If you’re a motorcyclist looking for a fun afternoon of tales from the road, how to beat Murphy’s Laws of motorcycling, and other hilarious topics, visit the Fauquier County Library in Warrenton, on Sunday, Aug. 27.

A lifelong motorcyclist who has traveled on two wheels in 48 states and Europe, Hagebak served for more than a decade on metro-Atlanta’s motorcycle squad during his 27-year tenure with the Cobb County, Ga. force.

His talk will cover topics he calls “dealing with the lawless,” “Murphy’s Laws of motorcycling,” “meeting a lawman,” and “the art of the wave.” He’ll also share his experiences, road lies, and anecdotes from researching and writing the three guidebooks in his Motorcycle Adventures series, which cover routes he recommends in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Hagebak will be selling and signing copies of all three books at the event.
