RE: The Tail of the Dragon
I love all the information we're getting on the dragon. As I said earlier we are going in June. My plan is to ride it easy and stay to the right. I'm more into checking out the scenery. We will be there during the "Honda Hoot" in June and from what I've read the dragon will be very busy that week.My plan is to be very careful!

That guy might of made that corner on one of the "bumble bee bikes" ! Make sure when your done with the Dragon you veer left onto 28 right after the cross roads of time.28 to Franklin is a great road. slower paced and very easy on the eyes . You go thru the state park and see a nice waterfall. Once your there you can get a great plate of ribs in town. Lots of little shops for the ladies too! It will take most of the day at crusing speeds, 8-9 hours round trip.

Just take it a little easy the first trip through,
My buddy, in front of me on the first ride through the "Dragon", panicked and went into a ditch mid-turn. He did not drop the bike, but managed to ride it out of the ditch. A lot of weeds on his footpegs afterwards.
