Adventure Motorcycling Handbook: A Route & Planning Guide (Trailblazer)

This classic book deserves all the great reviews as an adventure handbook, but perhaps overlooked is the fact that this book is a great read. The style is terse, gritty, compact, complete with a touch of irony and seasoned with wry comments. I especially enjoy the short summaries of other overland traveling motorcyclists--I could read a whole book of these accounts.If you plan on a serious motorcycle adventure trip, read this book. If you like reading about motorcycles and interesting places, read this book. And re-read this book. And re-read this book

I heard a lot of recommendations for this book but thought it had to be a lot of hype. I was wrong. Immediately upon opening you can tell this book has some weight to it. The quality is immediately noticeable. The cover is nice and the pages are done in that nice texture that crisps up the pictures and text to be super clear.The book is jam packed with information and is more of a resource book than anything else. I am going to use a lot of Post-Its as I am reading for sure. If you are toying with the idea of getting into Adventure Biking this is a must. You may find it becomes a passion or you may find all your allusions swept away with the truth contained within. Either way, you can't do much better for sub $20.

Great book and truly the Bible for adventure biking. Easy to read, well laid out, and makes you want to spend more time on two wheels. Next road trip this is coming along just for pleasant reading by camp fire or hotel room! I really can't speak highly enough of how pleased I was by the book.

Adv riding 201 class is in session lol everyone on bike regardless of what you ride needs to read the bible of travel

This book is jam packed with information on everything from packing to ID's and other information.I can't believe how many times I said to myself "I didn't know that". I've ridden 300k miles inside the US but never outside yet... and this book gave me a basic understanding of what to expect.

Well, a WORLD of information here in this book about the writers travels in far off lands. Lots of technical info concerning various motorcycle specs and even emergency repairs. Customs requirments and currency exchanges. Its all here, not quite what I was looking for as I was planning a simple camping/ touring trip to alaska, but an interesting read if your into things like a trip to Argentina or Zimbagua or Pakasastan or some far off place.

Got the latest edition and already own the previous one. Great small practical updates. My older edition will be a gift to a friend.

Great source of information here. Highly recommend this book. No matter what your experience level you will find some new tips here.

It seems to be a 'rough' update of what was once probably the undisputed bible of Adv-moto travel. With the internet providing so much information, and more current at that, it has got to be hard to compete. But it truly is inspiring!

Para todo aquel interesado en el tema de grandes viajes en motocicleta este manual es imprescindible, una compra obligada; ahora, el libro está únicamente en inglés y ahí es donde radica el inconveniente con este producto, pues contiene muchas palabras y tecnisimos particulares al tema y que dificulta la traducción, sin embargo esto no es nada para aquel que está interesado en el tema, pues con paciencia y trabajo se puede traducir. La calidad de las hojas, la impresión y la cubierta (a pesar de ser blanda) es muy buena, pensado para ser un útil manual que puedas llevar al viaje para consultarlo. Lo recomiendo mucho pues es el manual más completo que existe sobre el tema, lleva editandose muchos años, por lo cual está al día con varios temas particulares.

This book is very comprehensive. I have only gone over it quickly so far but it seems to include a wealth of info for anyone interested in adventure motorcycling.

excellent information if you are really interested in adventure motorcycling not just riding to go for a coffee

Excellent book
