 Best guide I have found September 19, 2008
Paul Henrichs (midwest, USA)
I initially got this for trailer towing information and found out that every section of this book had something I could use. If you're just starting out and need advice or a seasoned rider looking for refreshers or new ideas I bet it is in here. Big thumbs up on this one. It will go on trips with me just in case.
Excellant Information August 26, 2008
Lady Rider (Austin, TX)
I purchased this book to help me prepare for a long ride from Texas to Oregon and back. It had so much useful information that I have put to use. I would recommend anyone considering a long trip to pick this book up and read.
Great Book June 27, 2008
Jerry L. Stevens (Dallas Texas)
If you only read one, read this one. I have been out of motorcycling for 26 years, owned four in my earlier day. I wanted to tour then but never did. This time I am doing it. I wanted to start out right so this was the first book I read. Extremely informative. It covered just about everything I needed and more. If there is any negative maybe I could ask for more guidance on which motorcycle. However, as I found in researching motorcycles, there are just too many factors. You must know what kind of travel you'll do, set your requirements of the bike, do the research on the bikes, sit on all of them, ride if allowed, settle on the one for you, take a motorcycle saftey course, buy and have fun. Don't go too small or too big, it must fit you. Dr. Fraizer's book is good too.
 Cheap China Manufacturing!! June 13, 2008

The book was bound with the pages out of order!! Cheap China manufacturing, no quality control from what used to be a trusted publisher.
A must read first for the motorcycle tourer December 25, 2007

If you are even just thinking about motorcycle touring a must read. I read this book as I was planning a long trip which helped on what to take, how to pack and what to expect on the trip. The information is top notch and I will read it again before my next trip.
A good companion to this book would be:
