Hidden away in downtown Tellico Plains is one of the nicest rider stores you will ever find. Tellico Motorcycle Outftters has been in business about three years, and owner Mike Dozier has created a shop that is for the real motorcycle enthusiast.
I stopped by on Saturday afternoon and there were lots of people shopping, hanging out, and just enjoying the day.
Everything in the shop was top notch, with lots of high quality items that people who log lots of miles appreciate. He has a large collection of Olympia and First Gear brand riding gear, and one of the best glove selections I've seen. He also has helmets, plus a good assortment of things like tool kits, soft luggage, rainsuits, and flat repair kits.
Mike also happens to be a Dual Sport / Adventure rider, and is working directly with the Forestry Department to spearhead the movement to open some more trails/forest roads in the National Forest.
There are lots of great roads that lead to Tellico Plains, so visiting Tellico Mountain Outfitters just gives you a good excuse to make a trip. (Coming from Knoxville, I took 360 from Vonore) Plus you're right at the start (or end depending on your direction) of the Cherohala Skyway. It's a great shop that you'll like to visit. There is a link to his website in our links section.
