Got-Boost? Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Just curious if anyone on here has been on a motorcycle? I am heading down with some guys for the BUSA BASH at the end of April. I have driven through in a car but never on a bike. We'll see how the heavy ass BUSA does.... More info for those that aren't aware---> http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I have thought about going, but I don't know if I can pull the time off for work or not. That is more of a weekend trip with a few days riding there and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemosley01 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I was boning up on it this morning and I am in the very beginning stages of planning a trip down there and the Cherohala highway. Looks just incredible. Ironray, from what I understand, you want to hit The Dragon through the weekdays. The place is a mess on the weekends. I'm thinking leaving on a Sunday would be best and coming back home on a Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

400 HO Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Be very very carefull down there my friends... I went down in May of 2004 and that was the last I ever saw of my bike in one piece. I rode the Dragon about 5 or 6 times.. Fun!!! Then we went over to the Cherohala Skyway.. I lost it in a turn doing about 70.. I got into some loose gravel on the edge of the turn... bike caught on fire and burned to the ground.. I ended up being life flighted to University of Tenn. Hospital for almost a week... Broken pelvis and other "fun" injuries. My buddy got a pic of my bike when it exploded.... http://www.tailofthedragon.com/slayers/2004/explosion.jpg It was the best riding I've ever done (until that point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you are still able to post. The dragon can and will bite you. Check out the pics on the website of trucks that decide to attempt the dragon to save time. Many a trucker has vowed "never again" 54 ft trailers and the dragon don't mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
