One quick stop to check my cell before getting 'lost'. Gave me this great panorama at SR28 The Hellbender!! A remote road with super fast sweepers and works its way down to some very tight bends running along the Tennessi River. I had a nice little game of chase with a K12S going till we hit the tight stuf....then his 167bhp didnt matter against my short wheelbase.....When we pulled into the store we chatted for a while and he was amazed at the speed the Old K bike generated.

Got on the road late so, and only one stop till I arrived. The Sign!! I took SR28 from Clayton GA, all the way up to Deals Gap AKA 'The Dragon'

Took a nice ride down the Dragon....a few cops kept the speed down.

The damn at the overlook.

Day two....I took the Fothils Parkway over to Gatlinburg.

The view from the Foothills Pky was amazing....Looking North at Knoxville...almost straight down!!

The traffic was for sucks from Gatlinburg across the Smoky Mountian Range to Fontana. The View was amazing from the Top of the Smoky's.

Going Baby!! I rode the Dragon 3 times just out of boredome!

Day three....Going Home...this was the great couple who stayed next to me at the Tapoco Lodge. It was (the rooms) kinda a Dump, but they had a good restraunt and cold beer. Just 3 miles from the Dragon.

Stoped at Highlands NC for lunch.


One more action shot....

Thats all folks......

Beautiful pictures.
Next July, the MOA rally is in Tennessee and I bet a lot of riders will go few extra miles for a ride on the dragon.
Depending of the date that I will travel to Europe, I may go to Tennessee too.
