Default RE: gonna ride the dragon

I took my new XBones up to the Dragon yesterday. A total of 636 curves in the to and from trip 22 miles. The new springer took to the curves like a duck in water. Wow, it was great handling. I am lucky that I only live about 90 miles from the Dragon, so I go up there quite often. Have a safe ride and make sure you check out the Cherohala Skyway also. It is one of the top 10 scenic highways in America according to Forbes Magazine, and I can vouch for it. It is all National Park Service so no commercial vehicles, no billboards, no businesses, just hundreds of bikes and maybe one or two cars. The start is in Robbinsville, NC which is just 18 miles from the Deals Gap store. Jerry
