InZane 14 will be the awesome motorcycle playground surrounding Asheville, NC. The Ground Zero hotel is in Asheville; we are not releasing the name of the ground zero hotel just yet, because they are not ramped up to start taking reservations; also, we still have some final details to nail down.
Of course, y'all already know the dates... June 9-13; early bird night on the 8th. See everyone in June... WooooooHooooo!!!

Asheville - great location for riders.
So many good roads in every direction.
Anyone want advice on roads we kinda locals are only too ready to help.
Word of warning.
Some of the roads can be challenging for flat landers.
Not deriding your ability just a friendly word of warning.

A ride to the highest peak east of the Mississippi is a must on a clear day. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Asheville,+NC&daddr=Mount+Mitchell+State+Park,+North+Carolina+128,+Burnsville,+NC&hl=en&sll=35.172054,-83.298769&sspn=0.045534,0.066175&geocode=FTIjHwIdQV0U-ykJbw88qYxZiDFdOjQGwTHvlA%3BFYWvIQIdu6EY-yGTatgbQwwMXSlZedc-3QZaiDGTatgbQwwMXQ&oq=mount+mitch&t=h&mra=ls&z=11http://www.romanticasheville.com/mtmitchell.htmThis is a dirt forest road only for the adventurous. Can be done on a Valkyrie but not for the faint of heart ESPECIALLY after this rainy season.

Alright!!! I live right next door in Fletcher. One of my favorite runs is down Hwy 9 from Chimney Rock to Black Mountain. But really, just pick any two lane road and have fun. I also have tools, motorcycle lift and a trailer in case someone needs help. Thanks, David in Fletcher NC. |

Coming from the west on I 40? The gorge is a rush. Get in the left lane up against the concrete wall and feel what it like to play at NASCAR on 2 wheels |
