This blockbuster issue of Rider magazine is loaded with great stories for fans of riding and the open road. For our feature road test we took a pair of fully loaded bagger touring bikes—the Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited and Indian Roadmaster—and pitted them against Honda's flagship Gold Wing GL1800 over 1,200 miles in the mountains and deserts of California. The results will probably surprise you. Never-before-published archival photos highlight a chronicle of the first woman to ride cross-country early in the last century, and one of our best contributors connected many of the great roads in Vermont by visiting artisanal cheese farms—yum yum. Fledgling motorcycle campers will appreciate our big guide to what you should take on your first outing, and the August issue has more than the usual assortment of handy tips, tricks, answers, gear reviews and great rides for your summer pleasure.
