Thanks Steve!
Looks like a fun side trip.

Anyone else familiar with the area that can offer suggestions for a ride, interesting place to eat, or place to get inexpensive adult libations?

PLEASE POST!!!!

For those who like to go exploring some of the best roads in the country for motorcycling, I've found this map to be indispensable:

Butler Southern Applachia G1

It's not all about twisties and technical riding, but they're on there too...
Just lots of great roads for scenery, overlooks, picnic, small hikes to see more sights, etc.

Cheers,
Steve

(I get no kickback from Butler....)

A great site for motorcycle roads is.

We have ridden out of Pigeon Forge quite a few times and followed locals through side roads many times.
We plan on doing several rides. One being Route 25 to Route 209 (the Rattler). Great ride, curves on 209 are not marked that great for speed, but a lot of fun.
We also plan on 321 and a few other roads to I-40 then south to Asheville. We get off and take route 151 (incredible road) up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Parkway back to Cherokee.
We also plan on one of our favorites, Townsend, to Foothills Parkway, to Deals Gap, Cherahola Skyway and loop back around to Townsend and back to Pigeon Forge.

Not all these roads or distances are suited for everyone, but a person can tailor your own ride to suit your own skills and how far you want to go in a day.

Thanks Rick!
As always, looking forward to seeing you and I'm very interested in the F6C and what y'all have done to her!

Cheers,
Steve

I know on one day of the rally I told my wife that we would go white water rafting and then meet up with everyone afterward.

Not sure if Teresa is coming down for the F6B Rally.
We are coming back down one month later (October) with the trailer for a Spyder Rally in Maggie Valley. She is coming down then, we are riding for several days before the Spyder rally. She has had all kinds of people from the forum when calling to order parts ask if she was coming down. She said if we did bring the trailer and Jason and I needed help at night she would come. We will see.

Clean out the garage and bring parts, stuff no longer used or needed and make a couple of dollars... We did this last year. Lets do it again. I have a couple of items I will be bringing!
