Six gap
Me and the wife rode SIX GAP in north Georgia Saturday. I have to say it was a lot better than the dragon. The dragon is overrated in my opinion. Six Gap had a lot less traffic than the dragon also. The only bad part was on HWY 180 were they have been patching the road. Only down fall was going back thru Helen Ga., traffic was backed up. Had to stop in Helen to let the bike cool off. Other than that what a good day of riding. Ay others rode Six Gap? Opinions?

Rode it a few weeks ago on the Road King, then did it a week later on a bicycle:

Got a ticket on the backside of Blood Mountain during the HD run. Given that we were - alledgedly
- doing 23 over, going uphill, while two up on a Road King (with a pillion not known for her thrill seeking nature), the speed limit is pesimistic at best. Be careful out there folks!

The Dragon is a great example of MARKETING. I lived on the VA/KY border, Wise County, VA for a few years, the roads there were WAY better than the Dragon. What they didn't have was a "resort" advertising, and creating hype.
If you ever get a chance, ride Pine Mountain... you could spend a day taking different routes over and around it from Elkhorn, KY to Haysi, VA to Jenkins, KY to Pound, VA to Whitesburg, KY and to Cumberland, KY...
What it has is great uncrowded roads, what it doesn't have is a Tshirt to prove you've been there.

I'm going to be in that area two weeks from now. Was going to spend a whole day just farting around Cherokee and riding Cherohala and the Dragon but I think I'll buck up and add the six gap loops onto the day. Nothing I love more than long full day's of mountain twisties.
