You’re all so close…. We should meet up and hit the dragon one weekend.

 

Im in charlotte, nc right now. Just did the dragon. Wish i would have saw this post earlier. Im doing a few track days with Nesba this year at Carolina motorsports park. Maybe ill see another SH there.

 

Durham. Still working on getting my bike inspection ready and in proper running condition. I hope to have her complete by the end of next week.

 

So pick a date, and let all meet and general location on this side, and meet at Tail of the Dragon Store, in Robbinsville NC

 

Statesville, NC (when ever im in town lol)

 

I think 1 trip to the tail of the dragon is good for me for a year. It was very congested with slow bikes after 10am. And then Leo showed up.There was actually a good bit of law enforcement there. The roads on the tail are 30mph :/ just note when a fellow rider comes in the other direction and taps the top of his head, cops just down the road. i found rt 28 to be much funnel and less congested.

Id be down to do an asheville ride or meetup in little switzerland any weekend just name a date.

 

Burlington, NC

 

I'm waititing on getting this damn cast off my ankle then i'm up for any kind on ride. just killing me to not be riding

 

"little switzerland"

Hells yeah. I have a cabin there. The road from Marion to Burnsville, HWY 80 is a good time too.

I do urge caution - there are some tricky switchbacks and I have encountered gravel in the curves from rain before.

Plus, you can stop at Carolina Hemlocks for a swim, or grill some meats!

 

hwy 80 is a very nice rd and if we did a little swittz trip we should include that. hwy181 is also just like it, I dont know if anyone's rode 221 from linville to blowing rock yet, but its almost unridable with tarmacks just an fyi.
So whens a good date? im good from 6-14- on

Side note: If anyones still considering going to the tail, heres a link to the TOD(Tail of Dragon) i did this year. If you have never been I think its worth going to at least 1x. i met up with some GA riders, 1 on a bmw1000rr and a vfr. ran 30psi front, 32 rear. Nice thing was they had killboy.com, 129slayer.com, and us129photos.com at almost every curve taking pics. Riiding on the ***** of your feet is a must.

That's funny I grew up in the middle of all those roads, NC181, NC221, NC226 and 226A (very fun way to get Li'l Swiz), NC64 74A, and the list goes on.

I used to ride all those roads in high school... lucky I didn't get hurt. Bikes were slower back then, though. I had no idea how good I had it. Now I live in the land of straight roads, and high traffic. Oh well, it's still a blast to have a bike.

My SH just went to the shop to get some details finished and new tires and powdercoated rims. If it is out by the time you guys go, I will try to make it.
