Georgia On My Mind


As riders in Georgia, we have a huge advantage.
We have some of the best riding spots right here at home.
A few of my favorite areas are Savannah, Suches, Dahlonega, Helen, and Hiawassee.
In our state, we can see the coast, mountains, forests, and long winding roads.




There are many old state routes, some popular and some forgotten.


Highway 278 is a beautiful road for a westward jaunt that goes the scenic route all the way to Alabama.
Highway 411 is another long road that feels like it was made for motorcycles.
Others are Highway 60, 53, 27, 5, 78, and many, many more.



Whether you are planning a day trip or a weekend excursion, Georgia has a lot of roads that are ready to take you to your next adventure!
I've lived in other states but will always view Georgia as home....a motorcyclist's paradise!

What A Trip!!



Have you ever just packed a bag, hopped on your bike, and hit the road???
The best times I've ever, EVER had on a motorcycle were just that random and spontaneous!
I have left town without planning a destination at all.



 I'd pack a bag with a few changes of clothes, a few necessities, & a map, & hit the road taking old state routes rather than the super slabs.


"A Perfect Picture" by Dave Barnhouse

It gives me peace of mind & is the best weapon against stress I've ever found!
There is something serene in a road trip that, to this day, I've not been able to find a substitute.
On the road, you learn alot about people and sometimes a little bit about yourself as well.



Rollin' down the road with a song in your head, your hand on the throttle, & accompanied by the rumble of your Harley's exhaust, is 2 wheeled therapy in it's purist form.



Sadly, many people have not experienced this since we live in world inundated with schedules, planning, meetings, along with the 'rat race'  technology has created.



I call these trips 'Hobo Runs" as they are reminiscent of the days folks would pack a bag, hop a train & search for opportunity, adventure, & sometimes their next meal.




Life is a trip...so take one!
Don't let overplanning keep you from the relaxation of the open road.
It's calling YOU!!!
