oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Granda080 and I arrived thursday afternoon, about 1 pm. We set camp up, and unloaded the bikes, and decided it was time to go ride! We took off down 28, and headed toward the dragon. I wanted to get our dragon passes out of the way, so we weren't trying to ride it on the weekend.here was our view from campWe headed up the dragon, and got stuck behind a van. We stopped to check out the viewfellow ohio riders membersgranda080 taking it all in.My fz1, granda's fz6, and fellow O.R members bikesafter we hit the dragon, we headed over to the foothills parkway- what a blast! after our dragon passes we stopped back up at the lodge, and I snapped this picture of the mountain range.We called it a night, and had a few beers, and a fire and relaxed. I also met a few other members(packer82, and a few members of the fz1 forum). The next day we headed out to the Cherohola Skyway. What a beautiful ride! after we rode Cherohola, I had gotten word from a few folks that there was an awesome bbq place in Tellico. I have to agree, this is the best bbq I have ever had.After we ate I was pretty well exhausted from not sleeping real well the night before. We hopped on the cherry cola skyway, and headed back. When we arrived back we decided to grab a shot of the camp ground from the top of the damWe went back to our camp site, and headed up to the general store, and bashed on some ice cream, and met up with likwid, issacspapa,bad324,and chatted for awhile. On Saturday, we decided we were going to Hit up Georgia, and South Carolina. So we decided to ride 28. I was initially bummed it was just one road, but good god. Beautifully amazing around every corner. This road had it all. Tight and technical, sweepers, scenery.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) more break timeafter a water, a granola bar, we were off again on our adventure! on up the road we found this very cool little waterfall. Brides Veil falls, Highlands,NC.We decided it was lunch time, before we headed back to 28 and found a neat little cafe' Savannah Street Cafe.We rode 28 back, and hit War woman road, which was great for about 6 or 7 miles, and then it flattened out. We jumped back over to 28, which was just as beautiful a second time.We cruised back to Fontana, and stopped down at the deals gap store and looked around a bit.We planned to eat dinner at the Deals gap place, but they were closed so we headed into Fontana, and ate an awesome pizza at the wildwood grillWe loaded the bikes up on the trailer after we ate, and we had a few beers and relaxed. We didn't make it to the bonfire saturday night. We had a bunch of wood to burn, and just relaxed in front of the fire, and talked about the last few days.We slayed the dragon, in the rain, with the bikes on the trailer.This was an amazing trip. I learned more in the last three days of riding, than in the last 5 years. I have come to the conclusion, I want to do a track day. We met lots of very nice people.I hope this is going to become a yearly adventure for us. Edited July 9, 2012 by oldschoolsdime92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think of it until we were halfway back flying home because I needed a bathroom in the worst way. I did think to myself well shit Todd loves him some spaghetti I shoulda gotten some to go. It was literally just spaghetti with salsa mixed in and topped with mexican cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
