What about THAT one? Stranded rider impulse buys a new Beemer

March 11, 2022 by Joe Sokohl

No-no-no. Not now. Not here. Not with nearby thunderstorms. Just over that mountain, on the other side of the interstate. Weather radar glowing orange and red. Damn. Damn-damn-damn.  Switch on. Bike in neutral. Clutch in. Press the starter switch …. Clunk, cuh-Clank.  Press the starter again.  Clunk… cah-ah-ah-Clank.  Switch off. Switch back on. “Ready to … [Read more...] about What about THAT one? Stranded rider impulse buys a new Beemer

The Globe: An over-nighter deep in Pisgah

To celebrate our anniversary, my wife and I packed both … [Read more...] about Sleeping in a treehouse, taming the Dragon

The back of the Dragon: A (multi-) peak experience

March 11, 2022 by Michael Abraham

Perfection is a conceptual thing. It doesn’t exist in nature, but for those of us who enjoy motorcycling, the Back of the Dragon, cutting north-south across the “waist” of Virginia, comes damn close.  Bring your “A” game when you come to ride the Dragon. The challenges are constant and intense. You’ll cross three mountains — Clinch, Brushy and Walker — on your trip over … [Read more...] about The back of the Dragon: A (multi-) peak experience
