By: Dr. Gregory W. Frazier .
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.
Packing up your motorcycle and living on the road can be a thrilling, exciting, and intimidating proposition. Whether it's going up to the lake, cross-country, or over international borders, motorcycle touring has become one of the hottest and fastest growing activities in the country. In Motorcycle Touring: Everything You Need to Know, Dr. Gregory W. Frazier has compiled a volume of tips, tricks, and knowledge gained from his decades of touring experience, including four global circuits through Asia, Europe, Africa, and more.
Frazier covers the basics of choosing a motorcycle, maintenance tips and tools for roadside repairs, and packing supplies. Moving to more advanced touring concerns, such as international travel tips and laws, insurance and currency, multi-cultural interaction, and long-term trip planning, this is the perfect volume for riders at any level who wish to tour the world, or their own backyard, on two wheels.
