Great weekend at Deals Gap (Tail of the Dragon)

[HeatMizer]

Although we had done the dragon several years ago on our sport bike it was a totally different experience riding it on our Street Glide. What an amazing time. Ended up putting on over 625 miles through GA, SC, NC and TN between Saturday and Sunday. If you haven't done it yet put it on your bucket list

Also some video from my GoPro. I am following in the first half and leading about half way through. Again what an amazing place to ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J27pqCDm-ic

Nice pics! Looks like you had a bit of scraping going on. Can't wait to take mine through there.

Thanks... and yeah... after the first few twisties, I was scraping a lot on both sides. IF you are into the rush of throwing your scoot into the corners and draggin boards like me... do yourself a favor.... LEAVE A NICE GAP between you and the riders in front of you... you will be most pleased with your run on TOD.

Mojo led the way down and had me go first on the way up with a HUGE GAP in front, I was able to REALLY get on it and never saw the riders until I got to the top.... WAY COOL and full of Adrenalin!!!

Also.. when you see the photographers on the corners, make a mental note of the company/time you passed them. Within a day or two, they download all the pics they took that you sort thru by day/time... thats how Mojo and I got those shots.

www.129slayer.com
www.129photos.com

They all have different sites and areas on the TOD... so you have a GREAT CHANCE of seeing yourself.

Wife and I are planning on heading that way next weekend. Would have been there today if the weather had cooperated, been raining all day and forecast to rain all weekend. Really looking forward to this epic ride.

I was editing my post when you quoted lol. I don't have any canvas prints but I do have several framed pictures of many of my bikes in my game room since Killboy was just a kid and a car sitting on the side of the road
