Now that I have a KTM 950Adv I wanting to start riding some of the FS roads. Where can I find all the FS roads that are open to motorcycles in Ga? It will be my first time doing the adventure/off road riding so what are some good roads to start out on? If anyone is ever interested in joining me or if there is a group of you guys that go I would like to hang out with you guys. Also any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Nat Geo Has some great Maps online and also at REI stores. The USFS has downloadable maps here (http://fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsinternet/!ut/p/c5/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3gjAwhwtDDw9_AI8zPwhQ oY6IeDdGCqCPOBqwDLG-AAjgb6fh75uan6BdnZaY6OiooA1tkqlQ!!/dl3/d3/L2dJQSEvUUt3QS9ZQnZ3LzZfMjAwMDAwMDBBODBPSEhWTjBNMD AwMDAwMDA!/?ss=110803&navtype=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&cid=FSE_003853&navid=091000000000000&pnavid=null&position=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&ttype=main&pname=Chattahoochee-Oconee%20National%20Forest-%20Home/)

Just head up there and turn on some roads and see where they take you :). There are tons up that way.

we just head out, theres' a lot up there, as long as you watch your fuel level

I would start at winding stair road and work from there

The National Geographic maps from REI are great.

I've found many dirt FS roads to be on my basic-model TomTom GPS.

Just go up and go riding around looking for roads. We do that a lot. Get lost and find your way back. I will be up there a lot this year. Just waiting on my new exhaust and carb for the drz.
