With a landscape dominated by the Appalachian Mountains to the east, rivers and streams to the west and dense, hilly forests in the central part of the state, Tennessee has all of the geographical and geological ingredients needed to give birth to some truly epic motorcycle roads. With such a varying landscape from east to west, Tennessee provides a full spectrum of options when it comes to motorcycle rides. Are you seeking out intense, twisting roads that will keep you on your toes? Easy going, scenic roads that allow you to take in the natural beauty of the state and enjoy interesting destinations along the way? Or maybe a bit of both! Whatever kind of mood you’re in, there is a great motorcycle route in Tennessee that is just right for you.
Planning a motorcycle trip can be both a time consuming and stressful endeavor, especially if planning a ride in a state or area that is new to you.

Most of the state of Tennessee has a humid subtropical climate, so cool winters and warm summers allow for riding the state’s best motorcycle roads virtually year-round (as long as you’re properly prepared). If riding during the colder months, be prepared for wet weather by packing in some quality rain gear. I can tell you from personal experience -There are few things that can ruin the mood of a ride faster than being cold and wet! During the summer months, be sure to bring water with you on your ride, whether via water bottles or a hydration system. Utilizing a layering system and/or vented gear is essential, as this can help you adapt to changing temperatures and conditions throughout the day. Always check the weather forecast ahead of time so that there are no surprises while you’re on the road!
Containing 12 national parks in addition to over 50 state parks and countless historical sites, there are a great number of awesome things to see and do in the state of Tennessee. Some of the greatest hits include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Stones River National Battlefield, Fall Creek Falls State Park, as well as the many historic and unique city centers throughout the state. If whiskey is your thing you can visit and tour more than 20 distilleries via the “Tennessee Whiskey Trail” including Jack Daniel distillery, the oldest registered distillery in the United States. Although we strongly encourage spirited riding, we are strongly against mixing spirits and motorcycling! That being said, make sure you put these destinations at the end of your day’s ride. If you’ve never been to Tennessee, a visit to the state’s capital is a must. Nashville, known as Music City, is home to a number of famous music venues and museums as well as the Country Music Hall of fame. There’s a lot to experience in Tennessee - Let us help you make the most out of your next ride in the state!
