If you love motorcycling and travel, and dream of combining these two loves and heading off to exotic corners of the world, this book is a must for your motorcycling library. It provides a wealth of information and ideas on how to plan the riding vacation of a lifetime. 
First published in 1989 and updated in 1991 and again with a 1993 supplement, this book is still amazingly current even though the actual dates and prices for various organized tours change from year to year. But, the itineraries described and the touring operators, rental agents and transporters detailed here have remained quite constant since we first published and so far we have not felt it necessary to issue a revised edition. 
With this book you get: Complete information on 153 different worldwide motorcycle tours and background profiles and pictures of the touring operators (to get this year's schedules, phone or fax the numbers given); Details on 25 motorcycle rental agencies worldwide, including the types of motorcycles they offer and requirements for rental; Advice about transporting motorcycles--to the next state or around the world--and the names and addresses of companies who specialize in getting your bike where you want it in perfect condition; A useful weather chart. 
Even if you have never thought of taking a vacation trip on two wheels, a close look at this book may change your life (and your spouse's) forever. We made our first trip in 1988--two weeks in the Alps on a Kawasaki Concours. It was the best vacation we have ever had. It also prompted us to research and publish this directory, which formed the beginning of Whitehorse Press!

Starting in early October, the trees of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire burst into a brilliance of color. From the top of northern New England's numerous mountains you can see mother nature work her way south leaving patches of red, orange and yellow behind. By month's end, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut have reached their peak, turning the area's twisting roads into paths of autumn gold. 
Fall has made it famous, but any season becomes New England, with its haphazard roads, scenic landscapes and traditional architecture. This book is the perfect guide for finding the best the area has to offer. It contains suggestions to lead motorcyclists to their kind of road in six major riding regions: the rugged Maine coast, the high notches of the White Mountains, the lush gaps of the Green Mountains, the lakes region of upstate New York, the rolling Berkshire hills, and the coastal areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut. Altogether, Berke has carefully plotted 19 trips for you, most of them taking one day to complete. Each trip is detailed by means of a map and specific route directions, as well as recommendations for restaurants, diners, roadhouses, places to stay, interesting places to visit and the locations of emergency facilities. In addition, the book contains a listing of all major motorcycle dealerships in New England, in the event you have mechanical trouble on the road. 
The trips are designed to accommodate various riding styles, from two-up travelers looking at every nook and cranny, to sport riders chasing more curves than a day's worth of hourglasses. Either way, this book will lead you to great riding and offbeat people and places.

There are two ways to teach. One way is to drill information into the listener's head. The other is to tickle it in. West Coast humorist and offbeat motorcycling personality flash gordon, m.d., (yes--that is his real name . . . no caps, please) author of a popular column in San Francisco's CityBike magazine, is a master of the "tickling" school of education. Reading this compilation of his best essays would be a guilty pleasure were it not for the sound information it contains on various topics related to motorcyclists' health. 
flash's experience as an emergency room doctor and 37-year motorcycling veteran allows him a unique perspective--his suggestions are remarkably insightful, and could even prove to be lifesaving. Ever wonder what to check first when someone has an accident? How about treating road rash properly? Experiencing lower back pain, leg burns, hearing or sinus problems--even hemorrhoids? flash tells it like it is--giving sensible advice about what you can treat on your own and what you can't. Though you may have forgotten everything you learned about first aid and safety in school, you'll never forget it again after reading this book--flash spins cautionary tales that are as easy to remember as a song. 
The chapter headings may sound wacky, but the tips you'll discover in them will be "anything but:" 
Roasting the Fatted Calf (Leg Burns), Here's Lookin' at You, Kid (Eye Injuries), Duh Thrill of Victory, Duh Agony of Duh Feet (Proper Footwear and Footcare), Motoholics Anonymous (Addiction to Motorcycling), Too Cool is Not Too Cool (Hypothermia), "Sh*t, That Was Close" (Adrenaline), That's the Breaks (Broken Collarbones), You Need This Like a Hole in the Head (Sinus Problems), and many more! 
We're sure you'll find Blood, Sweat &amp; Gears to be highly informative and entertaining. It's filled with the author's amusing--and sometimes sobering--anecdotes from many years of directing a free clinic in San Francisco. flash takes you from the high jinks of Haight Street to the high anxiety of the emergency room, and does it with intelligence and style. Addressing the most prevalent health issues facing those who spend a good deal of time in the saddle, flash delivers his advice with a strong dose of original humor. The possibility of saving the time and expense of a doctor's visit is certainly a sweet pill to swallow. : In Stock
