Anyone been to Tail of the Dragon?

[Logan]

Took a long break from here, but have been super busy playing a buttload of shows in my hiatus. In between playing out, working, and school for my associates in science my girlfriend and I went to Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee with a local car group I’m in.

Took my Focus ST there and the scenery plus the roads, dear lord was it a fun time. Only problem was using 93 with how high gas is, I spent probably $600 in gas alone which was horrendous but absolutely worth it.

I'm from the area. The Smokies were my stomping ground for twenty years. The first time I rode on it was in about 1963. I moved out of the area in 1981. My wife and I made pilgrimage there a few years back for the fun of it. 318 curves in eleven miles! It is a fun road.

I've looked into that area sometime ago, but never made it there. With the price of gas now, coming down from Quebec would be madness. I'll come down when I get my EV. Should be fun.

30 yrs ago in a furniture truck with air brakes. Good times. I’d go back with a motorcycle.

My son and I have been to the Dragon twice on our motorcycles. It and the surrounding region are wonderful areas to ride.
