went down to tail of the dragon 3 yrs ago. loved every minute of my time down there. went on line to famous motor cycle roads to ride in that area, gave me a map of 20 roads to ride in that area. printed it off n took it with me. met so many nice folks everywhere all the time i was down there, they would ask where i was going n say while your in that area, go out n ride county road such n such, did it and always had a good ride. first road i road was called the rattler, scraped my floorboards 3 times in the first 5 miles, said to self, slow youz a-- down or your gonna get hurt. next one i rode was called the diamond back, ended up kiss'n a gardrail, very lighty but still kissed it none the less. stopped very shortly after that, surveyed the damage, small scuff mark on the saddlebag that will stay forever as a reminder.said Thanks to the man upstairs for watchin over me. might go back again this year, haven't decided yet. got 10 days at laborday weekend:12101:
