What’s required of all motorcycle riders in Tennessee?

To legally operate a motorcycle in Tennessee, you need to be at least 16 years old and have a Class M license. Obtaining your Class M license requires passing a vision screening, a written test, and a road skills test. You can skip the written and road skills tests if you already have a valid Tennessee driver’s license and have a certificate of completion from a motorcycle rider education program (MREP).

To be deemed legally roadworthy in Tennessee, your motorcycle must have:

  • Headlights

  • Taillights

  • Brake lights

  • Front and rear brakes

  • Turn signals

  • Two mirrors

  • A horn

In addition, if your motorcycle doesn’t have a windshield, you must wear a face shield, goggles, or safety glasses with impact-resistant lenses.

You can only have passengers if your motorcycle is equipped with a separate passenger seat and securely attached footrests.

Tennessee motorcycle helmet law

Since 1967, Tennessee has enforced what’s known as a universal helmet law, which means all riders and passengers must wear a safety-approved helmet.

Murder Mountain Run

Don’t let the name fool you—the only thing this 144-mile ride gets rid of is the blues. It’s hard to feel down when you’re riding over a mountain and through small towns and beautiful countryside vistas. 

Rolling through North Carolina and Tennessee, this ride takes you through some famous territory, such as the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, and Roan Mountain State Park, where you’ll ascend to an elevation of 5,512 feet. 

The Murder Mountain Run is a 3 ½-hour ride sure to create timeless memories—a bit challenging at times but comfortable for all skill levels.

Roan Mountain—a faster path

If you’d prefer to dedicate your time solely to riding up Roan Mountain, there’s a 90-minute ride that brings you around and over the mountain. There are plenty of places to pull over and take in the beauty of your surroundings.

Best of The Snake

This ride has numerous curves but only takes about 90 minutes to complete as you wind through farmland, forests, and mountain terrain. This ride is ideal for anyone who wants to get off their motorcycle for a hike or to simply take a break.

Want to explore Tennessee off the beaten path? We have coverage options for your ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes.
