Looking for Motorcycle road maps
Does anyone know of any map books designed for motorcycle style routes. Is there such an animal out there.

RE: Looking for Motorcycle road maps
Hmmm... "Motorcycle style routes"...
Well if you mean "up and down" and "twisty" routes, I'd go with topographic maps that show elevation differences as well as all the little roads!
USGS topographic maps are interesting as well as Delorme (sp?) topographic atlas issues (by state). You'll find both on the internet. With topo maps, you can pretty much determine the amount of climbs and drops (and therefore the twistiness) of a route. Do a botanical overlay on the internet versions (Satallite imagery) and you can even get an idea of the tree cover of an area.
Hope that spurs you into finding what you are looking for!

give this site a try it might be what you are looking for. You have to order the maps but they are nice. The Maine NH and Vt is sold locally at the stealership.

If you plan to make a trip to Washington State, British Columbia or Northern California, check out this web site -- they put out great guides for the best MC highways.

What a racket.....ride virtually every road in a state, deduct everything as a business expense, and publish a book. Why didn't I think of that....?
