I would recommend Smoky Mountain HD in Maryville...Great dealership...
For BBQ I would suggest this joint just off I-75 at the Sweetwater exit, going North towards Sweetwater...I have never eaten there personally but everytime I go by there it's PACKED...Also for a little different BBQ try Ott's BBQ in Knoxville, just off I-75/40 at Watt Road in Dixie Lee Junction, then there is Deadend BBQ off of Sutherland Ave...Then of course you have the usuals...Calhoun's, Dave's, and Buddy's BBQ...

Here's a link to MORE eatery's http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/...arbecue-bible/

Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson is your best bet. Never rented from them, but that's where my Roadglide came from. Really nice folks to deal with, and a great shop. As far as BBQ, being a Knoxville boy who loves to eat I've tried about every BBQ place in town. My personal favorite 2 places: 1. M&M Catering on Middlebrook, it's take out only but will knock your socks off. Anything on the menu is great, but if you want something a little different try the "Pigburger" it's amazing. 2. Sweet Pea's BBQ on Maryville Pike. It's on the lake right at the Knox County/Blount County line. It's a great kinda outta the way place, killer brisket, smoked wings, and chopped pork sandwiches.
