Great American Motorcycle Tours is the first travel book written exclusively for motorcycle riders -- and it's the only book they'll need. It features 20 regional motorcycle trips throughout the United States -- through Maine and Miami, Montana and Monterey -- with tips on the best places to pull over and enjoy the view or spend the night.

Great American Motorcycle Tours provides descriptions of the scenery, interesting side routes, length of time needed, restaurant and lodging information, and specific tips on how to handle each road. Plus, each chapter includes photos and hand-drawn maps. There's also an appendix listing motorcycle Web sites, national rental companies, road rallies, motorcycle organizations, riding clubs, and more. Author Gary McKechnie has ridden each of these 20 tours, and his descriptions are accurate, observant, and often very funny.


You're a rider ...an independent spirit who's reluctant to follow someone else's road map. But there are thousands of miles of road out there, and you could spend months searching for the best ones. Don't waste your valuable two-wheeled vacation. Instead, let Gary McKechnie be your guide. He's spent years exploring the nation by bike, and these are his top rides. Great American Motorcycles of the Northeast focuses on the best rides of the region, covering everything from the Hudson River Valley to Amish Country.
