It was too tempting not to go.
128 is nice. Relatively smooth roads, some rocks here and there though. There's a small resort, just before the dam, you have to worry about since there's a lot of cars parked on the small shoulder and foot traffic. Once you get passed the resort, the only thing you really need to worry about are bicyclists and blind corners. There weren't a whole lot of cars on the road and most of them pulled off to the side to let me pass.
Knoxville road isn't as smooth. There's a fair amount of rough patches and it seemed to get worse the further north you drive. You also need to watch for bicyclists and, since there's no shoulder, you need a bit of patience to wait for oncoming traffic before you can pass em.
Both roads have plenty of twists and turns that make em quite enjoyable though, not to mention the scenery. I like some speed but I also like to take in the environment as well so I'm content with taking my time when stuck behind some other cars.
PS: let me know when you want to scout it out for your self, I'll meet you there :P
