Hey all, a buddy and I have been riding since Wednesday. We hit tail of the dragon and many of the surrounding roads. We are now in Charlotte. Just thought I'd share some pics. I'll get some video and better stuff up when I get back. If you guys are in Southeast OH tomorrow I might see you on my way home.

So we were riding along on 129 by the lake. Since we were on the back side of the tail of the dragon

we didn't even realize we were on it yet. No less, a tree had fallen due to a fire

that started from a bike wreck the day before. We waited 20 minutes for the rangers to clear the tree and were on our way.

Did ya hear what started the fire? Some 'tard on a Gixxer crashed and it caught fire, resulting in the dry woods catching. Amazing.

That is exactly what I heard. I also heard he or she was ok so that is good and that it was a brand new gixxer. Woops!!!

We stayed in hotels several nights. I rode light Thursday but the rest of the time I had my stuff strapped on because we were on the way to somewhere all of the other times. Too bad too cause I got a lot more time in at the deals gap area Friday. The police were not a problem but it was weekday afternoons so I think that helped.

What do you strap a bunch of crap too? Pictures?

I made a gif or two of the proofs. You can see me getting my swerve on with crap strapped to my bike. I think I'll order a few of these zeephoto and killboy pics. Cool business model.

That Dic monster looks tiny. Looks like it handled pretty damn good though. Nice pics man.

I'm 6'3" I can make most sport bikes look pretty small.

The bike handled like it was designed with those corners in mind. I felt so at home on those roads that I'm sad to be back home a little :(
