Motorcycle book: Eric Massiet du Biest’s track code

Choosing a maxitrail to go on an adventure is one thing. But then it is still necessary to master it at a minimum on small steep paths and sandy tracks that make the apprentice backpacker dream! Éric Massiet du Biest, used to motorcycle raids all over the world, sets the course to follow in his new book "Le code de la piste".
