Solo Motorcycle Trip to the Great Smoky Mountains!

I'm headed down to the Smoky Mountains for a short but sweet solo motorcycle trip! This area, draped between eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina, is home to some of the best motorcycle roads in the United States. Even if you don't ride the most popular roads in the area like the Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, Foothills Parkway, or the Moonshiner 28, there is still SO many great roads to ride and things to do!

Today's road trip takes us over the Pisgah Highway, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and US 441 through Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Waterfalls, bears, burgers, mountain streams, and great riding awaits!

🎥 All riding footage in this video was filmed with the Insta360 X5 action camera! Check out their Motorcycle Bundle Kits here: https://www.insta360.com/sal/x5?utm_t...
