We did the Dragon last year, Miner's 28, Cherohala and even Devil's Triangle....Cherohala was by FAR my fave.

and that was riding a Triumph Tiger 800!

Get a copy of "12 Classic Deals Gap Motorcycle Rides" at America Rides Maps

http://shop.americaridesmaps.com/12-...ides-NC007.htm

It's well worth the minimal cost and outlines many great rides along with mileage and expected times to complete ... Some of the rides mentioned earlier in this thread are listed as well. You will be happy you did. Have a great ride and keep the shiny side up!
