Missed that one. But maybe I wasn't so much into "ADV" riding then. I occasionally bought the now-defunct Motorcycle Voyager though. Shame it failed. Even if the ride reports and photos varied widely in quality.
Given the boom in interest in Britain following Ewen and Charlie's jaunts, you'd think there would now be an adequate market for "Adventure Motorcycling" here. But I don't see any publishers rushing in.
A book with the same title was published recently. I received it as a birthday present and I'm very pleased with it. Okay, in doesn't go into huge detail so old hands will have little to learn, but the photography is good and book as a whole highly inspirational for riders and would-be riders. I won't say wannabees. Serious riders are IMO better off with the Adventure Motorcycling Handbook. But there's a lot to be said for nice big full-colour pictures.
