Anyone run the Dragon's Tail on your Sporty? I really want to try it, but my wife thinks I'm crazy. At age 62, I just feel like another challenge. For me, 318 turns in 11 miles will be a challenge.

 

Rode it with a couple buddy's this past summer on my 09 Custom. I loved it! I didn't think it was as scary/challenging as everything I read. On the way back we got stuck behind a tourist car and had to go slower which sucked but it was a great time regardless!

 

There's a lot of better roads for Harleys in the area once you've ridden the dragon. I used to be one of those idiots dragging my knee through all the turns and have ridden it a couple times on the Harley now. Cherahola Skyway and lots of other roads in the area give you better scenery/riding than the Dragon.

 

I'm 61, we rode the Dragon 2 years ago. It was a blast. My sig pic was taken on the Dragon, as you can see we were fully loaded.

 

i would say go for it man .. live in nc and still have not gotten up there but screw it man if you want to do it i say do it

 

If you wanna ride it, then go for it. I have heard alot of people talking about how fun it is. I don't live close to it to try it myself. I like to ride the Red River Gorge in Slade,Ky. It has plenty of twisties but I like to sight see while I ride and you just can't beat the scenery in this area. It has plenty of rock formations and beautiful views. It is a just one of many nice rides from up it KY.

 

You're dead on about the Skyway....that was a great ride. I rode the dragon in a pack...it was fun, but there is a lot of hype and the legend of it sells t-shirts at the bottom of the hill. I did have a few squids fly around the corners and really pucker'd my ***....it's not a road you want run off of...

We have a dragon run going the weekend of june 9-12. Chech it out at Dragon facebook run. all are welcome. kelley

 

It's an awesome ride. I did it a while back on a sport touring bike and loved it. People not on HD's cry that you are going to slow. Meh, whatever people. I saw a Class C motorhome pulling a blazer when I arrived at the top (headed down). THAT is far scarier to see than some slower HD riders scrapping pipes.

Enjoy, be safe.

 

Hey man life is way too short not to do something that you want to and are capable of doing ... Go for it ~!
