 not what I was looking for December 28, 2008
Kathleen G. Kelley (Kathy in Wa state)
This book mainly covered west of the cascade mountains. We ride harley's and I was excited to see a book that might give us some new day trips or new places to explore. If you live on the coast it might be useful but if your in the eastern part of Washington I wouldn't get it.
Great book for motorcycle riding August 16, 2007
Fadi Safadi (Fresno, CA USA)
One of the few books dedicated to motorcyclists. Great pictures, and insightful content.
The organization of the book makes it a little confusing or difficult to find something you are looking for. But once you find the content, the information is great.
I just came back last week from riding in California, Oregon, and Washington, and I read this book just before leaving. I tried portions of the rides suggested and was very pleased. Most of the rides are loop oriented, meaning they bring you back to where you started from, while we were riding through those States. But I just picked interesting legs of his trips and included them in our path.
A Storybook Travel Through Washington State March 8, 2007

Bruce Hansen has written a great travel guide for the motorcycle enthusiast. It doesn't have as much about the roads as it does the places to see and visit. My wife and I have read it cover to cover and Bruce's writing style is easy to read and entertaining. I recommend it for anyone looking to find some out of the way places to visit in our fine state.
If you're looking for the best and most challenging roads for motorcycles in Washington, look no further than "Destination Highways Washington: A Motorcycle Enthusiast's Guide to the Best 346 Roads in Washington State". This is a very comprehensive collection of the curviest, most scenic, and best engineered roads, and has the best road specific details available.
Between these two books, you can't go wrong. Both are well worth reading.
 Good book - new roads with great photography January 17, 2007
SKM (Spokane, WA USA)
I am impressed with the book - lots of new roads to discover, many of which I would not tend to take on my own. Good book, worth the cost - also check out Destination Highways Washington (expensive but excellent)
Pac Norwest Review March 25, 2006

This is a great resource for anyone new to the area, new riders or for anyone just looking for some new rides. Most of the pages are devoted to major attraction, there are many great rides that are not mentioned, but there are only so many pages in a book. A great job of covering the Northwest area. Directions, distance and travel times have been pretty accurate. Accomidations mentioned are fairly current and up to date. I have used this book for inspiration on many occasions and have never been disapointed.
If you are from outside the area and planning a scooter trip thru the great northwest, this book is a must! If you are from the area and just looking for some new ideas, this book probably isn't it, but it is still worth the read. Bruce has obviously put in a lot of miles on his bike in this area.
