Michael Bishop recently started a web site called IndianaMotorcycleRider.com. It includes videos taken from Michael's Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe. (A beautiful bike, by the way).
The videos are well edited and give you an appreciation of the great roads and scenery that Indiana has to offer. Many of us who live on the 'left' or 'right' coasts have this vision of Indiana and the other mid-west states as flat land with corn fields. These videos will dispel that vision and give you the urge to get on the bike and head to Indiana for some good ridin'.
In addition to the videos, Michael has some photos, a discussion forum, a webcam, and a chat forum for his visitors. Be sure to check out IndianaMotorcycleRider.com. It will be worth your time.

Motorcycle Roads in Europe
If you planning on vacationing and riding in Europe, I recommend that you check-out BestBikingRoads.com.
It has over 400 roads and routes listed in Western Europe and Scandinavia. The roads are submitted by riders and include a map, description, and rating. It is a relatively new website, so the number of roads listed should continue to grow.
In order to submit a road or route, you must register as a member (registration is free). You can, however, view road information without registering.
The website is very professional and well laid out. It is worth a visit even if you are not planning a vacation or riding in Europe.

Arkansas Motorcycle Riding News
I recently signed up for Arkansas Motorcycle Riding News, a free newsletter via email, that is offered by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. Received my first newsletter recently, and it outlined various motorcycle rallys scheduled for September. (I assume I'll receive a newsletter each month). It included some details on each event and a link to the event website.
Looks like a worthwhile newsletter for those who live in Arkansas and surrounding states or if you plan on doing some riding or touring in that area. You can sign-up for the newsletter at http://www.arkansas.com/newsletter/.
