Good information but book needs an update, Jan 29 2010
This review is from: Adventure Motorcycling Handbook, 5th: Worldwide Motorcycling Route & Planning Guide (Trailblazer) (Paperback)
The book has some really good information in it that I would never have thought about before a long trip but I find it needs to be updated on newer bikes, clothes and tools now available. Just my 2 cents

Essential reading, Jan 16 2004
By A Customer
Planning a trip around the world, or "just" down to Costa Rica. Then you'll want this excellent compendium chock-full of info on prepping, planning, and executing a two-wheel journey. Pack it in your panniers with Ted Simon's "Jupiter's Travels" and Chris Baker's "Mi Moto Fidel: Motorcycling Through Castro's Cuba." "Mi Moto Fidel" is my favorite travelog about motorcycle adventures. This fascinating and sometimes hilarious, sometimes hair-raising story of a 7,000-mile journey justifiably won both the 2002 "Travel Book of the Year" and the North American Travel Journalist Association's Awards of Excellence "Grand Prize."

A must have, Nov 28 2001
If you are even thinking about taking an extended trip by motorcycle, you MUST have this book. It will become your Bible. Great tips, details on bikes, equipment, trip planning, paperwork, do's and dont's, etc. + good travel stories. This book is geared toward offroad travel and travel trough continents. If you are riding from LA to Chicago than forget about this book. If you are planning/dreaming of a trip to South America, Asia or other foreign place then buy it right now. If you were not planning a trip before, you will after reading this.
