All seems fine to me, 'cept "Birds-eye view", which is UK slang. Pity 'cos it's the funniest. If you do use it, add an apostrophe of possession: bird's.
Getting ready is better than inspiration and preparation. Three reasons. First, because it is more active. Second, latin based words are less friendly, so avoid if possible. Third, titles in most media are there to pull the viewer in rather than to describe, so go for the light touch. It is not a textbook on plate tectonics. And last principle: if in doubt go for brevity. So how about just 'kit' for the second disk? By the same thinking, DVD 3 could happily lose a word: on the road, rather than life on the road - it's also a bit more romantic IMO.
That's how a journalist would approach it anyhow.

Oops - sorry Frank we weren't clear - we're not looking for the chapter titles, but one per DVD subtitle.
Simon, good points, ta. We agree on short - but we tossed in long names to get people thinking.
--------------
With more discussion with others, we seem to be coming around to "The Achievable Dream" for the overall series title,
"Motorcycle Adventure Travel Guide" for the series subtitle
and DVD #'s
1: Get Ready
2: Gear up
3: On the Road
4: Ladies on the Loose
That's our current "working titles" - still looking for more suggestions / ideas! 
thanks!
Grant

Grant,
IMO, your titles and chapter titles are great. Really, it's what is inside that counts. Good editing, music and production value will make or break the
video in the end. Good luck with it!
Only one part I thought might need help is the prep/Kit title.
How about :
Bike Prep & Rider's Kit
Cheers,
Patrick

The titles seem to get better by the hour.
Tony P: "Simon I think it should be Birds'. We don't want her to think she will be the only Chick out on the road!"
I see where you're going Tony, but the the phrase implies just one bird. So: take a bird's eye view of it. If plural wouldn't it have to be birds' eyes, which isn't too pretty?
Could we try and get a bit more off topic? It's such fun.
Simon
