The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Travel (EGMT) has quickly become a must-read title for riders planning their own motorcycle journeys. EGMT is organized into four sections: Planning Your Trip, Preparing Yourself, Outfitting Your Bike and On The Road.
I wrote EGMT to especially address the explosion in motorcycle clothing and the vast array of electrical gadgets being added to bikes. If you own this book, I would appreciate an Amazon review.
