Motorcycle Adventures in the Southern Appalachians: Asheville Nc, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Nc High Country Book 2 [Paperback]

Hawk Hagebak (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 2009

Hawk Hagebak's Motorcycle Adventures guidebooks cover the best rides in the Southern Appalachians, from the mountains of North Georgia to the highlands of West Virginia. In between the tight turns, sweeping curves, covered bridges, tiny towns, and mountain passes, you'll enjoy local eateries, visit motorcycle-only resorts, take in the attractions, and soak up the world class scenery. Now updated, Hawk's second book in the series takes riders through the world's shortest tunnel at Tennessee's Backbone Rock, and from the cosmopolitan streets of Asheville to the mile-high wonders of the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are 27 rides in all, along with places to stay, play, eat, and shop.

Editorial Reviews

Review

...will make a lot of other motorcycle touring/sport touring guides harder to tolerate by comparison; it's definitely a front-runner in terms of quality...few provide the depth of information this one does. --Motorcycle Consumer News

If there were a New York Times bestseller list for motorcycle books, Hawk's guides would be at the top. We just can't keep them on the shelf. --BMW Ducati, Charlotte, NC

We have two of these guides now and really enjoy them. He has a knack of pointing out sights, restaurants, etc that we really love....off the beaten path stuff that we never would have known about!! The author has a great attitude and totally understands what people love about riding! Highly recommended!!

This book has some very interesting information on the areas of western NC. The details are accurate and I do plan to take the motorcycle tours as the book describes. This book is ideal for anyone planning to visit western NC, motorcycle or not. If you live here like I do, you will still get some useful information.
