NZ Motorcycle Atlas

What is the New Zealand Motorcycle Atlas like? Worth buying for $30?

Not seen or read it myself (been looking for it, but haven't found it yet), but have heard from more than 1 source that it's apparently well worth the read ...

Well worth it IMHO, mine is now dog eared, water damaged, battered and well thumbed through! Taken me on plenty rides and looking for the yellow squiggly lines for biking country is addictive!

Has bags of info. about sights, sounds and stops for the intrepid traveller and travel tips also. I've done just about all the NI routes ... just got the SI to do next.

For the $30 or so squids, its all gravy baby!

Its worth a read. The book is one of the main reason that got me touring.

[raftn]

Yep.......well worth it.

Hi Slo

If you like I can pop in and see you and show you the atlas. Good excuse to get a coffee at jacks and check out your whisky!

Well worth buying unless you have an aversion about looking at photo's of BMW's! John.

Oh, and I have ordered the atlas anyway.......

As an alternative I can recommend 'Great Escapes', a guide to motorcycle touring in NZ compiled by Peter Mitchell.

Isn't that the same author? What's the difference between the two books?

Have to say I love my NZ Motorcycle Atlas, good information about the routes, petrol stops etc, and is a good size for the tank bag.

I might have to call in at a book shop and have a nosey at the Great Escapes book.

I really like my Motorcycle Atlas and have used it quite a bit when deciding on roads to ride. It is also fun to look at when you just feel like thinking/reading about places to ride. Good maps, good motorcycle focus.

I love it! Over time I have accumulated three copies. A much battered, previously drowned copy accompanies me on trips. Numerous such trips have been planned using the Atlas.

The copy I payed for cost $35 so $30 sounds fine to me.
