"Hey, just to give you a heads up for next season----we have a new
captain in the Knoxville district which covers Blount county------ he has already told us that we will put a stop to the "race track driving" up on the dragon this year------so far what they have
said is that the speed limit is 30 mph and "ANYONE" caught going 50 mph and up
will be charged with reckless driving and will be jailed and their bike/car will
be impounded--- --I am telling you this because I am trying to put the word
out to everyone I know----or to people who know people that go up
there-----don't want to have to take people to jail for this---however I have
bills to pay and I kind of like having a job---so never the less I have to do
what I am told to do-----so the way I see it is that if killboy.com knows and
you know and dealsgap.com knows and whoever else can find out can pass this
along---it will benefit everybody--- -----feel free to copy and past this and let everyone
know-------if you get caught up there it is only your fault because I am
trying to pass the word along for everybody's sake-----we are not just
going to come up from the bottom like in years past---they are going to have us
go through Cherohala Sky Way in North Carolina and come from the top down to
the bottom----so no more free rides on your way back to the state
line----they are going to bring unmarked cars with radio's and have unmarked bikes up
there----this will be a joint effort with Blount county and the
THP-----The entire THP motor unit will be brought in 2 people at a time(for a week
long assignment) to be paired up with the local car----they plan on busting
tail at least 3-4 times right off the bat---then they will sit back and see
what takes place-----these orders came from Nashville Headquarters- --we have
a complete brand new higher ranking structure from the very tip top spot
down----they have said we will work until the problem is solved----just
wanted to give you and your friends a heads up.......

RE: Cops at Deal Gap ???
This has running the rumor mill for a short while now. It has not been proven, and a true THP officer says he doesn't know of this. They will patrol as normal. Go to Deals Gap.com and they have the response from from a "real" THP that they contacted about this letter.
IMHO, this is just somebody's idea of a prank!

You gotta ride the Dragon at least once so you can put a dragon sticker on your helmet, otherwise there's lots roads just as good in the area without the traffic and hype.
I had a sport bike pass me on the inside of a turn on the Dragon last summer and it scared the crap out of me because he came up on my tail so fast I didn't even know he was around.

Out here in CA we have some similar places, and wth our state you can be sure that the threats will become reality. About 5 or 6 years ago we used to all to a certain venue for riding on saturdays and sundays, and a lot of people began "stunting" in the late afternoon as a show for everyone else. Took about 3 months for the CHP to catch on and all of a sudden there were Chips everywhere allday long. I stopped riding there for a couple of years. Anyway, I would imagine that it happens there too...

i rode the dragon this year and 50 mph is fast on a harley. I agree that an IQ test should be necessary.
