What people say about DHWA
"This, bar none, is
the best American motorcycle guide we've read. Hopefully, it won't
take too long for Bosworth and Sanders to survey the rest of the roads in the US
because everyone with a passion for waltzing a bike through beautiful roads
needs one of these guides." --RoadRUNNER, Motorcycle Cruising &
Touring
"An astonishingly thorough
guide...this thing is so in-depth, it's sort of hard to describe. If you want to
know where to ride in the state of Washington and what it's like, this is
your book."--RiderWearhouse/Aerostich.com
"The word "thorough"
does not even begin to cover these books." --Friction Zone,
Motorcycle Travel & Information
"There are lots of great roads
in Washington and across the border to the north in British Columbia, Canada. We're not
talking just nice roads like the Blue Ridge Parkway, we're talking scenic
paved roads zooming over majestic mountain passes similar to the European Alps,
twisting around volcanoes such as Mt St Helens and zipping through shadowy
canyons as impressive as any in North America. There's no question there are
great roads in the Northwest. The only question is which ones do you have time
for? My personal suggestion is to get a copy of Destination Highways
Washington. Personally, I'm impressed with the amount of information in
these guides. These guys have done their homework and it shows. I know you're
going to find DHWA impressive, so I also suggest you get a copy of Destination
Highways British Columbia." --David
L Hough author of "Proficient Motorcycling" "More
Proficient Motorcycling" & "Street Strategies" (in BMW ON)
"Travel
books are helpful for reading up on an area before you go, and also for catching
the bug to go to an area. Bosworth and Sanders have created a book series that
scores high on both counts. Most importantly, these books are focused on
the needs and interests of motorcyclists. Be
forewarned: thumb through a copy (of DHBC) and you’ll probably be thinking
about heading to Canada’s western province next summer. I scrutinized
the second book
(DHWA)
to see
if (they) had discovered my
favorite roads, and whether we agreed on the ratings. How about the twisty road
between Enterprise, Oregon and Clarkston, Washington? Few riders seem to have
discovered that little gem. Yep, it’s DH18. I’m surprised they found
that one, but I agree with the rating. OK, how about Forest Service Road 25 from
Randle south past Mt. St. Helens? Sure enough, it’s DH4. Bottom line: I’d
trust these guys.
I’m impressed with these very functional and informative motorcycling guides."
--David
L Hough (in Motorcycle
Consumer News)
"This is an impressive book...the Ulysses of
guide books, a pound and a half of maps, stories, arcane and sometimes humorous
facts, indexes and qualitative ratings... rides are described intimately, as if
they had stopped after each curve, dug out notebooks and held detailed
conversations...Even the Glossary of Twisted Terms is amusing: if you've never heard of
"twistosterone" you need to get yourself some...as in the BC book,
maps are printed for easy use in low light. There are a lot of maps, by the way,
and they are very good maps... You can see where the money went: spiral-bound,
full-color, printed like an art book and exhaustive detail."

"I finally got off my ass and
ordered (DHWA & DHBC), and I've spent the last several days flipping through them
like a crack addict...and my boys at Twisted Edge Publishing provided the
fix for me.
If
you live in the Pacific Northwest or are even thinking about planning a
ride to that area, I recommend picking up these little gems. Hell,
even if you're heading up there in the cage these would come in handy.
Double hell! Even if you're a map freak and can appreciate the
beautiful layout of these books...you'll love 'em!"--www.sport-touring.net

"Bosworth and Sanders have done a great job of
profiling Washington State’s best roads... (it's) a bargain price when you consider the wealth of information
that’s in the book" --www.soundrider.com

"For
my fellow enthusiasts who view the journey as the equal or even
greater reward then the destination, this book is for you.
...the
TEs listed in my area identified a number of roads that I had not
discovered in the past 10 years, they alone would be worth the price of the
book. ...this 542 page reference work will become an
essential part of your Ferrari. It is some of the best money I have spent on
mine." --www.ferrari.com
"If a ride through Washington
State is in your plans, you could miss a lot if you go without getting this book
first" --IronWorks, The Journal for Harley Enthusiasts
"Donut Hole: (n) that part of a Krispy
Kreme with no pastry or that part of central Washington with no
curves." That's from the Twisted Terms Glossary at the
front of Brian Bosworth's and Michael Sanders' latest foray into moto-publishing:
the highly entertaining, gorgeously produced, 542-page bikers' guide...
they nailed it first time out (with DHBC), and promise to do so once again with this fully
mapped and rated guide to the most scenic twists and turns in Washington State. I
can attest to the accuracy and usefulness of Bosworth and Sanders' rating
system. Their top-rated road (in Washington) was one of my peak experiences last summer."

"Bosworth and Sanders' writing style is easy to read, engaging and witty. They have aimed these books squarely at pavement warriors and have succeeded in producing the best road guides
available; bibles for seeking the finest roads in British Columbia and Washington State.
And as indispensable as a good credit card and sticky tires." --Edmonton Journal
"These
guys know who is reading this stuff and there is no politically correct filler
here. They write for the dedicated rider and do it so well you could
imagine you are talking to a fellow rider at a gas station sharing tips on where
to go. I have used the previous book to plan out some great rides in BC
and know that these guys know what they are talking about.

"I'm a 66 year old native from the Seattle area and as such, thought I
knew all the roads Washington has to offer. Hah! Yesterday I went about 25 minutes from from my home in Lynnwood and enjoyed the Spring
weather on roads I'd never been on before!" --Bill
"I am a Highway Engineer by education so
great highways have always been of great interest to me. Your (TIRES) rating system is a
great way to evaluate roads specifically for the characteristics that we
motorcyclists desire most." --Jerry
"Very thorough, I've discovered tons of new roads that I've literally driven right past for years!"
--liv4thekill
"...outstanding guidebooks for the best motorcycling roads in Washington State and British Columbia. I have both books and (they)
are the best of their kind, easily worth twice what they cost. They're THAT
good."--Woofy
"Far
and away the best thing out there. It hits the spot exactly and I can’t think
of anything else that comes even close."--Eric
"It's worth the price, especially with the price of gas
these days. You can't afford to waste time and money on crappy roads." --Mitch
"A Godsend! Riders spend
hours searching the internet for opinions and secret roads that can all be found
at their fingertips in mere seconds here." --Neal
"Combining DHWA with the GPS really gave us some insight into some
options that we would have never even thought about." --SeattleVet
"I can't say enough good things about
DH Washington--truly great. The day after it arrived last year, I headed north to Washington (from home in Las Vegas, NV) and rode my tail off in the Volcano Region. Stayed in the same town for four days and road different loops every day. Having ridden all of the DH's in that region and most of the TE's, I agree with all of your assessments. Northern Cal has been my riding stomping ground for 25 years so I'm anxious to see your new book!"
--Jim C
"We used your WA and BC books
to guide us on our annual summer tour this past June and could not have put
together such a great trip without them!" --B LaMear
"Great book! Not only the best motorcycle guidebook I've seen but one of the best laid-out and organized guidebooks of
any kind." --Chris
"I've bought both DHBC &
DHWA and have now ridden about 75% of the runs described. I'm happy to report
that I agree with your assessments almost all the time. Absolutely invaluable
guides!" --Andreas S
"I've hummed and hawed, and if
any of you are in the same state, BUY THE BOOK!! It IS worth it." --Joel
"I want to tell you how much I enjoy these books. Not simply because they provide me with amazing rides I'd otherwise miss. They're also well-written enough to be recreational reading (my wife is always asking me what could be so funny in a guide book). And quite simply, it's a joy to see someone take on such a
big project and do it so right." --Phil
DHWA kicks ass!" --Pit Crew
"If you're looking for the best and most challenging roads for motorcycles in Washington, look no further than
DHWA. This is a very comprehensive collection of the curviest, most scenic, and best engineered roads in the state and has the
best road specific details available." --M Cambern
"Let me say that both DHWA & DHBC have exceeded my
EVERY expectation! It's nice to have a reference work that includes so much information pertinent to
motorcyclists."--Chris
"Anything listed in this book is golden. Well worth the
money --make sure to ask for it for Xmas!"--Lestat
"These are the best motorcycle guides out there for an area. Bar none. Absolutely the best $$$ you will spend if you like the twisties!"
--DragonRider
"Destination Highways BC
has for a few years been THE bible for backroads in BC. Having recently put DH
Washington to the test, I have to say it is as valuable as a few sheets of
TP tucked away for emergencies when riding in remote areas."--EFZEDONE
"Compared to Destination Highways books, everything else is
a giant stinking turd."
--Phil
"The information and formatting
are awesome! You will want to purchase this book. --H1 Rabbit
"DHBC has become my bible on the road. For
Christmas, I gave myself DH Washington --many of the roads (in it) I have
experienced, but look forward to exploring more. Didn't realize the special
roads so close to home. Thanks for the work
cataloging everything in such a minute and
entertaining fashion." --Jim
"A great book. When they rate
something high, it's gonna be a great road...a sweet tool to use for
planning a trip--saves a lot of the guess work for you." --Brassneck
"Great book! (TIRES is an)
excellent and accurate rating system, one of the best tools I have seen to help
plan an enjoyable trip, no matter what type of riding experience you are after.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to Northern California."--Mark
"...their eyes lit up
when I brought up your title. Your book is their bible! They love it. He reads
it at night, in bed, fantasizing about the next trip to take..." --Glenda
"Our traveling companions were amazed at my intimate knowledge
of Washington's back roads, all acquired thanks to DHWA. I really appreciate the amount of work involved in putting these books together.
Now off to plan a weekend trip to Port Townsend via DH27, DH52..." --Adrian
.
"Stopped for water in Tahuya today at the end
of DH32, and was told by the store clerk, "We've had more motorcycles than cars through here today...and they all seem to have that same
book you've got in your hand." When I got home my wife, who hates to ride
(huh???), picked up your book and wants a copy of her own. Nice work guys!" --Phil
"DHWA has been a great read. Fantastic detail in the writing, and dead on about
features to look for (and look out for). Good job!" --Tom
"Thanks for DHWA and DHBC.
Half the fun is figuring out where to ride next, and these books are a HUGE
help!"--Dean
"Four friends and I just got
back from a trip through the Palouse area of SE Washington using your new book
extensively. We can't say enough in praise of the incredible amount of work you
obviously devoted to the task and what a terrific tool it is for exploring new
roads. Eagerly anticipating your next book!"--John
"At the last Calgary Motorcycle
Show I stopped at your booth to tell you how impressed I was with DHBC
when you pitched me on DHWA. I started to protest, stating that I have
never even ridden there but then I realized that if Washington was worth you
guys covering, certainly it must be worth me checking out. Thank you in
advance for the great adventures there that surely await!!!!" --Dave
"I just received DHWA and my expectations were surpassed in every
way. Superb job on a great book!" --Joel
"I have both DHWA and DHBC
and love them. I've purchased several copies to give to friends. Everyone loves
them. Thanks for the hard work and keep them coming--can't wait to see Northern
California!"--John
"I just don’t think you will find more comprehensive and detailed bike guides anywhere else."
--Lisen
"I received DHWA a while back and love it.
Please don't change a thing. Your format and execution are utterly fabulous. I
eagerly look forward to your next book, whatever area you choose to cover!" --Jeffrey
"WOW! Just got DHWA for Christmas. Fantastic
book! Thanks again - keep up the GREAT work!" --Bob
"...jeez, what a shit
load of work. I suspect that few realize the amount of work (and money) that
goes into producing such a comprehensive undertaking. The thing that really
pissed me off though was page 464. Bit like being exposed to a photo of naked
teen ladies--having been teased with the pic, I now need to go there, which
could be costly." --Max
"My
first scan indicates that DH Washington will be as useful and entertaining as
DHBC, and I use
that all the time. They're great to read even during the cold winter months when
my bike is off the road. I am sure the next book will be great!" --Alan
"The travel info in DHWA is great. You have to appreciate the amount of work put in to publish it. Iron butt or what?"
--Fury
"I
just received my copy of DH Washington, which I had pre-ordered. It was worth the
wait. You guys did a great job!"--David
