I am just 374 miles east of Memphis (in the Knoxville, TN area) and yes, heading to Maggie Valley in May 2019 to spend some $$$ there, lol.
Had great experience with Crockett Powersport of Tennessee Service Department in Chattanooga, TN.
You definitely need to bring your SS and drive the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap (TN to NC) 318 Curves in 11 Miles....
