2008 Tail of Dragon trip

[AreaOne]

I rode the Dragon for the last 2 days and it was great, just like a roller coaster on wheels. But in my opinion doing the Cherohala Skyway was more entertaining because it is longer and if you are alone on the road you could really open it up and let your car show you what it could do. I will be back next year.

Did you run the "Twisted Pickle" when you were out there?

Unfortunately I didn’t that’s on the agenda for the next time

Id like to come down from Toronto but I am told the way down is completely dominated by trucks and more trucks throwing rocks that will leave some serious battle scars on my black Boxster!!! Is this the case??

Lots of bikes make their way down there

On one of the bike forums I frequent, a link to
a picture of a tractor trailer unit with its trailer
crossing the solid line...the turns r 2 tight for some of the
trucks driving thru there.....
BUT.....318 turns in 11 miles......still makes me want to go

95 and 81 are quite often used by trucks. i've driven them several times and it's not that bad. yes sometimes little rocks and pebbles are thrown up, but no more than any other major interstate that i've encountered.

it's not enough to keep me from making my way down there a few times a year.
