Topic: Cherohala Skyway
Self improvement is a never ending process. Learning from your mistakes is critical. To just simply ignore the things that happen in your life as coincidence is wrong. In my opinion, I believe that things happen for a reason, and I’ve got to recognize that. I don’t want to be better than everybody else, I just want to be better than I was yesterday. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | No Comments
Dodging the Roadkill: Losing My Mojo
For the first couple of weeks I was back in the “saddle” I was tentative and apprehensive. I was a different biker for a while, until I could get my “mojo” back. If we’re honest, I would venture a guess that this has happened to all of you at one time or another. Maybe when you dropped your bike, or you had an accident, or maybe you had a “close call” and you lived to tell the tale. Whatever it was, it’s not a real good feeling and you start second guessing yourself. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | No Comments
Dodging the Roadkill: My Motorcycle, My Music, My Memories
And deep down inside, so do you. I’m an early morning rider. I will get up and hit my favorite coffee shop, then take off for a couple of hours. I’m also a HUGE music lover. Forty years on the radio will do that to you. I have a thumb drive filled with the music of my life. I was living in Europe as a young man when the Beatles and the great British Invasion landed, so, my music is VERY important to me. Now my motorcycle and my music are helping me relive my life, one song at a time. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | No Comments

Dodging the Roadkill: The Hub in Robbinsville North Carolina
Just down the road, not even 100 yards, we discovered The Hub. We were VERY satisfied at what we found. Here’s the back story: Five years ago, Greg McCoy was running a VERY successful motorcycle rental business. A friend of his approached him about getting into the restaurant business. Greg HATES to cook, but the two of them ventured on and The Hub was created. It started as a coffee shop, but that didn’t last long. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | No Comments
Dodging the Roadkill: Weekend In The Smokies
We left early Friday morning, and right off the jump, I pulled my back out. It was just a quirky thing when I raised up, “BOOM” I had a knot in my back. If you’ve ever had a problem with your sciatica then you know what I’m talking about. It didn’t bother me while I was in the saddle, but as soon as I stood up, I could barely walk. GREAT! «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | No Comments
Dodging the Roadkill: Soaked
The Tail of the Dragon, the Devil’s Triangle, the Foothills Parkway, the Cherohala Skyway and more were ahead of us and we couldn’t get there fast enough.

Dodging the Roadkill: Taking The Corners
I posed this question on my Facebook page the other day and got a variety of answers. All of them great. The reason I did that was because I know a lot of VERY experienced riders follow my blog and I attribute my growth as a rider to heading the advice from all of them. I ride with experienced riders and they tell me things they notice, and I observe them and learn from them. I love this journey so much, I want to be as good a biker as I can be. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | No Comments
