Archives of Wisdom

I've been looking for websites with long-distance motorcycle touring advice and suggested roads. There is a wealth of advice out there, often accompanied with great stories. I'll post them here as I find particularly good sites or pages. These two are great:

Iron Butt Association's Archive of Wisdom. My favorite: Leave your drugs and coffee supply at home. It's this simple, drugs and other stimulants do not work!

Wait, no coffee?

Pashnit's California Motorcycle Roads. I rode with one of Pashnit's tours a little over a month ago. His site is an amazing asset for motorcyclists planning trips in, around or (in my case) through California.
