I think it's kind of a good guide to use as your "bucket list" of places to ride. The writing is interesting and engaging. And it's got some detail. My "but" is....it's missing stuff. Camping information is my big complaint. Sure it has some, but I know for a fact there are more sites.

Also, these days with the internet, detailed maps and a good GPS system, you can find more information about these rides.

I'm glad I bought them. But, unless you're really new to motorcycle adventuring, this wouldn't be the most exciting book you can buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars highly recommend, June 27, 2010

Great book. Delivered very quickly. An easy read for a beginning motorcyclist who doesn't know a thing about riding, yet lots of detail for the seasoned rider. Looking forward to trying out a trip or two!
