Yesterday, Thursday, Xtown, 300i I rode the Tail of the Dragon for the third or 4th time and for probably the last time---while it is not technically hard....just a lot of curves, there are just too many idiots there, bikes and cars-----everybody thinks they are racer, driving /riding over their head. At end when I stopped, even had an idiot in SUV yell at me because I didn't move over for him, because he had SUV----I explained if he had enough motor or handling to go around I would have been happy to let him by---TN plates/typical TN idiot!
Skill of riders can be judged in parking lot---GoldWing Riders falling all over themselves try to find parking spot joined by Harley Riders (the loudpipes, too), Trikes (probably Can AM being the only good design)----No scooters other than me.And of course some pulling trailers. Probably lots of trailer bikers, too.
My mistake, even though weekday, pre-holiday, just too many people there.
Want to ride it? I suggest weekday, 4-5 AM and enjoy it,even on small displacement scooter.
