Customer comments on this selection.
 Great Insight
I really enjoyed reading this book. It provided insight into the world of high mileage riding. It was interesting to read about the different strategies people use when approaching the Iron Butt Rally. Ayres was a first time competitor in the IBR, but managed to do very well. I was amazed at how far he was willing to push himself to complete the rally with such a high standing.
I reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys motorcyles or long distance riding.
 Rare insight
There have been a lot of stories told and written about the Iron Butt Rally. Most of them have been from a third party view or from a historical perspective ie trying to remember what happened long after the fact.
Ron's account is as close to first person as you can get. It is the most complete account that I have read. You get a real feel for what the experience was like.
Against the Wind
Very interesting book, even if you're not into riding m/c's. If you do ride, it's got a multitude of tips for the serious rider. Great read and worth the price.
Awesome! Made me want to go out and ride!
For those who have done, would like to do, or are curious about, long distance riding, this book will likely push you to the next step! It made me want to go out and do a 24 hour, 1,500 mile ride the second I was done with it!
Very recommended reading!
Against the Wind
Against the Wind will appeal to any motorcyclist. While reading, I found myself going through roads along with Ron Ayres, the author. I strongly recommend this book, its an eye opener to those who really want to ride the wide open roads. Lots of fun and it makes you wish you were one of the riders.
