Don't think about it, just buy it
This book is utterly brilliant. I'm 52 years old and completely new to motorcycling. I must be going through a mid-life crisis or something as I've never had any interest in motorbikes whatsoever until about 6 months ago and now I can't get them out of my head. I keep thinking about going on an adventure, riding a motorbike around the world maybe. I buy my weekly copy of MCN every Wednesday and read all the monthly mags like Bike and Ride, etc. I've become addicted to it. This book covers everything you could possibly want to know about adventure riding. I feel that I could now go around the world on 2 wheels with complete confidence. That might sound completely bonkers taking into account how very inexperienced I am but what the hell. If I don't do something now, when will I. Don't even think twice about buying this book, the author has been there, done it and bought the t-shirt. I'm off now to start reading another book that landed on my doorstep yesterday from Amazon called 'Proficiency In Motorcyling'.

Fantastic book
Fantastic book - a must for everyone dreaming about an adventure on their bike. So many valuable tips, one of them solved a mystery on my bike which had cost me a lot of money to mechanics ("small petrol filters block at temp about 35 degrees"). Good leaning, entertaining as well - written with a humoristic tone - love the book, well done.

Good book to dip in and out of as you ...
Comprehensive covering most aspects of a long trip. Good book to dip in and out of as you plan an epic trip. Written by someone who has done it and who you feel you can trust.

must-have book for adventure riders (and for city-riders, too!)
must-have book for adventure riders (and for city-riders, too!). It arrived in a well protected box; reading of this book gives the informations one must have to be prepared for big and little adventures. But it is exciting to be read as a book itself!

... cover every aspect of adventure riding without it feeling like you are reading an instruction manual

Una joya para todo Motero-Viajero
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.

An Informative Book--and A Great Read
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

un mito di guida...
... arrivata ormai alla sua 7a (nonchè 25ennale) edizione; indispensabile per chi, come me, voglia intraprendere e pianificare viaggi in e fuori Europa. Ormai un best buy nel campo. Consigliata, al di là della moto che si ha. Amazon, come sempre, impeccabile
