The AMA is a valuable resource and organization for motorcyclists' rights, pending legislation, and the community in general. I joined over twenty years ago. I'm a big supporter.

Motorcycle Consumer News is an advertising-free magazine that is invaluable for getting honest, unbiased reviews of bikes and gear. Also articles about routes, places to stay, techniques, etc. I've had a subscription for more years than I can remember. Online community also.
