Well, this is my review of my 2016 goals. Not very good.
1) Red Boiling Springs, TN for the MC museum. www.cyclemos.com/ 319 East Main Street. I'll try again.
2) US 129 in TN and NC Deals Gap tailofthedragon.com/. As soon as the temps at altitude are good, I'm off.
3) www.wheelsthroughtime.com/ Wheels Through Time is a antique MC musuem in Maggie Valley NC about 110 mile from home. They have a TV series called "What's in the Barn?" that tell the stories of how they acquire some of the old cycles and cars.
4) Veterans of All Wars Museum in Chickamauga GA.

I've been by it, but it was closed. I shall return.
5) and some non-destination roads in SC, MS, and KY. Might as well hit VA while I'm going north.
The best part of the 2016 agenda was seeing the museum Wheels Through Time which included hooking up for a ride with WNCmotard. Definitely a hit.
I made Veterans of All Wars Museum 3 different times. Second hit.
I made only 2 miles of US129 from the Skyway to Robbinsville. So that was a miss.
I waited too long to go to Red Boiling Springs. When I was ready in September I checked their calendar and they had no more open dates for that year I could make. My wife would like to go up their, so 2017's trip will be by van.
I completely missed any of the new states SC, MS and KY.
But in spite of that I still consider my 2016 riding very rewarding.
2016 Score: 2 for 5
