Outstanding Atlas. Have a group of friends that exchange "Harley" gifts at Christmas time. We all like to travel and saw this at Target for $35.00. The price at Amazon I could afford to buy 4 of these. They loved em. Will frame poster that is included.

The Rand McNally Harley Davidson Ride Atlas of North America: U.S., Canada, Mexico with Map is one of the best purchases I have made for a long time. I'm planning a coast to coast to coast trip to the U.S. for three months starting in mid July 2010. Along with the Harley Davidson ride planner (look it up on the H.R. site) I have already "reached" Warren R.I. on my way to Price Edward Island in New Brunswick, Canada crossing the Confederation Bridge. It looks like the book will be with me all along the trip and the important information it supplies wil most certainly be used on a daily basis. Seldom have I bought anything so exactly what the Doctor oerdered.

This is as good a specialized atlas for bikes as the trucker's atlas is for the big boys. Typical Rand McNally work- thorough and well executed. It also looks to be pretty durable.

It gives HD dealers' locations (latitude/longitude and on map), addresses, and phone numbers. It shows recommended rides and local riding tips. It gives distances in several formats. It even has a map dedicated to getting you to Milwaukee, Intergalactic Command Center of HD.

Two thumbs up.

This book is an excellent guide for the motorcycle rider or automobile vacationeer who desires to see the beauty that this Country has to offer. The maps and travel information make traveling in nearly every state almost effortless. I have traveled some of the suggested rides, prior to getting the book, and their descriptions are right on. I only wish I had the guide before I had visited the areas, and intend to use it for future rides to ease the trip.

I bought this as a christmas gift for my father in law. He has a harley and enjoys taking day trips as well as interstate trips on his harley. This road atlas is a great gift for someone who travels often, it has scenic motorcycle related excursions highlighted and front page pictures and extras on each trip including the milage and view points. There is information on traveling outside the USA, boarder crossing info and each states laws on motorcycle riding. I was very impressed with how much information is available for the motorcycle rider to help plan various vacations

Wow, I'm so glad I got this atlas. It helps me plan trips along with my GPS, looking for good, scenic routes. Good quality, easy to use (spiral bind). Comes with the map. Although I don't own a Harley but a Yamaha, I have no use of the map but the book is excellent for any riders or even road trip vacationers. And at a price hard to beat!

if you do any traveling or adventureing this is the map book to have .. screw the rest of them .. cc rider Rosedale,IN

Bought this for a two week motorcycle trip with my buddy from Austin, TX to the Tail of the Dragon in the Smoky Mountains, and back through Kansas and into Texas. Great book.

This atlas has a lot of good information. Camping areas are marked as well as state parks and scenic drives. The packaging is very good too. Seems to be waterproof. I do carry it in a zip loc bag in my saddlebags. It has been very durable to this point. I would like to see regional i.e. northwest quadrant/ southwest quadrant/ northeast quadrant/ southeast quadrant maps included in an atlas like this. My only quibble with this atlas is the way some of the states are split into east and west halves, but with the amount of detail that is included, I suppose it was necessary to keep the atlas saddlebag size.

I go on quite a few bike trips and this atlas is a nice luxury. It shows the scenic routs and the location of HD dealers. (handy if you need parts) The only reason it doesn't get five stars is that the perforated spiral binding (wire)has caused some of the pages to start to come loose. Mind you it rides in the saddle bag and gets no special treatment. A good product for a rider who wants to see the country not one who just wants to be seen at the bar with a doo rag and sons of anarchy t-shirt on. I have had this product for three years and 16000 hard miles.
