Now we are getting somewhere
This is just the sort of thing I was talking about on the thread about Lonely Planet books. We have the knowledge between us to do our own thing. What it needs is an open page(s) where we can add info country by country and build up a database that enables you to look up Country/State/Town and find accomadation/petrol/food/drink/sites and the best local rides.
Then you can use the LP guide as toilet paper for those places that don't provide it.
In areas that have long distances between gas stations I marked those I passed, so also have a load of them that may be useful. Where they are thick on the ground, like around a main city, I did not bother since it is fairly obvious that petrol will be available there.

Great information! Google translator does a good enough job to make it very useful to us non-german speakers.
Excellent design.. nice use of lightbox =] I'm trying to setup a nice way to use it on my site.
"Parkplatz: Parking: >...Einstellraum (neben Kampfhund) Setting Area (next fight dog"
fight dog?

The start point is in the "biker friendly" forums (fora?) when you scroll down a bit: there has been a bit of development in there recently and it now includes your very list of stopping places, free camping etc etc.
Now all it needs is some up to date input!

Hello all together,
well I refer to the different replys: Well a "Kampfhund" (fight dog) is a dog like a pitbull terrier: You wouldn`t like to slepp next to that one I saw there. A real monster!!!
Anyway, regarding a accomodation page about south america as well as food, petrol info page I can add on my page in a special area.
In case you would like me to do that, just send me all info you have and i will place it in a special "moto-adventuer.ch/HU/acco_food_petrol"-Page. So anybody has access to it. However, at the moment it is not possible to open the page to anyone to include their info themself.
Let me know what you think of that idea! I certainly would love to do that, but I just have my info, so I would need your help/info for that!
Thanks
