reaking the Limit is one woman's account of riding her motorcycle from New Jersey to Alaska and back. Realizing that years of work and travel in other people's countries made her a stranger in her own, and with an invitation to meet her biological father for the first time, Karen Larsen set out on a fifteen-thousand-mile trip with nothing but her motorcycle and the barest of essentials. Larsen's journey tests the limits of her own endurance, challenges her long-held beliefs and values, and asks what it means to belong to a family. Through the the fields of Iowa and the deserts of the Southwest, over the Rockies and across Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Larsen confronts questions of femininity, family, independence, and personal identity. Her journey speaks to the immense space and over-whelming beauty of North America, as well as to the diversity and vitality of the people she meets along the way. Breaking the Limit invites you to join her as she braces against the wind, trades security for freedom, sacrifices stability for motion, and opens herself up to the vast canopy of a continent.

The icy wilderness of Alaska is the perfect place to lose yourself. But Warren doesn't want to lose himself. He wants to lose someone else. Since his teenage years, a tiny voice in Warren's head has warned of the dangers threatening physical and emotional harm. This voice, Harvey, continues to stop him from living life fully. Although Warren tries to rid himself of this manifestation of anxiety and depression, Harvey steadfastly remains-ruining his marriage, depleting his finances, and sending him to rock bottom. When Warren's friend Mike wants to take a motorcycle trip to Alaska, Warren seizes the opportunity to do something bold, thinking he can leave Harvey out on some Alaskan back road and come home a changed man. But in the Alaskan wilderness, he finds that getting rid of Harvey isn't so easy. This poignant, intimate memoir perfectly captures how it feels to have anxiety as a constant companion. The truth Warren discovers about Harvey will ring true to many suffering from similar anxiety conditions.

Are you tired of fantasizing about taking that dream motorcycle trip and want to turn that dream into a reality?

This book isn't about motorcycle travel theory or philosophy. I share with you the exact same methods and steps I use to plan and execute my own motorcycle trips all throughout the US. I cover how to plan and prepare for the trip, what to do during the trip as well as what to do after you return home. I go over different types of bikes and modifications you can make to them to make them more "touring worthy." I also cover all the different types of riding safety gear and what to look for when purchasing. And finally for those of you who don't know where you want to ride; that's ok. I also show you how come up with your own travel ideas. Motorcyclist's Guide to Travel will give you all the information you'll need to finally take that epic trip you've been dreaming about.

Lois Pryce was working at the BBC in London, firmly set on the career track. But unbeknownst to her coworkers, Lois was leading a parallel life as well, that of a biker babe with an overwhelming case of wanderlust, one that couldn't be satisfied by a weekend holiday. Her days in a cubicle were numbered, and it wasn't long before she was back on her bike and looking for adventure. Armed only with the Spanish words for "caution" and "cheese," Lois set off to conquer America---both Americas, actually. Starting in Alaska and working her way down the Pacific Coast, she rode through snow, desert, and everything in between to reach the southernmost tip of Argentina. Lois tackled every type of fellow biker imaginable and endured everything the continents could throw at her with quick thinking and a vibrant sense of humor. Whether bribing her way through Central American borders, spending the night in a Mexican brothel, or crashing her bike in Patagonia, Lois's bright, funny travelogue will charm anyone who longs for adventure and a stretch of the open road.
