Editorial Reviews

Review

"Whether you are getting ready to ride the legendary Route 66 and want a little extra motorcycle specific information, are looking for a new ride in your neck of the woods, or are just snowed-in and need a motorcycle 'fix,' [this book] should be sitting on your coffee table (or packed in your saddlebag as a roadside companion)."  —Two Wheel Freaks.com

"The Rider/Writers are not shy about stopping for photo opportunities; each report is filled with gorgeous pictures. These images compliment the words, and are a big part of the quality feel the book has . . . both veterans and those who think they want to tour should enjoy reading this. The editors of Road Runner have a winner here that is perfect to while away the cold winter, fueling my dreams for the season that is soon to be here."  —Motorcycle Sport Touring Association

"I have to mention that this book is very entertaining and informative for any traveler, whether on two wheels or four. Contains first class photography about the landscapes and attractions that you will encounter along your way."  —cyrilhuzeblog.com
