The bike is also much smoother running and altogether a nicer ride.
You never had "TD's" anything on Hyacinth....... BWAAAAAAAAAAA!

For a couple of decades we would go up to the Cherokee reservation, get a hotel room, and ride all over the mountains there, Deals Gap, Fontana, The Great Smokies, Blue Ridge Parkway, Maggie Valley, Murphy, Gatlinburg, Cades Cove, etc.. I love it up there. Some of the best roads on planet earth.

True, except for the smell of burning car brakes........

I've road it many times. The problem with the Dragon is all the sport bikes running you over if you are putting along. That to me, makes it dangerous. Like you, when the weather is bad...cold and raining, usually is the best time to ride it.

The Dragon isn't my favorite ride, not even close. The ride from Cherokee around the Fontana lake to the dam is way better. Cades Cove is an amazingly beautiful ride.

They had a "Lot Party" at my local H.D. dealer and had $10 Dyno runs, so I figured what the hell... Had em' put the bike on the machine and run it thru the gears. Needless to say I was really happy with the results. This bike has about 56,000 miles on it and other than the Screaming Eagle Breather kit and (I think) Screaming Eagle Fish Tail Mufflers.
