dragons back..

Never been to it and dont care to either.

 

I remember doing a “less than legal” road race in PA way back. Heavy traveled roads, full of tourists with a few sections that were sketchy to say the least. Eventually it turned into a high speed group ride with skill level classes, cash and drew quite a few riders until. . . I think the lawsuits were going on for many years after.

that was before trackday were invented and the hot hand was the Interceptor. I think I rode a Harris KZ1000.

 

How about no, and fuck you.

 

Dave K king of the 2 strokes….because no matter the distance he finishes in 2 strokes.

 

Guess I got my tools mixed up. Lol.

 

Rode it a few times during the week, it’s fun. Would never go on a weekend. Lots of other roads in the area that are as much if not more fun, without the notoriety.

 

The Cherahola is an instant meat grinder if you crash. It is an amazing road though. That being said, I drove it a few times in '22 and it's an overgrown mess. It used to be so beautiful, but now you can't see jack crap and you can't see ahead through the corners anymore.

Deals Gap is a lot slower and fun. As far as real road racing goes, it would be WAY safer than the Cherahola. Of course, as many have said, that's a pipe dream in the US.

 

That would be K51000

 

This is the dickhead that refused to pay his bet to the AFF.

 

Been a few times.Never got a good run on the bike. Immediately ran up behind leo,and then a day of shit pipe Hardley Movingsons.I have had a few good trips in the car when I had it..but no.Its not worth the hype,and a great place to get hit head on.
I do enjoy looking at Killboys photos though of the weekly shit show

Wayyyy better in every way.

 

LMFAO....Nobody didn't pay a debt you dick....Pay the fuck attention and watch your mouth.
I"m constantly contributing to AFF everytime i buy something and donate.....Definitely the off season for you to be running your cocksucker about nothing, fucking Karen.

 

They do it with cars. I wanted to do this years ago just for fun.

Is that anything like the 2 pump chump?

 

Deals gap was awesome before the internet showed up. Used to go up there pretty regularly in the 90s. Was a lot of fun back then. I've ridded the Back of the Dragon in NC also...pretty decent and fun road. Lots of great riding up that way.

 

I have a pretty long history in the area as a visitor. Used to go up there with my Dad (it was my first long trip with my first street bike). My parents bought a vacation home up there and eventually moved up there full time. They both passed recently, and I inherited their place. So, now I'm even a NC tax payer!

Most of this journey revolved around riding motorcycles up there.

Although I have been going up there on family vacations as a kid, I probably started riding motorcycles up there in the mid 80's, . Deal's Gap wasn't called "The Dragon", It was an abandoned gas station and hotel that became a stop/hangout because it was situated in an area full of great roads and had a flat parking lot that you could park more than a few bikes in (rare in those days on the mountain roads). I rarely saw a cruiser or car there.

The gas station tried a few times to open again, first just seasonally and the rest, as they say, is history.

The Cherohola skyway didn't really exist. There wasn't an outfitters, coffee shop, craft brewery and year-round Christmas store in every little town. Occasionally, you'd run across genuine "country" experiences. A gas station still using glass "visible" pumps (admittedly, just for fuel oil, but I did get to see one in operation). "Honor" markets that just left a box at the stand to put your money and make change. A farmer driving their tractor into town, moonshiners, etc.

Throughout all of this it was, and still is, an amazing place to ride bikes. My Dad rode his bike with his friends the week before he passed. If I went out with him, he could still find a route where we saw very few vehicles during the whole ride.

I don't live up there (yet), so maybe I never "wore out" the riding, roads and whatnot. Although I've got a few bad feelings going up there right now because the recent issues with my Parents, I'm sure it will eventually be a treat again to visit.

 

Great roads for multi-day rides and trying to stay off the highways.
Road from DC to New Orleans and back riding all the "backroads", all of the BRP, Smokies, Deals/TOTD, Cherohala, and Natchez Trace.
It can get busy but beats dodging the truckers and other maniacs on 81
