Mj 88 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Wish I could have made it to the dragon with you all! I was there by myself last year and had a great time. Thinking about going to the Snake this summer. Has anyone been? Are there any other good roads you can recommend near the Dragon or the Snake? I know the obvious roads, any "unknown" roads worth checking out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 there are a TON of roads near the dragon, so many so that I didn't even do a single dragon run in the 760 some miles we didNorthern Georgia ended up being freaking amazing. Pauly or Uncle Punk can chime in with the exact road numbers of the route we took but everything was just so much fun. It included 28 South and the Cherehola Skyway which are my 2 faves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Last year I hit 28 up and around the Smokey Mtns and camped north of the dragon by look rock. I've also ridden Cherehola. The Dragon was fun but too many cops on the weekend. Have you ridden 421, the snake, it's up by Bristol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have not been up there so I know nothing of that area. The roads in Northern Georgia would then be an excellent choice if you end up back in that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm looking for a good home base to camp at when I'm down there. Yes, Northern GA is nice, but I'm on a super motard. I'm looking at riding 250 miles a day, too much more and my ass can't take it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Pauly took us on this rode Friday, I went back to it Saturday & if it wasn't raining Sunday would have been back on it again.http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=GA-60+S&daddr=GA-60&hl=en&sll=34.62764,-83.954867&sspn=0.001194,0.002411&geocode=FTAoFAIdopD6-g%3BFXFgEAIdlfL--g&mra=ls&t=m&z=11If you can make this road part of your trip you will not be disappointed, especially on a supermoto. The majority of bikes I saw on that road were supermotos. Edited June 22, 2012 by Uncle Punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.W. Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 On your way down to TN, don't forget to stop and ride the Hillbilly Triangle. It's only a minor detour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Valley Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Between the Dragon and the Snake, I prefer the Dragon. The Snake is still a nice ride though. But it is TN, just pick any road and enjoy!Backbone Rock, TN-133 in Cherokee National Forest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicked94s10 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I perfer the snake, its not quite the squid fest that the dragon is. The roads are as good and plenty of food and places to stay in Bristol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBWalker Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 for some good riding check out Roan Mtn. TN.. located near the snake-421. then Rt.80 due south to BRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 We rode the Snake last year, and the surrounding areas. I really enjoyed it, and can only say what has already been stated.....less po po and squids around the Snake area. All great roads around both areas. And definitely good food in Bristol/Johnson City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mj 88 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 My rough plan is hit the dragon on weekdays and hit the snake on the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those roads were incredible...ChrisNow I understand why you are staying that far north when all of the good roads are south of there you cock hound.Good luck on the 27thfor some good riding check out Roan Mtn. TN.. located near the snake-421. then Rt.80 due south to BRP. I rode 80 on my way back from the gap. The road has a lot of potential but it is very dirty, has driveways and cross roads everywhere. Not to mention all the coal trucks, coal miners driving to work and every redneck in a pickup. I rode forty miles of it in both directions between 1:00PM and 7:00PM on a weekday it's a great road but traffic and hazards keep it from being a destination road. I would use it to get somewhere on a motorcycle trip but wouldn't go out of my way to get on it without having other roads to ride. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=VA-80+E%2FState+Route+768&daddr=VA-80+E%2FHonaker+Rd&hl=en&sll=37.133065,-82.1129&sspn=0.592302,1.234589&geocode=Fa9AOQIdbVIY-w%3BFWT1MwIdytId-w&mra=ls&t=m&z=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 One of my favorites in the area was Wahya or wayha road. It's a little rough and narrow but almost no traffic and a lot of nice tight corners. There's a road that runs off of it I think its forest road 711 that looked like a blast but it'd take a dual sport to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
