Camelninja

Im in Eastern NC, Greenville. I ride with whoever is on two wheels with foot pegs whenever I can. I don't find too many organized rides in my area. Bikerpipes you ever in my neck of the woods?

I think 1 trip to the tail of the dragon is good for me for a year. It was very congested with slow bikes after 10am. And then Leo showed up.There was actually a good bit of law enforcement there. The roads on the tail are 30mph :/ just note when a fellow rider comes in the other direction and taps the top of his head, cops just down the road. i found rt 28 to be much funnel and less congested.

Id be down to do an asheville ride or meetup in little switzerland any weekend just name a date.

"little switzerland"

Hells yeah. I have a cabin there. The road from Marion to Burnsville, HWY 80 is a good time too.

I do urge caution - there are some tricky switchbacks and I have encountered gravel in the curves from rain before.

Plus, you can stop at Carolina Hemlocks for a swim, or grill some meats!

hwy 80 is a very nice rd and if we did a little swittz trip we should include that. hwy181 is also just like it, I dont know if anyone's rode 221 from linville to blowing rock yet, but its almost unridable with tarmacks just an fyi.
So whens a good date? im good from 6-14- on

Side note: If anyones still considering going to the tail, heres a link to the TOD(Tail of Dragon) i did this year. If you have never been I think its worth going to at least 1x. i met up with some GA riders, 1 on a bmw1000rr and a vfr. ran 30psi front, 32 rear. Nice thing was they had killboy.com, 129slayer.com, and us129photos.com at almost every curve taking pics. Riiding on the ***** of your feet is a must.

That's funny I grew up in the middle of all those roads, NC181, NC221, NC226 and 226A (very fun way to get Li'l Swiz), NC64 74A, and the list goes on.

I used to ride all those roads in high school... lucky I didn't get hurt. Bikes were slower back then, though. I had no idea how good I had it. Now I live in the land of straight roads, and high traffic. Oh well, it's still a blast to have a bike.

My SH just went to the shop to get some details finished and new tires and powdercoated rims. If it is out by the time you guys go, I will try to make it.
