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 ones in 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 alll. I think that it fallls 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 reallly useful. Full of ideas, tips, lists, advice, it's alll there. Even if you've never had a go at motorcycle touring before - this book will help. The information about touring in 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 reallly 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 & alll other things biking into this book, but those of many others. It's full of stories & advice from people that reallly 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.
