HeHe, Thanks

While the traffic is heavier on the Dragon on the weekends, the Photogs are usually out big time. Those pics were shot on a Fri & Sat by 4 different photo companies that were there.

No offense, this applies to many of us guys..............

My wife and I have an agreement...... if we know our picture will be taken, either I do my best to suck "it" in.........or she puts her arms around "it" and pulls "it" in.

Summer of 05,

Rode back on the Dragon from Tenn. through a blinding storm,

Limbs falling, wind howling, rain pelting,

Survived,

By the way, I'm headed back to visit the Dragon again in 3 weeks. I just can't get enough.

Aw comone now....take a closer look. His belly may look big, but there is a shadow above his belly where the picture on his shirt is. It's an optical illusion. Seriously. Or were you talking about my blubber.

I've ridden it many times, I enjoy the whole area of the smokies/BRP, some of the best riding in the country.

LOL.......... you don't appear to have any blubber, Rhonda. And I can now see what your talking about on your hubby's belly. My mistake.

Me on the other hand....... should be suckin' it in!

Just went for the first time this summer, see my sig for the pic.
We took two girls that had been riding three months, and they did fine, just go at your own speed. They were so excited when they got to the top! They now have "Dragon Slayer" on the back of their helmets. I do agree with you on the roads around there,there great, and we found some cool roads in Kentucky as well. I love the roads out that way. Living in Michigan, there are not too many great roads or views, at least by my house.

Here in AZ above Sedona is an old (ghost) town called Jerome. There's a highway leading out of there called 89A heading for Prescott. I forget the number of sharp curves (200 +/-). But it sounds like The Dragon is much more enjoyable.
