Going to Kentucky on the 20th. Staying around Corbin / London / Daniel Boone Nat'l Forest area for a few days. Looks like a bunch of good roads to be had. Then maybe a ride up to hwy 10, over to 330 to 32 to Rabbit Hash. And then down to the corvette muesuem. Any other route suggestions?

 
From Livingston to McKee is a lot of fun and very, very, little traffic. From McKee continue up on 89 or take the road that runs parallel off to the East (587/1209) that goes through Arvel.

I love that area. Roads seem to be in good shape and very pretty area with a lot of curves.

 
If you get to Prestonsburg, KY be sure to eat at Billy Rays. In Hazard, KY you might want to see the "Goose House"

 
Back from my Kentucky ride. Great roads out there and really nice people. Did Cumberland gap, went over to Cumberland Falls, Red River Gorge, the Breaks Interstate Park and ended up on The Rattlesnake. Then went to the Corvette Museum. Left there and headed home, going thru the Great Smokey Mountains (pigeon forge hwy 321) great road and scenery but slow. Stayed in Cherokee that night. Won enough at the casino to pay for the trip. Needless to say a good trip.

 
That's one of the things I love about Kentucky. The people. Very friendly, although they do seem to move at a slow pace.
