Adventure Motorcycling Handbook.

Help,
I need to find a copy of the new edition of the Adventure Motorcycling Handbook. I am currently on the road in the U.S. and none of the bookstores seem to have a copy or have to order it which can take weeks and since I am not in any one place long enough I cant order it via Mail.
Any suggestions on how to pick one these up on the Road??? I will be in Ireland and the UK in a couple weeks, are they available there in the bookstores?????
Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh,
I'm in Scotland and if you like I will order another copy from Amazon and get it to you on your arrival in the UK and we can arrange payment later.

If that is any help let me know and I'll get it arranged.

Ian.

Chris Scott will also be at the HU Travellers Meeting in the UK, and will have a special deal on his book there. Try to get to the meeting regardless, you really don't want to miss it!

See the Meetings page for details and signup.

See you there!

Hi Josh, hate to see a traveller deprived of an AM5. Those that ordered it here should have got them last week - US a couple of weeks from now I'm told. Amazon uk have it now (tho show wrong cover) and there's mail order off my websites or going for a tenner signed at HU UK, no questions asked (while stocks last).

Any bookstore should have them now. If you have to order it, it should only take a couple of days for it to arrive in store. I got mine from Waterstones. Some shops will no doubt have it on the shelf in the travel section.

Hi Chris
Seems the 5th Adventure Motorcycling Handbook is selling great. Amazon UK just sent me a mail saying book delivery will be delayed for 2 weeks

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
