Book excerpt: The book describes matters specific to motorcycle adventure travel: the documents required, the maintenance of the bike, road and riding conditions as they affect the motorcyclist, border crossings, transporting the bike by air freight, breakdowns and repairs, and accommodation and security for bike and rider. An appendix lists exact distances and the names of secure hotels. The travelogue includes conversations with a multitude of locals, and with many of the fellow travellers Bausenhart met along the route. The writer demonstrates that anyone with a strong desire to do so can indulge in motorcycle adventure travel. All that is required is a reliable motorcycle, a bit of money, and a lot of time. he lives in Ottawa, Ontario.
