Elvis Presley and Sam Phillips at Sun Studio

If you’re a rock and roll fan, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to see and actually stand in the exact spot where legends including Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley made history at Sun Studio. Sun Studio is the recording studio started by rock pioneer Sam Phillips, and is situated right in the heart of Memphis. Now a National Historic Landmark, you can take a tour and see where newer artists including U2 and John Mellencamp have recorded. And don’t forget to pick up some souvenirs and memorabilia for all your fellow music lovers back home from their one-of-a-kind “rock shop.”

Keeping with the theme, you can visit the home of the “King of Rock N’ Roll” at Graceland. Home to Elvis Presley during his adult years until his death in 1977, Graceland now welcomes over 600,000 visitors a year. With a calendar of events full of activities including tours, celebrations, presentations, tributes, ceremonies, and games, he may be gone, but the King will not soon be forgotten.

There are additional lyrical venues throughout the area including live music on Beale Street and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. For a complete lesson in its musical story, you’d be wise to visit the Memphis Rock and Soul Museum.

By 1 Comment

Spring is here…Time to get DIRTY! 

Dual Sport Bike Rental in the Tennessee Smoky MountainsThere are any number of ways to get dirty. Well, maybe not what you think, we’re talking about getting back in the mountains on a dual sport motorcycle rental, exploring little traveled fire roads through some of the most beautiful National Forests around in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.

The arrival of Spring in the Smokys means two wheeling friendly weather is here and temperatures can be expected to be very favorable with highs in the 70′s and even low 80′s. The Gatlinburg, TN area vacation crowds have not yet arrived, so it’s a fabulous time rent a motorcycle and cruise through the scenery. Great Smoky Mountains National Park reports nearly all gravel roads are open, which is great news for dual sport and adventure touring motorcycle enthusiasts. The only notable exception is Heintooga, Balsam Mtn. road which is scheduled to open May 11th.

Dual Sport Motorcycle Rentals in The Great Smoky Mountains

By Leave a Comment
Today we are excited about featuring a new rental company and subcategory in Rent It Today’s Motorcycle category: Dual Sport Motorcycle Rentals.  We asked Dan Dickie, owner of GSMmotoRent.com, who lives near Gatlinburg, Tennessee & The Great Smoky Mountain National Forrest, to tell us all about dual sport bikes…
Smoky Mountain Dual Sport Motorcycle Rentals and Tours
Why ride dual sport motorcycles?
Let’s face it, there’s a time and a place for everything and every kind of Motorcycle.  “Cruisers” are great for Sunday afternoon riding but the seating position can compromise control on the twisties.  Sport bikes will feed the need for speed, but just try getting off the beaten path: SPLAT.  Touring bikes are great for long distance travel, but sometimes you want something a little lighter to maneuver around on.  Dirt bikes tell it like it is: try riding one for 100 miles on the highway: NOT FUN.
Which brings us to dual sport bikes:
Dual sport is a broad term for street legal motorcycles that are designed to enter off-road situations.  An original definition of dual sport was: “dual” as in road & dirt, and “sport” as  in non-competitive venues.  This concept remains true today.  Kawasaki KLR 650′s, Suzuki DR 200′s, and Suzuki DR 650′s are some of the most popular dual sport bikes on the market today.  Ugly as heck, they are meant to take you to the beautiful places, not to sit and stare at all day like a fool.  Dual sport motorcycles, also known as adventure touring, are a combination of off-road and on-road capability.  It’s a great day when you can catch a twisty in the morning, have lunch in the mountains mid-day, and return to civilization via an unimproved fire road.
Maybe that’s why dual sport motorcycles are so popular. Their torque-y single cylinder engines, exceptional clearance  and road sticking capability get you through the twisties like butter.  Lightweight, with large capacity fuel tanks combined with great fuel economy makes them perfect for a day of riding in the mountains and a full day of fun.  KLR 650′s have plenty of load carrying capability for multi-day trips or camping. Come try one and see what you think.  We think you will be pleasantly surprised — after all, KLR 650′s are the first choice for most round the world travelers on two wheels.  There is a reason dual sports are the world’s most versatile bike. This IS the everything bike!

GSMmotoRent Dual Sport AdventuresHere at GSMmotoRent we offer Kawasaki KLR 650′s, Suzuki DR 200′s, and Suzuki DR 650′s dual sport motorcycle rentals for your riding pleasure. GSMmotoRent.com also provides guided motorcycle tour rentals with tour guides like Terry Finchum (Smoky Mountain Dual Sport), and self-guided tour planning throughout the scenic raods and trails of The Great Smoky Mountains in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Good roads include The Dragon, Blue Ridge Pkwy, Cherohala Skyway, and the Foothills Pkwy.  Trails include Parson’s Branch Rd, Rich Mountain Rd, and Heintooga Rd, all in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  North Carolina offers trails such as Tatum Gap Rd, Winding Stairs, Max Patch Rd, and many more throughout the Cherokee and Pisgah National Forests.  We have many of these mapped out with turn by turn directions. -Dan Dickie, owner GSMmotoRent.com
