Here
in Northeast Tennessee, we live right smack in the
middle of some of the best motorcycling roads in the country.
It’s a veritable motorcycle playground. We can wake
up in the morning and before lunchtime be riding at places
like Deals Gap, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherohala Skyway,
the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Shenandoah Valley,
or any one of dozens of other lesser known but equally exciting
roads and areas. Motorcycling is exploding in popularity and
more and more riders are traveling through our area on their
way to destinations like Deals Gap or events like the Honda
Hoot.
At Motorcycle Playground.com
we want to give you the opportunity to explore some of our
“little secrets,” roads that will be well worth
the detour from your main route or make an excellent destination
for a trip. There is something to offer almost every rider,
from the “hardcore” sportbike rider to the “take-it-all-with-you-including-the-trailer”
touring rider. Most riders have heard of the Blue Ridge Parkway
and many plan to make it the featured part of a motorcycle
vacation someday, but do they know where to stay while on
their trip? Do they want to see some of the other great roads
Western North Carolina has to offer? What about the best times
to visit to avoid the road-clogging tourists or what to expect
from the weather? These are all questions we hope to help
answer.For all of you interested in Deal’s Gap, did
you know there is another road in Northeast Tennessee that
offers the same kind of excitement, a road built seemingly
with modern sportbikes in mind? Does 489 curves get your heart
pounding? If it does, see our page on US 421
When you think of Southwest Virginia,
you might think of coalmines and tobacco fields. Instead,
picture this: scenic, sweeping roads winding their way through
beautiful farmland, around Mt. Rogers National Recreation
Area, or through the Jefferson National Forest. Or how about
switchbacking your way up Hwy 160 over Black Mountain and
into Southeast Kentucky?
If you enjoy motorcycles,
then you are likely to find information at Motorcycle Playground.com
that will interest you. We ask you to visit often. We plan
to update our site regularly, bringing you news and information
on our regularly featured roads, as well as pictures and stories
about our exploits in our never-ending search for new Playgrounds.
