Heading to the Robbinsville Area this Saturday Sunday and Monday to ride.


It's been a year since I've ridden the Tail of the Dragon - be interesting to see how it compares to all the other mountain riding I've been doing in NC, TN and VA.


Really looking forward to the surrounding roads more than 129 - we'll probably ride 129 early AM Monday morning and/or late Sunday evening.


If you're a Superhawk rider in the Area, look for me on the red Hawk with my friend Brad and his girlfriend 2-up on a VFR800.

Hi Andy


I hope you really enjoy the area. Wish I was going again this year but life and work have not allowed it. I bet I haven't put on a 1,000 mile yet.


Most I'll be able to to is a leaf peeper ride up to NH this year.

Do people sit on the side of this road to take photos?

yes, they do. Killboy.com and us129photos.com are a couple of them.

I'm near murphy today sitting at a campground. Rain. I have my concours with me. looks like Sunday will be the best weather. I think I'll put the rain gear on and venture down to N GA mountains today. seems like there's a break in the rain down that way.

Have you ridden the cheraholla skyway? My pick by far over the dragon. Weekdays are best. Zero police. If you like real speed this the road

oh yes... the Cherohala is my favorite over the dragon as well. I ended up staying an extra day to wait out the weather. Sunday was a perfect day for both the dragon and the Cherohala. Saw no police on the dragon either. kinda surprised, but enjoyed the ride.

I got a huge ticket on Cherohala Skyway few years back! Never even knew he was chasing us. We pulled over for a break, took helmets and jackets off when a super trooper pulled up. You should def. try to find time to check "Wheels through Time" museum in Maggie Valley, NC.

Nice vid. Reminds me of my stint up there. I didn't video any of it. And a little piece of advice, if you do ride it, make sure you're fueled up.
