In 3 weeks my family and I will be moving from Houston to Knoxville... I'm being transferred for work. We just took a trip up there to find a house and the roads look incredible. We don't have much to brag about here in Houston. If anyone is familiar with the area, I'd love to get some insight and suggestions. Also looking for a good adventure school/class as well.

Congratulations, wow you are going to have fun. Some of the best riding in the east is within an hour or so of Knoxville. So many roads so little time.

I'm over here in the cotton fields of West TN. You've got some great riding in your area and by now you may have done some of these routes in between unpacking boxes. US 129 (Deals Gap - Tail of the Dragon), Moonshiner 28 - Hellbender 28 (The Hellbender Salamander), Cherohala Skyway, Blue Ridge Parkway, Clingman's Dome, Foothills Parkway, and the gravel road to the Cataloochee Valley in Great Smoky Mountains NP (great place to see Elk) . When you roll through Robbinsville NC, recommend eating at the HUB. Cool covered motorcycle parking and good food. And near Robbinsville is Cheoah Dam, used in the film "The Fugitive".

Yep, you are about to move to motorcycle Mecca. Now all you need to do is find the free time to take advantage of it.

True enough for retirees. But those with full time jobs, kids, family and other hobbies/commitments it can be tough to find long stretches of time to get some good riding in.

I moved to the Chattanooga area just for the motorcycling. There are a lot of roads as good or better than the Dragon, but you'll still want to do it. Ride it on a week day and avoid the traffic and leo. Also, visit AmericaRidesMaps.com for some great rides.
