http://www.tailofthedragon.com/pics2008/Road3.jpgSome of my buddies are planning our second annual trip to the Tail of he dragon in North Carolina. We will be leaving our home town in Indiana and arriving in that area later that afternoon (june, 23) . If you haven't heard of it, picture an amusement park for your bike!
:choppersm 318 curves in 11 miles. :choppersm

I would love to meet up with other "X" riders and have a group ride and photos.

WARNING: Some of the people who have already decided to come along ride Harley's.
:stirpot: It is proper edicate when riding with Harley people uphill, to shift when they shift, even though you may not need to. This makes them feel more comfortable riding with you.:icon_evil

We are planning to ride the area for two days, including the nearby skyway.
If anyone is interested in meeting up for the ride of a lifetime, please let me know and we will schedule a particular time to meet.

Well Dixie, since you own the Dragon, sounds like you have just been designated our new leader.:patriot:

It would be nice to have a local rider show us the way around!

I live in Nashville and just sold my CBR1000RR and bought a VTX1800C. My buddies and I used to go to Deal's Gap monthly, but now they will hardly speak to me because I bought a cruiser. All I can say is be careful up there. The Cherohala Skyway is awesome and most people will have no problems riding it. The Dragon is a different story. You guys will drag footpegs and floorboards around all the off-camber turns of the Dragon. Be sure you've got good tires and good brakes before you go. I would come up, but I started a new job recently and don't have much time off yet. Have fun!
