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.

Very informative

This is a very informative and at times entertaining book. Though it was my second book on touring it could have been my first. I have owned four bikes but I have been out of motorcycling for 26 years. I wanted to tour back then but did not. I am doing it now so I wanted to get some expert advice. I feel very well informed as to equipment and what I might expect. Plan your trip, research the bikes/dealers, try them all on, they must fit (not too big, not too small), take a motocycle safty course, buy and have fun. Read Coyner's book also.

Light but interesting

I enjoyed reading the first half of this book but then found it very repititous. There were some good common sense tips that you would apply to travelling the world by any mode not just motorcycling. His stories and anecdotes were interesting at first but it soon became obvious that the book was well padded with fluff and photos.

Certainly not Everything You Need to Know

I agree with A. Brannon "MLC Rider" to a lot of fluff and not enought subtance. The book is mostly Doc Frazier's travelog. I was looking for information on how to travel, with what and how to do it safely.

This book is certainly not Everything You Need to Know.

I think the better book is:
The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Travel: Tips, Technology, Advanced Techniques
by Dale Coyner
