where, and this book will help you.
It is also a bit
of the serious motorcyclist traveller's bible and it gives information
on almost everything.
You name it, its there. Luggage, hard or soft? shipping bikes overseas,
hiring abroad, insurance, visa nightmares, motorbike camping, tyres,
bike preperation and maintenance and much more, including fun things
like scorpion stings, spiders, snakes and diarrhoea.
