Mike and Kim have made a habit of traveling the world on adventure motorcycles. From the wilds of Alaska to the tip of South America, they've wandered along gravel and paved roads taking in all that they see and making it their mission to learn about the people of the world. On this adventure, they each rent BMW motorcycles in Spain to wander discover Europe for themselves. Traveling through Spain, France, Andorra, Switzerland and Italy, they travel over tiny single lane roads, over mountains and alongside raging rivers to visit tiny towns, meet the locals and take in some of the world's most spectacular scenery. With no planned route, they are free to wander and discover what different cultures are all about. Along the way, through their adventures they learn about the people of Europe and more than a little about themselves. Take the handlebars, push the starter button, shift into first gear and seize the the opportunity to wander with them. You don't know where you'll end up on this ride. By the time you have finished this journey, you will understand why the saying "Not All Wanderers Are Lost" is true. Come and join Mike and Kim and ride to adventure.

Marc Marquez is the new motorcycle racing icon, the very young rider who has changed the face of MotoGP by winning the world title at just 21 years old. His story is told in this book by Marco Masetti, the well-established motorcycle racing journalist, who closely follows MotoGP as his publication's correspondent. Masetti has literally seen Marquez grow from when he was a little boy with racing in his blood to when he became the sport's sensation on two wheels, a true heir to Valentino. As well as this world championship-winning rider, whose career has been nothing short of startling, away from the racetrack, the man and his own personality emerge. And all of this is told amid exceptionally spectacular pictures by outstanding photographers Gigi Soldano, Tino Martino and Jaime Olivares.

Many beginning street motorcycle riders, as well as more experienced riders than care to admit it, have issues, close-calls, and crashes that they need not have. All it takes to avoid these issues is training. During the author's years as a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Rider Coach, he noticed that the same problems kept showing up time and again. When he traced the problem back to it's core, it all came down to the student's level of comfort. He also noticed that humor, mixed with a bit of absurdity, was a good way to break the student from their anxiety and redirect their focus. "The Realm of the Cheetah" is a collection of hints to help the motorcyclist deal with the issues of staying safe while riding, as they reduce their anxiety level and increase their skill and confidence.

When you're out riding, things happen. If you keep at it, everything happens . Thus goes the simple wisdom of Foster Kinn in Freedom's Rush: Tales from The Biker and The Beast. Join Kinn as he rides his motorcycle throughout the western half of the continental United States with an occasional detour into Canada and experience with him all that can happen in a "day in the life" of a biker: "Sometimes you're hungry, sometimes you eat too much. Sometimes you're unbearably hot, sometimes painfully cold. You lose things and get lost; you find things and find your way. You fall in love, you find things to despise. You bleed and you heal; you get sick, then you're invincible. The rains pelt, the snows blind, the winds make you helpless. You ride through gorgeous scenery and through desolate wastelands; all places are the way they're supposed to be and they're all perfect. It's life in microcosm." In part a celebration of the grandness of this wide, wonderful world, in part a meditation on the meaning of freedom and our sacred right to create, you will laugh with Kinn at all the wonderfully wacky characters he meets on the road, and you will be dazzled by the utter joy he finds in the simple act of riding a Harley. When you read the last line, you will know what he means when he writes: As long as Freedoms exist, we will ride; As long as we ride, Freedoms will exist."

"Live to Ride "is pure adrenaline--a full-throttle exploration of motorcycles that pushes to the limit, with heart-pounding accounts of riding the greatest bikes of all time, all over the world.

"Live to ride, ride to live." For many motorcycle riders, these words express life's guiding principle. Just take a look at the patch emblazoned on the jackets of legions of riders. Whether they're roaring down an empty highway on two wheels at an insane speed, hopping on for a few mind-boggling loops of motocross, joining in the "rolling thunder" of a veritable outlaw motorcycle club, or just cruising on a Harley on a Sunday afternoon, motorcyclists of all stripes share a common love of the freedom that is riding.

Wayne Johnson, a lifelong motorcycle-lover and acclaimed writer, takes us around the globe and onto the terrain where the most extreme, thrilling forms of riding happen. Johnson shows where it all began more than a hundred years ago when the first motorcycle evolved from the bicycle and lands us on the track today with some of the world's highest-paid athletes-- professional motorcycle road racers. From there we go inside radically different competitions like the vertigo-inspiring "Widowmaker Hillclimb" and the fastest land racing on the planet at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Johnson also offers an inside look at the legendarily secretive culture of biker clubs with firsthand accounts of his own wild rides with an outlaw club. In every one of these venues, you aren't just passing through as an observer--you are on a bike, racing across new and undiscovered country, the horizon your only destination.

If you have ever wondered what it's like to climb on a motorcycle and feel its engine roar to life, or have actually done it and felt the rush of flying off into the wild blue yonder, or have simply been intrigued by this iconic part of American culture and history, hold on tight for this irresistible, one-of-a-kind journey into motorcycling.

In a day when motorcycling is not only becoming an economical way of transportation, riders are also discovering the joy of riding for pleasure. This book is written for those that want to take off and find some scenic rides in the North Georgia, Southeastern Tennessee and Southwestern North Carolina areas. I have included some motorcycling stories for your reading pleasure including a comical take on my son's first long distance motorcycle trip. The chapters have been kept to a minimal write-up description of the rides, but yet they give you a feel for the ride area. Each chapter also includes photos from the ride routes, as well as, a map and turn by turn directions.
