From Nordkapp to Cape York on a Motorcycle
Edition year: 2003
HorizonsUnlimited description:

"...he decided to start his trip in London, England, to ride up to Nordkapp, Norway, and from there to continue overland to Australia, and to return to Canada via Los Angeles. The book describes the 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 airfreight, breakdowns and repairs, accommodation and security for bike and rider. An appendix lists the choice of motorcycle, its (sic) accessories, modifications, and trouble spots, and the itinerary, with exact distances and the names of secure hotels... 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."
