ith lots of large com-
panies, relocation is
part of the game if you
aspire to move up the corporate
ladder, and my career with Amer-
ican Honda was no different.
From one day to the next, you
never knew when you might get
that call telling you that your next
assignment was in a new city
far away. I always tried to make
the best of it but finding things
to do and making new friends
can either be fun and exciting or
daunting and frightening, de-
pending on your approach. One
thing that never changed for me
was the urgent need to find new
places to ride. No matter where I
was living, I needed good roads
and a few nice trails or forest
service roads to keep me sane.
Midway through my career
with Honda, I was relocated to
Alpharetta, Georgia, and the
hunt was on for new roads and
new friends. Shortly after my
move to Georgia, I was working
the Honda display at Daytona
Bike Week when I met a group
of guys who all rode in together
but who were each from differ-
ent parts of the country. They
explained to me that they all met
and became friends at a place
called Two Wheels of Suches
(TWOS, as the regulars know it),
which was not far from my new
home in Alpharetta. They invited
me to join them on one of their
camping trips, with the prom-
ise that they'd show me all the
good roads in the North Georgia
Two Miles
From TWOS
Probably not far from your home is
a place something like this—a place,
any place, where fellow motorcycle
enthusiasts gather around, talk
motorcycles and ride.
