...to try hwy 28 out of Deals Gap to Franklin, NC. Except for a short section of freeway it is one of NC's best roads. You can actually take it all the way down into SC. The section from Highlands, NC to the Chattooga river is real nice. I would also suggest that you run hwy 68 south out of Tellico Plains. That's a great road, as well. When 68 crosses into Georgia it changes to hwy 60 and from Morganton, Georgia down to Suches and TWO motorcycle Resort hwy 60 is a very nice road too. When in the Robbinsville, NC area be sure to give Wayah Road a go. It can be found just off of hwy 19 south of Robbinsville near Topton, NC.

Hey Dexter,

Give me your ETA and location and I'll take a few vacation days.  Deb and I have been looking to ride down to Georgia to ride 60, 348 and other roads that way.  WARNING!  It appears State Troopers have contracted Harley Davidson to further enforce speed limits on US 129.  Geesh! What they won't do to keep a few Bandito's in line with the law.
