There are road trips and then there are rides. Any motorcyclist will tell you: cars take to the interstate for road trips, bikers hit the back roads for rides.

To do it right you'll need a guide. Something that combines unparalleled road expertise with years of ride experience.

Done. Harley-Davidson® and Rand McNally have teamed up to produce the ultimate ride guide, the first-edition Harley-Davidson® Ride Atlas of North America.

The 284 pages are packed with 25 cyclist-tested rides, four-color touring maps, detailed descriptions, local cycle laws, milage directory, insider tips, and more. Open to any page and I guarantee you'll be itching to ditch the congestion and stress and head off the beaten path.

Spend the weekend cruising through the coves, hollows and water gaps of the Blue Ridge Parkway, crisscross the Rio Grande, or cruise down a scenic Arizona desert highway. Her arms wrapped tightly around you the whole time.

So unless you are an NFL quarterback, (listening Ben?), pack the saddlebags, grab a leather-clad lady, and ride.
