Check out www.ironbutt.com for some ideas. I realize you're doing a shorter trip, but this can give you some ideas for packing, what to take, etc.

Just pick a direction and go. Fuck everything else... And stay off the slab.

Ok destination Chicago.....yea It's nothing fancy but I gotta few friends up there. So I'd have a place to stay for a while.

So anyone in IN, IL or MO that can help me with a few good roads in the area I'd be grateful. Not sure which route I'm going to take yet haven't gotten out a map. :rockwoot:

From where in TN? Once you get a bit north of TN the roads will be relatively flat & boring for the most part. In my mind, good motorcycle roads=twisty/scenic/mountainous.

I think the 'best' motorcycle road trip (twisty/scenic) from the TN area would be a good loop thru east-TN/north-GA/west-NC/southwest-VA. :rockwoot:

Yea I'm just south of nashville. Love the roads around my place and finding new ones is always a good time.

But yea east TN and down into GA are great. Went for a ride with a couple buddies from tour last week and found some amazing roads heading to GA.

Cool - wherever you head for this trip, be safe & have fun!

Also, since you're near Nashville (as myself & my g/f, HokieDNA01): http://www.meetup.com/Nashville-Sportbike-Group/
A very frequent meeting point for regular rides is Puckett's, in Leiper's Fork. Come on out! :D

I love Puckett's!!!! hit me up sometime I'm always down for that.
