Hwy 28 is also known as "The Hellbender". I like it as much as the Dragon.

 

Try the Devils triangle NW of Knoxville Tn. You better be an experienced rider to do it [sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

I have also heard a lot about old Hwy.64.I have rode part of it,around Chimney rockbut not all.I believe it runs from Viginia all the way into Tenn.I want to try it though.

 

Same here...love the location and get to ride virtually year round. I took my wife on the dragon while at the HOG rally, while she isn't a twisty rider herself she did like the tail gunner spot on them

 

Been there, done that. Would do it again.

 

Happy Valley Roadis the "valley road" at the bottom of the Foothills Parkway where it comes down to the lake, a mile or so before the Dragon's Tail starts. I road all the way up Happy Valley Rd and found it actually goes back over the mountain to Townsen. Two scary switchbacks were a surprise to my buddy, glad he was in the lead.[:-]

 

Yes I have and it was a good ride, but alot of state roads in that area are just as enjoyable with a lot less traffic. The traffic is not to bad on the Dragon early in the AM.

 

In the southeast, the roads all around the Dragon are great rides. Two years ago I was riding through the area in North Carolina and was detoured 50 miles through a narrow mountain road with my Ultra. Needless to say I was glad to get out the other side and back on to a better road but what an experience!!

 

I've ridden the area a number of times (about three hours from my home) - there are some beautiful roads up there!

 

I have rode the Dragon about eight times.It's O.K. but a bit insane.My favorite road in that area is the Foothills Parkway which is at the end of the Dragon on Tennessee's side.It has slow,winding curves and you can maintain a higher speed than on the Dragon.Also,little to no law enforcement on the Foothills Parkway.
