Cloudland Canyon: Stunning views and tumbling waters

December 24, 2020 by Editor Leave a Comment

By Shawn Lewers I left my home in Florida ostensibly to meet my youngest child for the weekend. She now lives most of the year in Wyoming and is only “back east” occasionally. However, my motives were duplicitous in that I convinced her to meet me at a destination that I have been trying to visit for at least 15 years, but never quite made it.

A man with his thumb extended stands beside a desert highway

Eight men circled one man in the parking lot of the Inca Inn Motel in Moab, Utah. All were laughing and grinning.

Evening comes early here in the shadows of the trees, and even on summer days the breeze off the creek in front of Duncan’s house is … [Read more...] about Forest rides are forever: Woodcarver Steve Duncan recalls the Blue Ridge trails of his youth

A motorcycle in front of an illuminated gas station at night

The darkness sweeps beside me, broken only by the single headlamp and the glow from the gauge cluster. Traffic disappears and the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 seems a bit more eager thanks to the cool night air it’s inhaling. Sometimes I become so accustomed to the sensation of riding a motorcycle I fail to take a moment to enjoy it, especially when you ride nearly every … [Read more...] about Respect the bike, respect the road and relax

A shakedown run to Wayah Road and Tapoco Lodge

November 19, 2020 by Editor Leave a Comment

Wayah Road near Nantahala Lake is a favorite route for many motorcyclists. By Michael E. Gouge Old things call to me. Ramshackle barns, well-worn leather jackets, bypassed highways – each draw my attention and induce romantic notions of a past either real or imagined. Such an affliction can cause men to do irrational things, like buying a 34-year old Honda CB750SC that … [Read more...] about A shakedown run to Wayah Road and Tapoco Lodge
