10spd Posted August 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2017 Just a few pics. If anyone wants to go. I recommend staying at the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort. Great restaurant on site. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted August 17, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2017 Nice pics, great looking bike. We have been to the Dragon many times always wondered if the resort was a decent place to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimmer Posted August 18, 2017 Share #6 Posted August 18, 2017 I was out there in June and was able to get a ride in on the Dragon.. We road it on a Tuesday about 430pm and not little to no traffic on it and have a real nice ride both direction on it. It was my buddy on his 89 VR and me on mine. I dont think I ever made it out of second gear the whole time. I also enjoy the ride to the Dragon from Maggie Valley area. Very nice riding out in that area... Rick F.

Rick F.I didn't get out of 2nd gear either. It was very challenging. Will go back soon. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted August 21, 2017 Share #9 Posted August 21, 2017 I know that forth gear is good but I find third and higher rpm's work. Someone told me it is like poetry in motion to see me slay the dragon. Its a good ride however we all know that there is better rides with less blue light patrols. If you want to sharpen your skills for an afternoon its a nice run. If you want a day of it ride VA16 & WV16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3FOL Posted August 22, 2017 Share #10 Posted August 22, 2017 I've never been to the Dragon, but I've always heard about it from friends and co-workers and mostly positive feedback. From what I've heard, it is a great experience. Perhaps someday, I will also make it to the Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted August 22, 2017 Share #12 Posted August 22, 2017 That's a fact. I think you could ride for 2 weeks in WV alone and still not find all the great rides. I have to say it is a hidden gem for the motorcycle enthusiast. Just need to be careful with some of the logging trucks and such. That goes to say anytime you ride any where. All be safe and keep the rubber on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
