What's with you guys? The world doesn't end at your shores y'know. Try flying overseas and renting a bike.. How about the rugged Scottish Highlands, The French/Italian alps, The Meditteranean coast, Australia's vast surf &amp\\;\\\\\\; New Zealands openness.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Try spreading your wings to the reast of the world..
&nbsp\\;
I travel all over the world for business and I totaly agree with you there are some really nice places to see, however, with the value of the US dollar being as it is, it becomes cost prohibitive.&nbsp\\; All the Europeans are coming&nbsp\\;to the US&nbsp\\;and spending thier Pounds and Euro.

Our group just got back from a great weekend in the North Carolina/Tennessee mountains.&nbsp\\; We stayed in Gatlinburg and did a 220-mile loop and took in the Cherohala Skyway, Tail of the Dragon and the Smoky Mountains parkway.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; If you stay another day, the Blue Ridge Parkway is only an hour away and you can take it as far as you want to ride.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Charlotte would be a good place to fly into and you can rent at Harley-Davidson of Charlotte or Carolina Harley Davidson in Gastonia.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

+1 with highwayking...I prefer staying in Asheville, NC. All the primo riding areas there, you can hit South Carolina, Georgia, Tennesee, Kentucky, Virgina and the famous Blue Ridge Parkway within hours.
