I met a group in Jasper,Ga. Sat. morning rode the Dragon with a few stops along the way. I enjoyed it. Man were there a lot of Harleys at the store probably 9 out of 10. I was expecting more sport bikes. All together I enjoyed it rode 425 mile altogether.
Rode it in on a rental Duce out of Atlanta a few years back. Great ride and one off the bucket list. There are better rides out there IMO but its one you have to do because of its iconic status.
I rode down from Minnesota a few years back on a Road King. The Dragon was great but like they say there are a lot of great motorcycle roads all around NE GA. I now live in Cleveland, GA and enjoy whatever direction strikes my fancy. Still grinding my Heritage floorboards to fit!
We took a one week trip to Nashville and the Dragon last year. Noticeably harder to ride the Dragon 2 up and fully loaded.
Worst curves were actually the the 2 last ones on the Hell Bender coming into Fontana Village. 180 degree hairpin into a very steep incline.
