Need help with rides in the Maryville, TN area. Thank you.

I live in Maryville and the routes you mention are all good ones. Unless you like very slow bumper to bumper traffic I would suggest you delete Hwy 441 over the Smokies whether it be from Cherokee, NC to Gatlinburg or the opposite. It's a beautiful drive/ride but it will be clogged with tourists. I'm going to suggest one of my favorite rides that is a long day ride and it's away from the more popular ones such as the ones you suggest. To get to it you must travel on some very scenic but otherwise boring roads i.e. lots of straight flat stretches. From Maryville take US 411 south to Vonore, turn right on Hwy 72 and take it until it ends at Hwy 58. Turn left on 58 and take it to Decatur and turn right on Hwy 30. Take 30 to and thru Dayton and over the mountain which has some high speed sweepers as well as some twisties.  As you come off the mountain you will be coming down into the Sequatchie Valley which is beautiful. As you come into Pikeville and just before the intersection with Hwy 127 you will see a small paved road on the left. It's called Lower East Valley Rd. Take it. It is a winding road thru scenic farm country and there isn't a lot of traffic. Maybe get off in the town of Dunlap and there come back north on Hwy 127 for just a few miles until you hit Hwy 111 and turn right. Hwy 111 is a 4 lane, limited access road and it takes you out of the valley back over to Hwy 27. Take 27 north to Dayton and from there you can take your pick as to how you want to get back to Maryville.  All the other routes in your plans are good ones, the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway are must-do's.  As for the Foothills Parkway I would suggest you do the part from Hwy 321 in Walland to where it ends at Hwy 129 (which becomes the Dragon) and Chilhowee Lake.  Foothills Parkway from Hwy 321 to Wear's Valley (the new part) is boring and not very scenic and will have more traffic.  Feel free to ask more questions.

Watch out for cops on the dragon. They were shooting the radar last year we were there. My buddy’s got hit doing like 60 in a 30. They were lucky and got off with warning! Dragon not much fun riding 30

The section of Foothills Parkway between Hwy 321 and Hwy 129 can be incorporated into your Dragon ride or into the ride I suggested above (Sequatchie Valley). Another shorter ride than the Pikeville one (I highly recommend the ride above however) is to go south on Hwy 411 out of Maryville to Vonore.  At the first traffic light turn left onto Hwy 360. Follow the 360 signs (you actually make 2 turns while still remaining on it) until you get to the Cherohala Skyway in Tellico Plains. By this time you will already have ridden the Skyway so you're not going to do it this time.  As 360 hits the Skyway turn right. Go to the stop sign (Hwy 68) and turn right. In about a mile give or take Hwy 39 will be on your left - take it. You will be it for about 4 or 5 miles and you will come to Hwy 315 on your left - take it. You will be on 315 for quite a while and it ends at the intersection with Hwy 30 right after you cross the Hiwassee River. Turn right on Hwy 30. It follows the winding Hiwassee for several miles and ends on Hwy 411. At that point you can turn right and it will take you back to Maryville. If it's a Saturday or Sunday you can turn left on Hwy 411 and go for a couple of miles and will find the Chilhowee Gliderport on your right. They most likely will be flying and you might be able to get a 15 minute glider ride if you so desired.  Hwy's 39/315/30 are winding and scenic - made for sportbikes.  Just so we're clear since you seem to think the ride I suggested to the Sequatchie Valley was not for your extra 2 days you would be in Maryville - it is just that - a ride for your other 2 days in Maryville.
