It’s a romantic image; climbing out of a tent in the morning, packing your gear on a motorcycle, and riding off to explore the continent. Is that kind of dream still possible, and if so, how do you do it? Join author Doug Sanderson as he sets out to do exactly that. From dreamer to Motorcycle Safety School to motorcycle owner to touring on the open road, Doug makes the dream a reality from the saddle of a 1500 cc Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. Over a six year period, he not only learns how to ride a big motorcycle, but also takes several trips across the United States and Canada, mostly camping along the way at night. Experience motorcycle touring in all its moods; the joys and the frustrations, the cool green mountains and brutally hot brown deserts, the perfect blue skies and the violent thunderstorms that are all part of the motorcycle touring adventure.
