German motorcycle travelller touring around the mideast of the US

Hello !
I'm a motorcycle traveller from Germany !
Actually I'm with the HU for more than 10 years - but more from the reading side.
I'm not a big blogger or very active in the internet.
I used to be part of the HU Community in Kiel / Germany.
I'm coming to visit a friend of mine in Memphis and I'm touring from there direction east and backwards to Memphis in a big loop during the 5th and 13th of May.
It would be great to meet other motorcycle travellers in the US during this trip
or we can meet on the road and ride togehter if you like.
Any suggesstions and recommendations ?
Feel free to leave a comment or to contact me via a PM!
Thanks !
Kind regards
Frank

@ Niello !

Thanks for your recomemendations !

I have heared about some of these rides

and have some of them allready in my mind and planings!

Unfortunely I'm a bit limited in time -

this time so I'll concentrate on the aera east of Chattanooga ...

I wont make it to DC this time - but keep the fridge filled and the cold ...

Thanks !

CU

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
