Tail of the Dragon Trip

This is wicked, awesome control of your bike. Well done, you've got skills that's for sure. There aren't too many roads like that around here. Would be great just to give it a drive.

Thank you! I have worked literally my whole life on doing what I do. Maybe we should organize an event to where we all get together and run the dragon as a group. There are also a ton of other good roads around here. There are car groups that do that all year long. We really should make it happen.

Let's make it happen! let's get some moderators to set up an event for a weekend. We can all ride around the mountains of East Tennessee in a SHO convoy.

Sounds great. Mid fall might be best for temps on the brakes. Is there 93 octane available around there?

There is 93 octane and 100 octane on the dragon. Fall would be perfect

Any e-85?

I am definitely interested.

Those leaves changing colors would provide some high quality background in pics too.

Not sure about e-85.... I will do some research and see what's around here. Let's really make this happen.

looks like there is an E-85 station here in Knoxville, TN where I live. You could fill up there, and then have a whole day of spirited driving, and then fill up there again. It is about an hour from the entrance of the Dragon

I would love to make the trip, it's a bit of a drive but I would make it.

Interesting vid on the Tail of the dragon.

That is the best video about the road..... kinda scares some people, but it gives you a good idea of what you are in for. really not the best road if you don't know what you are doing.

ShoBoat.... that would be pretty awesome if you made the trip from Canada all the way to East Tennessee. I will tell you.... it will be worth your time, $$, and energy.

I really need a vacation anyway, and it's only 12 hours away.

12 hours isn't sooooo bad... haha. You could stay a few days and drive some real roads while you are here
