Motorcycle Journeys Through the Appalachians
by Dale Coyner
  The best motorcycling in the East is tucked away deep in the mid-coast's Appalachian mountains. Motorcycle Journeys Through the Appalachians will take you to the greatest roads and roadhouses that only the locals, like author Dale Coyner, know about. The ribbons of tangled roads that weave from Pennsylvania to the Carolinas are now yours for the taking with an expert as your guide.
Inside you'll find tips, roads, and trips that will make your journey to the Appalachians unforgettable. Coyner has found all the best routes through Pennsylvania, all the best cooking in North Carolina, and all the reasons why West Virginia never disappoints passionate motorcyclists. Amish farmers, bluegrass music, Elvis memorabilia, remnants of the War Between The States—Coyner has found them all. He'll help you get to, and through, everything that's worth seeing.
This book is packed with colorful maps, colorful photos, and colorful Coyner humor that will have you laughing out loud. Coyner tips you to the best places to eat, shop, sleep, gas up, and, of course, ride.
