I can see it&#8217;s a compilation of your articles from <\/em>Motorcycle Classics<em> (one of my favorite motorcycle periodicals, the other being <\/em>Motorcycles for Sport and Leisure<em>, from the UK). You&#8217;ve done a lot of two-wheel travel, a lot more than I have, as I re-entered riding about 12 years ago after being off two wheels for several decades. I enjoyed your writeups on some of the places I&#8217;ve been on two wheels and other places I haven&#8217;t ridden, but have driven on family trips. I&#8217;m in NorCal and, as you know, there are many, many fantastic places to ride up here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you for your promotion of motorcycling on machines which don&#8217;t weigh 900 pounds. The smaller bikes are very capable and I say that although I am by no means a small dude. I think your development of the CSC bikes is great and I also have interests in the REs, Janus, Genuine 400 and the Yamaha SR400. Maybe it&#8217;s just a retro frame of mind, I don&#8217;t know, but I like proper motorcycles like those.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks once again for the book and best wishes in your endeavors. Here are a few photos from my moto expeditions in the area, just for fun:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3856\" src=\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1a.jpg 600w, https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1a-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3857\" src=\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2a-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2a-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2a-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3858\" src=\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3a.jpg 600w, https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3a-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3859\" src=\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4a.jpg 600w, https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4a-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/>Bob, that&#8217;s awesome.\u00a0 We&#8217;re glad you&#8217;re enjoying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1091989478\"><em>Destinations<\/em><\/a>, and thanks for the kind note and the great photos. \u00a0 Ride safe, good buddy!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to order your own copy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1091989478\"><em>Destinations<\/em><\/a>, you can do so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1091989478\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1091989478\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3697 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Destinations-Standard-Front-Cover-Color-650-Stroked.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Destinations-Standard-Front-Cover-Color-650-Stroked.jpg 650w, https:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Destinations-Standard-Front-Cover-Color-650-Stroked-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>And don&#8217;t forget to sign up for our quarterly <a href=\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/Books.html\">motobook<\/a> giveaway.\u00a0 All you need to do is enter your email address to receive automatic email updates, and you&#8217;re entered into our contest.\u00a0 The next drawing will be at the end of June, and we&#8217;d like to see you win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good buddy Bob, who won our moto book drawing last quarter, sent this nice note to us a couple of days ago and we wanted to share it with you&#8230; Hey, Joe, just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you for the Destinations book.
