Inspirational - By: G. WILLIAMS, 24 Jul 2007 
The book has everything you need to know about doing some off-piste motorcycling. It makes some amazing trips sound vaguely feasible. Even for more mundane trips around the UK & Europe it has loads of good stuff about selection of gear & bike. It has loads of good biking stories too.
An excellent read - By: , 05 Jul 2005 
Well structured, easy to follow & I like the new chapter on medical advice, very thorough & easy to understand for the layman. Some great tips I'd not thought of!
A manual to true traveling - By: , 23 Jan 2003 I have never made such a travel like the onesin this book, the writer gives plenty of usefull tips that will not be forgotten, very entertaining reading, however, there are plenty of references to other books & you will only get the big picture after reading them all. I think that it falls short on the tech stuff, i would like to get a book only about the motorcycles & tips like adjusting the carb for high altitude & repairs, this book only gives a few pages to the subject of picking a bike & i think it deserves a lot more. It absolutely lives up to the title & made me dream, what else can you ask?
Essential Reading - By: , 01 Feb 2002 I've had this book for over 12 months & I still re-read it. Anyone planning to travel somewhere different on a motorbike will find this book really useful. Full of ideas, tips, lists, advice, it's all there. Even if you've never had a go at motorcycle touring before - this book will help. The information about touringin different continents/countries is excellent.

A thousand years of biking experience in a single book - By: rpp@iobox.com, 18 Jun 2001 Chris has been there, seen it & done it. Well most things on a bike that are legal, & I guess a few that are not! This book gives detailed information for both novice & expert alike. From tyres to tools, from bikes to routes. If you really want to live the dream, then this is the first place to start, & if you are only dreaming.......dream on. Chris has not only put his wealth of knowledge, his love of travel & all other things biking into this book, but those of many others. It's full of stories & advice from people that really have been round the world on two wheels. A bible for any biking traveller....keep it close to hand, you never know when you might need its help.
