Got my hands on a press copy last week - I must say it's beautifully put together - Chris's book is the default, full of insanely brilliant information that you'd never think of.
The Haynes book is stunning, the visual shots all do look as if they've come out of KTM and BMW press sets, but the information it contains is really very good - it's a well done introduction to Adventure Biking - in fact I'd go as far as to say if you've not even really thought about it before, get the Haynes have a read and get inspired, then when you actually get into planning your trip get the proper book from Chris S.
I'll be writing a full review in the next few days for a few sites but I'll post it up on this thread too.
Oh incidentally Haynes pay standard NUJ rates for shots used in their books.

Can it really be adventure motorcycling if one has to use a manual to figure out how to go about it?
Plus who are you and why does Haynes care? If you guys are out to make a contribution to the AM community please provide details, but this sniffs like somebody is out to make money off our hard earned lessons...if so, no thanks...I prefer to share my experiences with others who do the same, and that is the beauty of the HUBB.

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.
