Glad for you -- here in Colorado we've recently had some nice days, but will get 2"+ of snow on Sunday. Trees don't seem to bud out until late April/early May once the ground starts to warm up. Enjoy where you are, it is beautiful.
Yes sir, great riding area.. I did it after you show us the area last year. I stayed in Tellico Plains and took 68 down to 74. Then across to 30 and back to Tellico.. Awesome ride, lots to see and just plain enjoyable. I would like to ask, if it's not too much trouble, when you show us new places, can you kind of lay out the roads that you take.. I know that I use your videos to discover new rides in the area and having road names or numbers would be a huge help when planning my rides. Thanks either way and keep up the great work.
Ah yes, Tellico would be another great video to do this Spring/Summer. Maps and directions? I would most certainly be happy to do so and I greatly appreciate your feedback! Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a fantastic day!
Good idea showing the route, I also watch Itchyboots, and her travels through the world. I recommend her channel. Great work Ty showing this awesome and beautiful places Tennessee and surroundings areas, on a brand new Harley and those beautiful America and historical facts of the roads. 👍👍👍😎🤙
Hey Lloyd! Yes sir. It sure was and the weather cooperated nicely so that was a plus too. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a great day!
Hey Ty, per our email conversation the other day, this video taught me something! No, not the "Don't put your helmet on the seat" I already knew that. Thanks again for another great video.
Happy to help. RT 30 is probably one of my favorites. It's so much fun to ride and I take it every chance I get. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching!
Very nice 💯. Back roads in south Carolina did not disappoint yesterday. Not as cool as your area. Thank you for sharing. Excellent Entertainment. Makes me text my crew, we gotta get back to Tennessee. 💯
Awesome man! Glad to read that you enjoyed the video. Thank you so very much for watching! I've got a few more ideas like this I'm working on...Talk to you soon!
That's solid advice Todd. I like that very much. I had to leave that "Doh!" moment in the video. Thank you so very much for watching. I appreciate your time...
@@TyFromTennessee It looks like the original Route 30 (Lincoln Highway) went East and West. We live East of Pittsburgh Pa, and have traveled the Lincoln Highway many times.
Looked like a good day. Little country stores are almost always interesting, especially when there are some of the stuff from the past still on display.
Yeah man. That place was awesome and I'm so glad I got to go inside. The lady working there was so friendly and let me film and walk around like I owned the place. Thank you so very much for watching!
Great day for a ride! I always hang my helmet from the right handlebar, if I don't have room in the tour pack for it. The 2019 tank badges are in the PERFECT spot to let the helmet rest against the tank without scratching the paint :D
Sounds awesome. I hope to do a cross country trip one of these days. What a ton of great memories to have. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate your time!
Great video, nice scenery and not a lot of advertising and promoting bike products in your videos. Some content creators are obsessed with the advertising so they can get discounts or whatever, a turn off for me. Ride Safe
Thank you for that. The majority of the time if I discuss or promote a product Im the one who has paid for it. In all honesty there has been times where companies have sent me some freebies but it’s not that often. Just not my thing. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate your time and I hope you have a great weekend!
Great video! Who is WE you refer to? I didn't see any other bikes; who were you with? I enjoyed you stopping and showing us stuff instead of just riding and talking about it. Thanks for sharing. Ride Safe
Thanks for the video! Man you have made me want to fire up the Road King and head down that way it’s been over 5 or 6 years since I was down that way some of the best riding around! Here in central Illinois it’s going to be a while before it’s fit to ride all day, sleet and rain this afternoon. Ride safe out there,,
Hey Mark! I already want to go back too so I get it. That location is only about 45 minutes from home for me so I can be there in no time. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!!
I end up doing 90% of my riding solo and there are so many places in this area to get out for a few hours and ride. I’m right there with you bro. I love riding down the Ocoee and then down to Mercher’s Orchard to get some fried apple pies and cider, then down to Elijay for lunch. I finish the loop by heading back up over Fort Mountain. Great day of riding there. Give it a shot if you haven’t already.
That is an excellent suggestion! I’m going to research all of those for my next time in that area. There’s just so much to explore, love it! Hope to see you around soon and thanks for watching!
Hey Ty - next time you're in the Ocoee area, and if you have the time, ride on up to my birthplace, Ducktown and over to Copperhill/McCaysville and give them some love. Several good places to stop and hang out as well as several good places to grab some grub.
For sure man. I have some very good memories of Ducktown and Turtletown. I'm always down for a good place to eat so I'll be on the lookout. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate your time today!
@@TyFromTennessee Rod's Rockin' Rolls in Ducktown, Copper Grill and Habanero's in Copperhill are some of my favorites. And if you like craft beer, Buck Bald Brewing in Copperhill is 🔥.
hwy 30..is actually better than the tail really to me because it won't wear you out as bad but you can actually get to have some fun on it..just gotta watch for washouts at times..and i love riding 315 into tellico as well you could also make a loop by using 68s back to 64w. 68s once you get out of tellico is a blast as well. totally dig the video used to live in copperhill so everyday would drive the occoee to head to work. also was on the fire/rescue squad that responds to over half of the river section of 64 east end of it. Sadly the park service is trying to but as of right now still haven't been able to get a budget to rebuild the actual building center that had a bunch of historic items from the 96 olympics in it when it caught fire 3 years ago now and burned nearly to the ground. Totally still consider that area home well mom still lives up in the copperhill area so I still do go up thru there quite often. Kinda shocked but not really though at the same time that you didn't stop at Goforth creek being you didn't stop far from it but I do know last time i was thru there it can be a bit rough for bikes to pull up into the parking area there but its a nice lil waterfall area.
Great point. I do like 30 better than the Dragon. Less crowded and much more fun. Wow, you really provided a lot of great information about the area in your comment. Some of that I had no idea. I didn't know about GoForth Creek but I will most certainly check it out next time I am back in that area! Hope to see you out and about this year. Thank you so much for watching!
@@Slayer_syndicate I was there last year. It was a really great event. I might be able to make it on the 12th. On the 13th White Lightning has an event that I'm attending..."Clubstyle Invastion"...you should come to that one too!
The headlight actually doesn't flash. It has something to do with the frequency of the camera and the headlight..blah, blah, blah..technical stuff. I think you told me once, but I have since forgotten. :) Thanks buddy. Talk to you soon!
@@TyFromTennessee OHHHH, yeah, that's interesting. It has to do with the refresh rate of the LED headlight and camera framerate interacting... but I never thought it would show as a flash on the SIGN! My educated guess [and why I think it makes sense] is that the headlight is "flashing" quicker than we can notice. The camera's framerate is picking it up on the "off" part of the refresh cycle of the headlight.
I filmed this on Sunday so it's really current. Some of the trees are starting to bloom, but winter is still hanging on. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate your time!
Curious about your ST setup. With the tour pack and speakers in the ST fairing, why not just get a road glide? Not hating at, generally asking as I'm looking at moving from a heritage softail to a road glide since I'm 6'4 and want a fairing but if the ST is a better option I may look at one instead.
I actually do own a 2023 Road Glide Special 120th Anniversary Edition. I took the LRST on this trip because I knew it would handle the twist and turns perfectly with the 117. I have heard many tallers riders complain that the LRST leaves them feeling cramped up because of the mid-control seating position but I'm only 5'9 so I can't speak from your perspective there. All in all it is a fantastic motorcycle and I enjoy it very much! Thank you for watching and have a great day!
I’m currently securing a loan for a bike. I mostly do shorter rides but I gotta have my lady on the back pretty often. Is the st passenger set up comfortable or is it to cramped?
I gotta be 100% honest here with ya man...I don't know. My wife doesn't ride anymore after a motorcycle accident we were in back in 2020 so I have no experience to draw from there. I have seen many people riding 2-up on the bike so I assume that it is capable. Sorry buddy, but I really appreciate you reaching out and taking the time to check out the video. Have a great day!
Hey Lloyd! Yes sir. It sure was and the weather cooperated nicely so that was a plus too. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a great day!
Thanks Grady! I appreciate that very much sir. Middle TN is beautiful too. I have family in Spring Hill and go that way all the time. Thank you for watching!!

Man, we are blessed with some great roads in Tennessee!
You are absolutely right! It's tough to find a bad part of the backroads to ride in Tennessee for sure. Thank you for watching sir.
One of my favorite rides. Love riding up to Copperhill for lunch or a coffee.
It really was fantastic. I plan to go back in the late Spring when everything is bloomed. Thank you so very much for watching!
I'm blessed to live very close to all that. Maybe 20 minutes to Boyd. I need to check out rt 30. Was not aware of it. Thanks for the tip!
Happy to help. RT 30 is probably one of my favorites. It's so much fun to ride and I take it every chance I get. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching!
That is a great road we really enjoyed it.
Whenever you're in town and we have time we'll go too Pete! One of my favorites! Thanks buddy!
Man, that looked like a great day of riding. Thanks for having us along.
Yes sir. It sure was. I’m hoping to go back again soon. Thank you very much for watching!

Hey there Mikey! It's such a great place to ride. I can't wait to go back when the flowers and trees start blooming. Thank you very much for watching!

Some beautiful areas!! Great job Ty!!
Thanks Patrick! I appreciate you so very much sir!!

When I taught the MSF Basic Rider Course, I always told the students, a helmet never falls off the ground. Great video

Oh course Jim! Thank you for watching sir!
Awesome. Not too far from Manchester. Thank you for the tip.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm going to be visiting some family in Manchester, TN in a few weeks. Take care and ride safe!

Also, do you have a headlight modulator? Your headlight seems to be flashing against the road signs - very cool!
