Lake Norman Loop—The Ultimate Day Trip
First up is the Lake Norman Loop, an easy favorite among Charlotte’s motorcyclists. You’ve got smooth pavement, sweeping curves, and the occasional glimpse of the sparkling lake. The 2024 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®’s responsive suspension makes those curves a breeze, while its advanced Reflex™ Defensive Rider Systems (RDRS) offer extra confidence if you encounter a surprise patch of gravel or an overenthusiastic squirrel. And let's be honest—this ride is all about soaking up the views, which is where the new Skyline™ OS infotainment system shines. The 12.3-inch TFT display offers navigation and multimedia, keeping you connected and entertained while you cruise the lakeside roads.
Skyline Drive—For the Adventurer
For those ready to stretch their legs (and maybe their throttle), the Skyline Drive is a bit of a haul, but absolutely worth it. This route offers more than 100 miles of uninterrupted scenery, winding through the Blue Ridge Mountains. And if you’re tackling something like this, you’ll want the 2024 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®’s one-touch saddlebags, which are perfect for stashing your gear. Need to pull over and snap a few photos of that jaw-dropping sunset? Go ahead—there’s room in the bags for your DSLR. Plus, the comfortable seat and upright riding position mean you won’t feel like a human pretzel after hours on the road.
The Tail of the Dragon—For the Thrill Seeker

But with the 2024 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®’s Brembo™ brakes and traction control system, you’ll tackle those twists and turns with the kind of smooth precision that makes it feel like the bike is reading your mind. And if you’re leaning into those curves like a pro, the Harley-Davidson®'s sleek batwing fairing keeps the wind at bay, ensuring you stay as aerodynamic as possible—well, at least until you stop to catch your breath at Deals Gap.
