Our Family Motorcycle Trip Ended Early | Foothills Parkway & Tail of the Dragon 2021

Описание: In 2021, a family friend’s wedding brought our family together from Arizona, Alabama, Illinois, and Florida. What started as a regular family visit turned into an opportunity to get out and ride some of East Tennessee’s most scenic roads.
A few of us took motorcycles out for a cruise on the Foothills Parkway, with plans to continue toward the Tail of the Dragon. Two riders rented Harley-Davidsons from Rocky Top Harley-Davidson, while the rest of us rode the Goldwing’s (Dad and I each owned two at the time).
Partway through the Foothills Parkway, one of the bikes began having mechanical issues that eventually ended the ride for me and one other rider. After making sure everyone was safe, riders were rearranged so the rest of the group could continue and finish the planned ride.
This video captures the beginning of that day and a reminder that real rides don’t always go exactly as planned. Sometimes the most important part isn’t finishing the route—it’s handling problems the right way and getting everyone home safely.
📍 Location:
Foothills Parkway, Tennessee
Tail of the Dragon (planned route)
🎥 Note: This footage was not originally filmed with the intent of making a YouTube video. Recording ended once the mechanical issue was addressed.
If you enjoy motorcycle cruising, scenic mountain roads, Goldwing and Harley rides, and real-life ride stories—this one’s for you.
