Achievable Dream - Motorcycle Adventure Travel Guide - Gear Up!

Description

Are you a traveller on two wheels? Have you been inspired by the stories you've read on Horizons Unlimited? Or perhaps you watched the 'Long Way' series and it's got you thinking of a motorcycle trip to distant climes - the markets of Marrakech, the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan, the salt flats of Bolivia, the Bungle Bungles of Australia, the Pan American to Tierra del Fuego?Did you finally fork out for that dream bike built for high adventure, and you know every highway and byway within range of an annual vacation? Is something indefinable calling you farther afield - to the next country, the next continent? Grant and Susan Johnson, 11 years Round The World veterans and founders of Horizons Unlimited, the worldwide 1 website for motorcycle adventure travel, bring you 'The Achievable Dream' series - the most comprehensive, definitive guide on DVD for planning your motorcycle adventure. Gear Up! Although virtually any bike can travel around the world, 'which bike' is always a lively topic for discussion among motorcycle travellers. In this 2-DVD set, we interview knowledgeable owners about their bike, and why they chose it. Interviews with experts cover how to prepare the bike for overland travel, what spares to take and choosing tires. You'll also learn: what to take (and what not to take!), including riding gear, clothing, camping kit, first aid kit, maps and GPS; and how to pack it all in! This DVD features legendary travellers like Ted Simon (author Jupiter's Travels), Gregory Frazier (5 x RTW), Sam Manicom (author Into Africa) Lois Pryce (author Ladies on the Loose and Red Tape and White Knuckles), Austin Vince (director of Discovery TV's Mondo Enduro), Peter and Kay Forwood (190+ countries on a Harley), Chris and Erin Ratay (Guinness record holders for RTW travel).Also, we have interviewed over 100 other inspiring travellers at our live events in the UK, USA, Canada, Germany and Spain to get their stories, tips and hard- earned knowledge on trips to nearly every country on earth. Hundreds of photos, video clips, and presentations by experts are also included. Be warned, viewing this DVD may be a life-changing experience! First reviews on Gear Up!:'Love it, was worth the wait ;-)' 'Superb, Mega, Highly informative, Funny, and more. We sat in front of the TV from 3 o'clock till midnight because of it; if it was a book I guess we couldn't put it down. The latest one is about which bike, gear, camping kit, clothing etc. Best thing on Adventure motorcycling we have seen!' 'Only one word sums up this DVD.....Invaluable! And put together with the rest of the series.....Awesome! 'Super important and great info. I've watched it 4 times already!' 'Absolutely excellent. Much more than I expected and answered many questions that I didn't know enough to ask plus tips galore.' 'Excellent variety, options and opinions!'
