Wayne Busch (a.k.a. Smoky)

Wayne Busch (a.k.a. Smoky) has introduced thousands of motorcyclists to the best two lane mountain roads in the eastern US and helps them get the most enjoyment and adventure out of their travels. His easy to use pocket maps focus on the most exciting and memorable rides. Maximize your valuable time and expand your experiences.

When Wayne started producing maps for his tour clients, motels and businesses wanted them, and the ball started rolling. Millions come to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tail of the Dragon, and the Cherohala Skyway. It’s the tip of the iceberg. There are thousands more miles of undiscovered two lane treasures. Longtime visitors quickly discover great rides they’ve missed or overlooked, roads which could take years to find on their own. Wayne persists in searching them out and gathers them in a format that is comprehensive, easy to use, and inexpensive.

His maps include the best rides adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway and more than 3000 miles of the best two lane twisties including North Georgia, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and more. America Rides Maps is adding and expanding with coverage of Sturgis, South Dakota, the mountains of West Virginia, and beyond.

Wayne travels thousands of miles each year, selecting the finest rides, then packages them in a compact and functional format designed exclusively for the motorcyclist. He has been featured in Western North Carolina Magazine, the Smoky Mountain News, Full Throttle Magazine, worked with Speed TV / Speed Channel, the Maggie Valley and Avery County Chambers of Commerce, and the Haywood Country TDA promoting the great riding found nearby.

One client writes -Your maps made it very easy to get around and enjoy the SCENIC routes not the traffic clogged main roads. We can’t wait to go back again. THANKS!!!!!” - Ed F., Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
