A drive-in where everything, from the menu's items to the table settings, is about pork, a yacht club without water, a hotel with the best bar/restaurant/ lodging combination that just happens to be surrounded by mountains full of twisting two lane roads, and a grill that's claimed to be "the best damn bar in the West" are all here for the riding and the eating.

Foreword to Backroad Bob’s

Roads & Road Houses

By 1990, I had ridden motorcycles through every state east of the Mississippi River, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and five Canadian provinces, but I wanted to do more. I wanted to explore the back roads across America, see the Isle of Man TT Races, examine everything that's foreign at a European Grand Prix, and experience the canopied forests, cascading streams, and towering mountains of Pennsylvania's state forests.

Over the past thirty-eight years I've done all this and taken thousands of photos of the places I've been and made millions of memories of the unforgettable people I've met. Along the way, I've recorded my experiences in hundreds of magazine articles, and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles by motorcycle in the pursuit of my dreams. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, then these articles are a valuable tool to assist you in fulfilling your dreams too.

The resulting articles have appeared in American Road Racing, Backroads, Blue Ribbon Coalition Magazine, CC Motorcycle News, Cycle News, Motorcyclist, PowerTech Quarterly, Rider, RoadBike, Sport Touring News, STAReview, Thumper News, Thunder Press, Turbo News, Trail Rider, Twistgrip, Winding Road Motorcycle Times, and the book Turbocharging, Supercharging, and Nitrous Oxide.

These articles are the fruits of a trial and error tree planted decades ago. The bad roads, the dead end trails, and the nasty places have been left out. What remains is a four-decade distillation of motorcycling in 38 American states, five Canadian provinces, five national forests, ten Pennsylvania state forests, and eight foreign countries. These articles contain valuable information that will save you time and money and enable you to efficiently plan your own adventures while avoiding the mistakes I've made. Let each article be a preview of your own adventures. - BRB

Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank everyone that ever rode with me, invited me on a ride, gave me an idea for a ride, helped me when I’ve been stranded alongside a road or trail, or struck up a conversation with me when I’ve been on the road or the trail. There are thousands of you, but the ones I remember the most are: Joe, Robert, Paul, Ron, Barry, Bob, Tom, Sydney, Stewart, Sam, Oop, Moose, Cong, Lucas, Rock, Randy, Mark, Gary, George, Allen, Steve, and Dad - great riders all. The editors that thought I had something to contribute deserve a tip of the hat too.

I’d also like to thank everyone that ever fought for this great country. You have done, and are doing, a job that many Americans don’t have the nerve or the will to do. We should all be thankful for your sacrifices. I’ve had the good fortune to travel outside the United States and I’ve enjoyed immensely the foreign places I’ve been, people I’ve met, and things I’ve done, but there is no better feeling than returning to the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Spending weeks on the road or days on the trail can be surprisingly isolating, but I’ve managed to make hundreds of new friends along the way. Get out there and make a few new friends of your own. - BRB
