Gotta go to Beale Street.....and let her dance on the stage at the Coyote Ugly Bar. Get to Beale Street in the afternoon and stay into the evening. It is fun!

I'll be following this thread. Last time I was in Memphis the manager of the motel was a retired Memphis cop. He said to leave the bike here and to take a cab to Beale St. He said there was only around a two block area that was safe. I did ride to Graceland to pay homage to the King. I rode back late and was amazed at how dangerous the drivers were. It was like everyone was driving on crack. Maybe they were.

I plan on another trip down highway 61 then back up the Trace in the fall. An overnight in Memphis is planned. Good places to stay where the bike is safe and I don't have to have a gun would be nice.

I love the dry rub ribs at the Rendezvous downtown. It's only about a block from the Peabody Hotel with the ducks...I would hit there for sure.
Good luck and have a good time.

Stayed at the Peabody, saw the ducks, ate at the Blues City Cafe, good ribs and a good desert later that evening. Took a walk down to the River to watch the sunset, then took a buggy ride around the Beale Street area. Listened to some good music at the park on Beale St. Nice ride, almost 700 miles round trip, left Friday morning, had to come back Sat. may do it again one day.
