About Southeast Moto

At Southeast Moto, we help riders experience the best dual sport and adventure motorcycling in the Southeast — without the hassle of hauling bikes, gear, or logistics.

Based in the heart of the Southern Appalachians, we offer adventure bike rentals, guided tours, and off-road training across Western North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. From flowing gravel roads to rugged forest trails, our team has spent years riding and mapping this region so you don’t have to guess where to go — we’ll get you straight to the good stuff.

Whether you're just getting into ADV riding or you're ready to conquer the Smokies with confidence, we’re here to make it happen. Our fleet includes a range of well-maintained, adventure-ready bikes — from lightweight dual sports to full-sized machines equipped with luggage, protection, and everything you need to ride far and ride well.

Southeast Moto is rider-owned, locally operated, and built on a love for real adventure. We know the routes. We know the terrain. And we’re here to help you explore it.

Let’s ride.

Matt Brown

Born and raised in Western North Carolina, I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 10 and chasing adventure ever since. From racing in national road and off-road series to completing endurance bicycle events like the Assault on Mount Mitchell, two wheels have shaped my life.

I’ve explored every corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains, logging hundreds of thousands of miles and uncovering the best roads, trails, and hidden gems this region has to offer. With nearly 20 years of experience in sales and customer service, I bring a professional but laid-back approach to every ride.

At Southeast Moto, I’m here to share the freedom, challenge, and beauty of this landscape with others — whether you’re renting a bike, joining a guided tour, or learning to ride off-road.

Let’s ride together.

TJ Burke

For over 20 years, I’ve called the mountains of Western North Carolina home. I’m a husband, dad of two, and a lifelong two-wheel addict.

It all started in Boone NC while enrolled at Appalachian State University, bombing down technical descents on a mountain bike. That thrill quickly evolved into a love for motorcycles — first on cruisers exploring the Blue Ridge, and later deep into the woods on dirt bikes.

Since then, I’ve logged thousands of miles across the Southeast, racing in the Southeast National Enduro series and chasing adventure wherever it leads. In 2009, a chance meeting with fellow rider Matt Brown turned into years of friendship and nonstop riding — from big bikes to minis and everything in between.

Now, with Southeast Moto, I’m excited to share this passion with others who are ready to ride, explore, and get a little dirty along the way.
