Return from the Dragon
#61
Got back last night - wow, and I mean WOW! Tons of great roads! Did not have enough time! Dragon was better than I expected - 28, as someone mentioned is hot too! Did 441, small part of the BRPW and a VERY small portion of Cherohala Skyway - we have to go back. Saw two falls, wanna see more. 2 days was not enough time to do what we wanted to do.
Will not stay anywhere NEAR Pigeon Forge next time - I think Maggie Valley would be a better place.
If ya wanna see my photos

if you want a GREAT place to stay, Robbinsville NC. Two Wheel Inn. we stayed there in 08 for 10 days and the folks that own the place are incredible hosts. There are storage rooms in between each room with a large door that you can easily fit 2 baggers in each one.

Not necessarily. I have a great time every time I go, and I certainly don't ride that slow. I do, however, set my own pace and pick my own lines through the whole stretch. It's great fun, and throwing some sparks from floorbaords is part of the fun, too.
Even when I get stuck behind some guy riding the whole thing on his new Street Glide in first gear, I still manage to have fun. And I don't know why, but it invariably is a Street Glide holding me up most of the time. I guess the newer H-D riders trend toward those now?

5 mph
Not necessary to go slow on a bagger. Check out the Wing.....
