WOW just awesome

Just got home from riding the tail of the dragon at deals gap, unbelievable just awesome, the views are great the curves are a little challenging but not to bad, the people on the sport bikes are crazy and the little mini coopers are really fast. If you've never ridden this route it is worth the trip. Just watch out for the local police. Have a great week everyone..

Been there a couple times; best times are in the AM during the week. Just went through last weekend during a trip over the Skyway before heading north into Maryville.

It sound cool except for dodging the sports bikes and minis. That's enough to keep me away...not that I'll ever get there. But we have the Twin Sisters here and I'd bet it's the same way.

I guess I've just been lucky. I've been there 4 times, riding the gap multiple times and never saw anything crazy...

I do think it's a better, safer ride to head south towards the Highlands and Franklin, NC on 28. Same curves and less traffic.
