Synopsis

‘The first thing we did was buy Chris Scott's 'Adventure Motorcycling Handbook’ Ewan McGregor, The Long Way Round

In print since 1991 and now in full color, the eighth edition of the Adventure Motorcycling Handbook remains the legendary travel bible for two-wheeled adventurers. Dreaming of taking on the Big Trip? From Kathmandu to Machu Picchu or Mongolia to Patagonia (via Tanzania), AMH8 tells you everything you need to know on how to ride Africa, Asia and Latin America, aka: the Adventure Motorcycling Zone (AMZ). With 448-fact-filled pages including contributions from a team of earth roaming, overlanding experts. When, where and how, essential documentation, two dozen travel bikes rated, pages and pages on adapting and equipping your bike plus Life on the Road: borders, visas, money changing, air freight or shipping, comms and trackers, police trouble, mapping and navigation, off-road riding, troubleshooting and repairs, medical emergencies, wild camping and gear. Trans-Continental Route Outlines give you an idea of the best way to traverse the AMZ; which borders, fuel costs, where to get visas and catch ferries and where not to go.
