Adventure Motorcycling Handbook: A Route & Planning Guide, Asia, Africa and Latin America (Trailblazer Guides) Paperback – 22 Feb. 2016

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'.

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!

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.

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.

manages to cover every aspect of adventure riding without it feeling like you are reading an instruction manual. Has a good balance between pure facts, stories and opinions from the authors. Well worth reading wether or not you intend travelling in to any of the deloping countries.

Truly deserves its name. A handbook! No bulls***, no wasted time and space. Just down to the core of what you want to know. Must-read!

Not finished yet but very helpful and funny too. Chris DM for a beer sometime.

Is very useful, Some great information

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.

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.

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.

Not purely technical, but filled with great stories. Written with great sense of humor. Swallow the book just in a few days!

Si vous voulez partir a l'aventure en moto ou juste rever un peu ce bouquin est parfait, plein de conseils et d'astuces. Je recommande et en plus recu tres rapidement.
