The motorcycle byways of the Southern Appalachians are classic: Georgia 60, the notorious 'Dragon, ' and the Cherohala Skyway. Ride to the top of Georgia's Brasstown Bald and over Tennessee's Lookout Mountain. Cruise remote back roads to Highlands, NC, highest incorporated town in the East, or tour the Chickamauga Battlefield. Spend a day seeing the sights of Chattanooga. Along the way enjoy local eateries and B&Bs, visit motorcycle-only resorts, and soak in the world-class scenery. This guide recommends 26 rides with information on road conditions, restaurants, lodging, and attractions. Each route description includes easy-to-read maps with complete directions for each ride, liberally sprinkled with the author's special brand of humor and practical advice on motorcycling etiquette, handling a breakdown, avoiding traffic tickets, and more.

Motorcyclists who think they have the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia all figured out have another thing coming. In his third guide, Hawk Hagebak takes riders from bustling Market Square in downtown Roanoke, VA to the giant ridgetop windmills outside rural Davis, WV, and from the scenic wonder of the Natural Bridge to the engineering wonder of the New River Bridge. Outlining 25 routes, Hagebak chronicles a classic feud over a county seat, how French engineers came to build a road across Virginia, and the way coal mining changed the face of West Virginia for better and for worse. In between the tight turns, sweeping curves, covered bridges, tiny towns, and mountain passes of the Central Appalachians, he imparts tips on where to eat, stay, play, and relax.

Nothing could be finer than riding in the North Carolina mountains--and southwest Virginia, and East Tennessee.

This guide includes 26 rides in all, from 16 to 144 miles. Sample the culinary delights of the region, visit motorcycle-only resorts, and take advantage of this book's complete directions, easy to read maps, road conditions, motorcycle laws for the Southeastern states, and more--all liberally sprinkled with the author's special brand of humor and practical advice.
