Welcome to North Georgia Motorcycles! We are glad you came by to visit.
A word from Eric!
Summertime has arrived and GREAT RIDING weather is here!
I'll keep it short and sweet here this time, as the weather is perfect and I want to be out riding my new bike! It is a time of year when dealers are offering sweet deals on new bikes, benefit rides are in full swing, everyone wants to take off for the mountains or some other favorite riding spot and life is good.
Whatever you are doing this time of year, I trust that you are enjoying time on your ride and would encourage you to check out the many organized rides that are going on. Many of them are for very worthwhile causes.
If you happened to take advantage of a new bike this season, I trust that you will have many enjoyable hours ahead of you this summer.
As always, keep the shinny side up and the rubber side down! Until the next time.
If you have any thoughts about or for the website, I would love to hear from you! We are looking forward to making 2010 a blow-out year!

SHOW US YOUR NEW BIKE!
Spring and Summertime is typically when we buy new bikes. This month I am happy to share a video of my new ride, a 2009 Honda VTX1300R. I purchased this carry over bike on June 30, 2010. Many manufacturers offer special deals on their unsold bikes this time of year.

ANOTHER GREAT SITE
While we try to offer you a great site with information that you need, we also realize that there are plenty of other great sites out there and we try to get them to use our links page. However, we also would like to help promote some Georgia sites that are really worthwhile! www.biker101.com is one such site. It is new to the cyber world and is well worth checking out. It's concept is alot like ours, but with a different fling.
FORUM BOARD
I have notice that our forum board and our free classifieds are not getting used much for the amount of users that we have come to the site. I have come to the conclusion that possibly people are not finding them on the side bar, so here are some links. Let's see if this helps.

PAST RIDES
JUNE 19, 2010 Ride to the Cherohala Skyway
On Saturday, June 19th, our group of 18 bikes and 22 riders met at Scott's and left for a full days ride to the Cherohala Skyway. Even though a couple of the bikes had to leave us at different locations along the way, we had a great ride! The weather was great for the majority of the ride with only a brief shower.
Below are some pictures from the ride:
MAY 15, 2010 Ride to the Nantahala River - N.C.
On May 15th a group of us rode to the famous white water Nantahala River located be tween Andrews and Cherokee, N.C.. We left Ellijay, travelled through Blairsville, GA and then on to Murphy, NC. After a brief stop in Murphy, we continued on through Andrews and then along the Nantahala River through the gorge. We stopped and ate lunch and visited the area where the rafting companies remove their rafts. After enjoying our time at the river, we headed back home with some of us staying overnight in cabins at the Peace Valley River Camground and Cabin Rentals just outside of Murphy, NC.. Those of us that stayed went to dinner Saturday night at Doyle's Restaurant in Murphy (I highly recommend this restaurant). We then continued on home Sunday morning.
Below are some pictures from the ride.

NOVEMBER 7, 2009 Ride to Rome, GA
The Ride on November 7th was a wonderful ride to Rome for lunch and then a ride to the "pocket" and lake Marvin. After meeting in Ellijay at Scott's for breakfast, we rode to Rome where 18 of us sat down to some good Italian food and then prepared to leave for a ride led by Danny Williams. Danny led us through the pocket and up to Lake Marvin. The day turned out to be Sunny and about 75° - a perfect day for a ride.
Below are some pictures from the ride.
RIDE ON THE CHEROHALA SKYWAY - SEPTEMBER 19, 2009
On Saturday, September 19, 2009, 10 brave individuals decided that the strong rains of the week and day were not going to discourage them from making the long anticipated trip over the Cherohala Skyway. The rains had come and flooded Atlanta and much of North Georgia and yet some came from the metro area to ride!
The group picture before departing.
The beautiful mountain scenery along the way. At the top of the Skyway the temperature was 40°+.
