    Great shots Dragon. Ever since I made the run an old electra glide I've been wanting to do it on my old Wideglide. How was the traffic. Rice gets pretty intense on the Tail.

    Peace

    Great Pics Kenny. I rode the dragon twice so far and really loved it. If you think the Tail of the Dragon is something, you should ride the Devil's Triangle, not as many curves, but the curves are sharper and more wicked. Just one warning I don't recommend riding the Devil by yourself, just in case you run off the road and need help. If LeVere and I make it down your way we be sure to make it a ride. In the mean time check it out on

    Good pictures! That road is most certainly a must ride for everybody at least once. Last time I did it, I had 16 stops in 11 miles waiting for my wife to catch up. LOL

    That's why I gave my Ole Lady loud pipes on her bike, if I can't see her at least I can hear her.

    On another note, I believe Dragon should be on a Meet and Greet in his new neck of the woods, what you think Dragon you got another one in ya?

    Just like riding thru Spearfish Canyon, there's a photo group who takes pictures; recording time, date, and the photographer or area.  I don't know if this what Dragon did but the TOTD does have the same thing and you can purchase pics of you riding.


    Peace

    Has anyone heard from the "Dragon", since last weekend? There were some pretty brutal forrest fires up in Pigeon Forge (where he lives) this past week. Several hundred homes burned or damaged. A lot of evac's. ???

    I spoke to him on the phone when we were in Pigeon Forge.  He was taking a trip back to Texas for some personal business.  We avoided the fire from our cabin site and his place was well away from it.  We couldn't hook up other than by phone but I'll be down there again.

    Peace

    That is my suspicion Jimmy. I was just wondering. They have a pro-look to them.
