Sam Allen, the author of the Motorcycle Party Guide to Route 66, has been traveling the Mother Road for over 25 years, but he had never ridden it from Chicago to Santa Monica in a single trip. In 2011, he found himself with a chunk of free time, so he decided to travel Route 66 from start to finish and to record his adventures along the way. That first trip wound up being the first of 10 that Sam took gather the information and take the photos that appear in the book. During his travels, Sam reviewed many different Route 66 resources. He found that those with the most information about Route 66 often did not have many photos, and when photos were included, they were black-and-white rather than color. Books with color photographs tended to be short on information. Some books were narrowly focused, such as those limited to listings of restaurants and motels. He found only a single guidebook of Route 66 dedicated motorcycle riders, and as useful as it was, it was 10 years out of date. The Motorcycle Party Guide to Route 66 puts all this information in a single volume. But it is more than just a simple directional guide and listing of Route 66 sites. This book is about how to explore the best of what Route 66 has to offer and about having as much fun as possible during that exploration. The book includes Sam's personal experiences in visiting traditional sites as well as his recommendations regarding the sites worth seeing, the sites worth skipping, the bars and restaurants worth visiting and the motels that offer the best Route 66 experience. He gives an honest, rather than romanticized, description of what Route 66 explorers will find today, as well as information on traditional Route 66 icons that have disappeared. He also chronicles many of his Route 66 adventures, like when he was in Joplin, Missouri, on the morning of the 2011 tornado that destroyed several square miles of homes and businesses. There also was the time he accidentally locked himself out of his hotel room in St. Louis dressed only in his birthday suit. If you want to explore Route 66 and party down at the best bars, restaurants and biker joints along the way, this is the book for you. Buy it now, fire up your two-wheeler (or hop in your car) and hit the road today.
