I'm planning to do a review when I get a little time. The short of it is that this book awesome.

[aerofaze]

Looks like another great book for the library. The 8 reviews on Amazon (as of today) are glowing.

But I think I'll buy the book on B&N since I have a gift card...

Nice work, sfarson!

[MetaLord 9]

Badass!

[Scatterbrain]

I'll have to check that out. Thanks for passing that on!

[cptschlongenheimer]

I will be ordering this but...
A kindle version would be super slick.

[Clovis]

That's one book I wouldn't mind doing "research" on

[TFOGGuys]

Most of the people that left their real names in the reviews on Amazon are good customers of mine...


I may have to get Steve's book as well...

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

I'll just talk to Da Ninja for free!

Looks like a good read though. Might have to read it some day....after I finish my latest Motocourse and Autocourse annuals.

Reading material for the snow days.

I had the pleasures of meeting him/riding with him on a few occasion, and I will definitely will be purchasing his book.

OOhhh sweet

Hey all, thanks. And enjoy. It's a comprehensive thing. I won't blab on about it here, but can mention something relevant to this community... if you read between the lines, and note the attitude, you will see a bias towards sporting fun, with an approach that the road/ride is the destination first.

Would mention the publisher and I might develop a Kindle/e-book version someday. Prior to the new color Kindle Fire, a black & white rendition of this very colorful and vivid book, with the images, the history, the maps, etc.... well, it just wouldn't have been the same. That said, owners of the book are granted exclusive access to a massive unabridged web version of the book, with interactive features, links, more content, etc. Instructions note emailing rmridermail@gmail.com for access. So, there is a web option, and it is one book owners can access with their smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC, etc.

Anyway, a thank-you for the kind remarks.

Hey Steve,
Great work on the book. I had an oppertunity to do a quick look-see on my flight from El Paso back to Colorado this week. As I was soaring over the same roads mentioned in the book, looking out and seeing some of these roads, it gave me a nice warm and fuzzy. Very comprehensive with out being to technical to get boring. Short history tidbits of places and times long forgotten. One can tell this publication was well thought out, researched and then implimented in a size easy to throw into a tankbag for referance on the road.
Great work again Steve, but I have one question,
When can I get my copy signed by the author?
Bash

[sfarson]

Hey Mike, Thanks. Well, let's make a signing happen some time! First chance is tomorrow... I'm signing a copy someone is bringing to a Denver Euro ride - 9:15a or so at the Starbucks - Golden. Hope they remember... I'll be leaving a brisk Park County early in the morning to make it to Golden! Since this probably won't work for you, let's be sure to keep trying. Steve

[FZRguy]

Hey Steve, any metro area book sellers stocking your book?

[sfarson]

JD... Bookstores (Barnes, Tattered Cover, etc.) are beginning to put it on the shelves (Already have it online). Bike dealers all along the Front Range (and state for that matter) are somewhere between...

A. Selling out their first countertop display and are re-ordering (BMW of Denver)
B. Should still have some books left (Erico, RPM, Rocky Mtn H-D)
C. Have first order en route (Foothills BMW)
D. Are getting around to ordering (Fay Myers)

Given your location, call/check with the parts dept at RPM, Rocky, or Erico for the inventory status. To be sure, the above are just what I know about. Ex... I know G-Force Powersports on Colfax was enthused with the book, but I don't know the status. Oh, and if any of you want to help , call Scott - Parts at Fay Myers and ask him if he has brought it in. He was going to, but the other day while getting a bike serviced, he hadn't gotten around to it yet.

[longrider]

Steve, I talked to Scott (I work at Fay) and he sent the app into your publisher and we never heard back. I guess we need to start over, we definitely want the book

[sfarson]

Thanks much for following! I sent an email to key contacts at the publisher to give Scott a call. Together they can make things happen. Sorry about this.

Thanks again,

Steve

Hey Steve, I just ordered one for Randy in GA as a thank you (and to coax the crew out west). We were at the bubbalicious yesterday. The Randarosa is something else!
