I'm pretty positive we've had our share of incidents...


As a group, though, we've been reasonably well behaved. The problems usually start when people throw out "our car is faster" or "we're better drivers" and try to prove it.

Good stuff! The main thing I want to see is space ahead of me on the Dragon! Nothing like following some tourists/vacationers just passing through!

Looks like the group of Ludes from Atlanta will be heading up there early Friday morning. We're going to try to take some leisurely passes through the gap to get the first times/less experienced feet wet and to get pics and videos.

But it's on Saturday!

Following them doesn't bother me as much as encountering one head on with no warning.

Check out www.tailofthedragon.com

The Dragon IS US129 that travels onto the North Carolina/Tennessee border. The Tennessee side of the Dragon is the BEST and gets the most raves...however the 11 mile stretch lends some into NC. Deal's Gap, a popular motorcycle place offers lunch and momentos...this is on the NC side, about 1/8 mile from the Tennessee border.
