Product Description
Product Description
There's something about motorcycles, and the lure of freedom and the open road that they promise. If you've ever wanted to take a motorcycling holiday, you've been before and are looking for new ideas for places to go, or you just want to do something completely different, then this book will inspire you. With routes taking in the very best of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas, there really is something for everyone.Accompanied by stunning photography, the journeys described here are perfect for everyone, whatever their level of expertise on the bike. Each route features a tool box telling you when to visit, other routes in the region to extend the ride, and exactly what options are available to you in terms of your motorcycle - whether you can take your own bike into the country, make arrangements to hire machines there, or book a bike-inclusive tour. A map also illustrates the route and the points of interest on the way.Featuring awe-inspiring journeys from the snowy passes of Patagonia to Australia's Red Centre, "Great Motorcycling Journeys of the World" is the perfect inspiration for your next big motorcycling adventure.

Format:Hardcover
A book for bikers (or wannabe bikers) who are looking for more than just a trip to the coast or pub of a weekend. Well written, entertaining, and above all inspires the desire to want to do one of the trips described. Great photos, simple maps and descriptions of each trip, most based on the authors personal experiences so well informed.
