RHill Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm visiting South Carolina in mid to late October, figured I'd hit the Gap and some surrounding roads on the way down or back. Anyone going to be down there at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nope' date=' but I'll be there next weekend.[/quote']I'd love to go sooner rather than later, but I want to go for more than a weekend to visit family, and work has me pretty busy until October.

dustinsn3485 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I live in Nashville, when it gets closer give me a shout and I may try to head that direction. It's only a couple hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradycook Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I already went, but if you want to ride another good road, turn left on 28 when you get to the bottom of the gap, I personally liked it more than the actual gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out.Still trying to nail down exact dates for this, brother in law has been commuting to Canada for work and we are not sure when that is coming to an end. Hopefully talk him into riding for a little while, doubt he will make the trip to the gap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Imho, once you've ridden the dragon....-yawn-......you'll find there are lots of better roads to ride down there.this!I was telling my friends new bf who rides about the Gap trip and he was all excited when he asked how many times I rode the Dragon, the confused look on his face when I said 0 was priceless. It just bores me with so many other sweet roads around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownsfan1 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 If you want we can meet up for a ride as long as my work schedule allows me. I have some friends here that might be interested in riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Leaf season is not one of my favorite times to visit the Smoky Mountains, I have tried twice now, and the traffic is very heavy, and slow moving...Riding at night, which I usually am not a fan of at all on twisty back roads, was the best time for me to ride during this time of year.Don't take this the wrong way, it is/can still be fun at times, but constantly passing slow moving, and completely stopped vehicles, really got old throughout the day for me.

ohiomike Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I found middle of the week was the best time to ride the Smokeys.......man I am fighting the urge to just load up and ride down......told the wife the other day I was going, and she said, 'oh yeh?'....which to me is a green light....haha. Ride down, through the mountains, back up the BRP to I 64-W and scoot back home. 3 or 4 days there and back....I've got a ride I want to attend on the 22nd back in Battle Creek, a benefit ride for a kid crippled in a car wreck. After that tho............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_sv Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm hoping that the first week of Oct won't have too many leaf watchers. I'm trailering the bike down. Got a cabin over by Pigeon Forge for the week with the woman. Hopefully be on the bike a lot but also out doing other things.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
