Peter Egan's "Leanings" volumes 1, 2, and 3. Editor of "Cycle World" magazine and he knows how to turn a phrase. The books are a collection of stories and memories of his years of riding. There are some good tips and tricks in there from time to time as well. "The Man Who Would Stop at Nothing: Long-Distance Motorcycling's Endless Road" <-- Side note, Written by Melissa Holbrook, same writer of "The Perfect Vehicle" Small introduction the world of Iron Butt and also a biography of John Ryan, a long distance motorcyclist with diabetes. He's set records with travel times between coasts, and from Alaska to the Florida keys. I read it to get an inspirational story, and came away with thinking this guy is dangerous as hell. He had basically forsaken everything else, including his health, to be on the road and riding. It's still a very good read, and does go into the trials and tribulations of distance riding very well. For random short stories I used to like the Brit rags, TWO (Two Wheels Only), Fast Riders, and BIKE. They are getting difficult to get off the newsstand though.

Most of em were 12$ and under or 10$ and under with a list of facilities and what not. The drat things go out of date so fast though with sites getting closed or bought out and jacking up the rates, they aren't worth really buying. Even using some of the online tools that get updated faster are still aren't "right" 3/4's of the time when you're planning a trip and call the site.
