DAYTONA BIKE WEEK ETC

I feel like I properly broke in my new Honda Gold Wing with a 2,600-mile ride down to Florida—and what a trip it turned out to be. My first stop was Daytona Bike Week, where I arrived on the final weekend. Big mistake. The crowds were so thick it was nearly impossible to get around. Lesson learned:...

COOTER'S PLACE, LURAY, VA

b003iimage.jpg Today was one of those perfect riding days. Maybe it was the sunny 70-degree weather, the cruise along Skyline Drive, the laughs at Cooter’s Place, or simply the good company—but whatever it was, it made for a truly great day. We enjoyed a beautiful ride down Fort Valley Road to Coot...

NEW RIVER GORGE "BRIDGE JUMPING"
