Thanks SP. I'm going to need something that won't raise mine up any more but add comfort and don't know if that's possible. I'll have to research it more unless I want to see if my bike can be lowered again.

Thanks for taking the time to write that Report from The Dragon, SportyPig. Great reading and it encourages me to take up the offer from a buddy, who lives right at one end of it (NC) with a guest cabin and all. I think you've just convinced me!

Thanks for sharing that. I'm not sure if I'm confident to ride that yet, but someday...

Hey, could you explain the "Tree of Shame" in your pics?

Thanks,
Barry

Great write-up, Sportypig. It's pretty obvious from the report that you were in a full-on grin from start to finish of your trip.

Another great extreme twisty in that area is Hwy 28 between Bryson City & Franklin NC.

The Tree of Shame is at Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort. It's basically a tree where busted motorcycle parts that were victims of the Dragon have been hung.

You can read about it, and other good tips about the Dragon at this website:
