Product Description
This book is written to help motorcyclists prepare themselves and their motorcycles for traveling long distances over extended periods. Whether you are getting ready for a weekend trip beyond your home turf or for a transcontinental odyssey lasting several years, Coyner's book details the fundamentals for riding in comfort, safety, and convenience. In three major sections, the book covers trip planning, rider preparation, and outfitting the motorcycle. An appropriate level of planning for a long motorcycle trip can help maximize enjoyment and minimize irritating annoyances on the road. Coyner lays out the steps for planning a worry-free, fun trip. Over 250 full-color photographs illustrate riding gear, accessories, and modifications that will make any motorcycle adventure the trip of a lifetime. |

 ANOTHER MUST READ! June 3, 2009
NYN8TV (NY, NY)
I've owned my first and only bike for less than a year, which is also how long I've been riding, and have already made a trip from Jersey to Miami and back! Had I read this book BEFORE I took that trip (on an XL1200C Sportster), I would have been a bit more comfortable. Luckily for me, I didn't learn any lessons "the hard way", except for "monkey-butt", but I surely learned a lot from this book which will make my next long ride (and ANY ride) a LOT more comfortable!
Travel Preparation May 21, 2009
Big-D (Lake Havasu City, AZ United States)
I bought this book to help me prepare myself to travel long distances solo and wanted ideas as to what I should carry with me and some things I really don't need. Great information book for those looking at a possible long distance motorcycle trip. Well worth the money. And it was very interesting also.

I rarely write reviews for Amazon, but felt compelled to do so here. I recently bought a BMW F800ST (sport-tourer), and got the bug to read up on possibly doing a cross-country trip next spring or fall. Dale covers absolutely everything you need to know. From preparing your bike, to buying what you need to take a trip on it (from weekend jaunts to several months), to preparing yourself (both mental and physical), to proper clothing (get a one-piece riding suit--or some other type of armor-reinforced jacket and pants--after all, how much is your life worth?!?), to how to pack and what to do six months, three months, one week and one day before you begin your trip. It's so comprehensive I can't even begin to note all the things he covers. He even gives web addresses for many of the products he recommends. And this is NOT a product-pushing book; he recommends what works for him, and for others he has traveled with or otherwise knows.
Hey, Dale's done all the work for you here. Spend the 14[..] on the book and benefit from his advice. Or, you could spend months on the web researching and basically come to the same conclusions. Your choice!
Safe riding and happy trails to all.

Excellent material; high quality construct November 23, 2008
S. Brown (Las Vegas, NV USA)
This comprehensive overview gives lots of great information for the new touring rider. If you've been touring for a while, this will probably not help you as much, but that goes without saying. The book pages are thick (think photographic paper) with loads of color pictures and diagrams explaining things like how moisture wicking material works to keep you dry. The author includes checklists for things you'll need to remember and wise advice on practical things we'd all prefer to not learn the hard way, like how to prevent monkeybutt. I highly recommend this to the new rider and consider it a good piece of information for those of us who have ridden for years but are still open to suggestions on improving our ride. (note: I have not had any problems with the binding; construction appears high-quality).
