Touring on a motorcycle has never been more popular than it
is today, but with more and more people hitting the open road, a growing number
are doing so without the proper skills and information they need to survive the
ordeal. Far too often the trip of a lifetime turns into an unmitigated disaster,
leading to expensive breakdowns, arrests, lost wages, broken limbs, death, and
even, on more than one ocassion, divorce. Most people who travel aboard
motorcycles have learned these lessons the hard way, if they’ve survived long
enough, but now readers of the Motorcycle Touring Bible can learn an
easier way; they can learn from author Fred Rau’s mistakes rather than through
the school of hard knocks.
