"Just received your DHBC Companion
Map. Thanks for another nice product. As someone who works in the field of surveying and mapping, I appreciate
the quality work and recommend you to all my fellow riding & driving enthusiasts." --Jeffrey
"Just rode down to Portland on all the Washington state back road DHs and TEs.
Planned the trip with the DHWA book, created the routes on the GPS and
traveled with the
DHWA Companion Map. It makes everything come together. Great map, great
detail... can't wait for the DHBC Companion Map!" --Hal
"The
DH NorCal Companion Map is AMAZING! Thanks - and keep 'em coming!"
--Jeffrey C
"DH NorCal and its Companion Map made the trip for our five aging sport
bike guys. After DH29TE-H these five, fifty plus year olds thought I
could walk on water! After many years and thousands of miles together
I've never seen them happier. We even had a couple of local guys
outside Sacramento ask us where a particular road came from/went to." --Chris P
"Outstanding stuff, I constantly recommend you to my fellow riders. DH
NorCal and its Companion Map gave my son and I the best trip
ever last summer, and we thought we already knew the roads in Northern California!
This year we're going to Utah and Arizona, and without DH books or any
knowledge of those states, its proven to be quite an exercise. It makes
me appreciate your efforts all the more." --Barry W
"Picked up my third DH book, DH NorCal this Christmas. Thanks for the great books. By the way, the
NorCal Companion Map is an excellent addition. Allows for the "big picture" when planning a trip and
considering routes." --Ron B
"Just received your DHNCA Companion Map and it looks great! I've been
riding for 45 years (in NorCal, Washington and BC for 27 years). I want to encourage you to do
Companion Maps for each of your
other books, too. I've got DHBC, DHWA and DHNCA
and am looking forward to your DH SoCal book. Thanks for these great books
& maps that help me
'ride like a local!' " --Jim C

WHAT ARE THEY?
The DH NorCal Companion Map was the first Companion Map to our best-selling
Destination Highways™
motorcycle guidebook series and that was so popular, we've followed
up with the DHWA Companion Map and the DHBC Companion Map.
They are 100% synthetic, waterproof and rip
proof, traditional accordion-style, fold-up maps that shows the
coverage area of our books, half on one side and half on the other, so
generally at least double
the scale of most maps. (It's the equivalent of blowing up the
Northern California Half-State
map from its 8 1/2 inch by 5 1/2 inch page in the book to an 80
inch by 56 inch map!) And the maps are specifically designed to be a
complementary companion piece to our books. Using the same unique DH and TE
motorcycle road identifiers and regional breakdown
of the books you can now see how all the best roads from
the books' 125 maps fit together on one convenient, traditional map. You’ll see
every DH and TE (334 in NorCal, 346 in WA, 185 in BC) in an overall context that the books can’t
provide. (Plus, they look pretty damn good up on a wall.)
I'VE GOT THE BOOK, WHY DO I NEED THE COMPANION MAP?
Many riders, who love our books because they provide the
knowledge to allow them to "ride
like a local" even in areas they've never ridden in before,
have asked us for Companion Maps. Here's
why:
HOW YOU USE THE DH NorCal DH Washington and DH
British Columbia BOOKS:
Our TIRES ratings and detailed DH (Destination
Highway) and TE (Twisted Edge) descriptions
allow you to find the motorcycle roads in Northern California, Washington State
and British Columbia that you don't
want to miss according to your riding style (for an example, see the
Feature DH
write-up and TIRES numbers.) Once you ride a few DHs, the TIRES
numbers will start to make a whole lot of seat-of-your-pants sense
and you'll soon be able to compare one DH to another before you even
ride them, and make sure you do ones suitable to your style of
riding.
The detailed information on the 125+ maps in each book lets you find the services you need to keep you
on the road with the minimum amount of hassle (for an example, again
see the Feature DH
map). So if you’re hungry or worried about gas, or if you want to
keep riding for a couple hours more past the campground or motel you spot at 4:30 pm
(but also don’t want to be riding at 10 pm with no place to stay),
the book will take care of you.
HOW YOU USE THE COMPANION MAP
Once you know which of Northern California's best 334 or
Washington's best 346 motorcycle roads or BC's best 185 roads you want to do, and you’re all
serviced up, you only need to use the books to navigate with. This
requires you to go back and forth between the maps in them. Now,
you’ll be able to stop pulling out your book and beating it up just to navigate. Pack it
safely away and simply use the Companion Map to point the way. Pull
the book out if you need to refresh your memory on what a DH or
TE offers or if you need gas, food, drink, accommodation or a
motorcycle dealer. But to navigate, let the rugged, convenient Companion
Map take the brunt of letting you know where to go next. Not
only does it simplify navigation but because it shows all the DHs
and TEs in context with each other on one map, you can see the
"big picture" in a way that the 5.5 X 8 inch pages in the
book can't provide. Plus, it looks pretty damn fine when you return home
and throw it up on a wall (we've even had a couple of orders for
unfolded DHBC Companion Maps for framing). Dream about which of
Northern California's best 334 or Washington's best 346 motorcycle roads
or BC's best 185 roads you'll ride
next!!

WHAT DH NorCal, DH Washington,
DH British Columbia AND THEIR Companion Maps DO FOR
YOU
Our 34,000 mi (54,000 km) of research riding in Northern California,
28,000 mi (46,000 km) in Washington State and 25,000 mi (40,000 km)
in BC guarantee that with Destination Highways™ you'll know where all the
good riding is and where the services you need are, even if you’ve
never ridden in these jurisdictions before. Even most locals in
these three places, once they get out
of their own area, rely on the same bad maps as everyone else
that are designed to get you from one city to the next as quickly as
possible on the most major roads available (and damn, are they good
at that).
Sure, you see some of those side roads that regular maps mostly
don't even show as you go by them but you
have no idea which ones are crap, or just a waste of time and
expensive gas, and which ones
are solid gold (and GPS, handy as it is, can't help you here). Well not any more (see Testimonials). With Destination Highways™, make the most of your
valuable time, rubber and gas on the best possible roads in a given
area, rather than wasting them on mediocre roads and/or major
highways. All for the price of a few tanks of gas (which you soon
won’t be wasting quite so much of any more).
Here's
what non-locals riding with our books often experience:
"We even had a couple of local guys outside Sacramento
ask us where a particular road came from/went to."
"We had a couple of locals follow us and ask how we knew
about these roads. They'd lived there for years and had never found
them! We told numerous locals (including a friendly state trooper)
about the book and they all said they were going to run out and buy
it!"
"I
just retired and moved to Eureka, NorCal. I have found roads in the
area using your book that even the locals don't know about!"
And now with the Companion Maps, it’s even easier than
before to ride the best motorcycle roads. So why ride like a
tourist, when you can ride like a
local?
And you don't have to believe us, this is what reviewers
and riders say our books/maps do for them.
