Synopsis

The popularity of motorcycle tour riding is increasing steadily, but riders taking off on extended trips must realize there are unique hazards they can face when riding without support far from home. This book is a comprehensive "how-to-tour" guide that includes information on how to plan, what to pack, how to make emergency roadside motorcycle repairs, how to develop a "personal safety net" for when things go wrong, and how best to avoid having things go wrong.

Review:

RoadBike, June 2006 (circ.: 45,325)

“This book is filled with great advice, all punctuated with entertaining stories from Greg’s own experiences. It’s also full of excellent photos of fellow travelers and unusual situations, the kind of pictures that make you want to get out and explore the world for yourself. If you read this book before heading out for adventure, you’ll benefit from Greg’s years of experience.”

Friction Zone (CA), September 2006

“Motorcycle Touring is really three books in one--it’s part memoir, part how-to guide, and part coffee table book.”
