No
doubt some of you have heard of "The Dragon" up at Deals Gap on US129. It's that stretch of road containing 318 curves in 11 miles!? Well Steve Hoffman had someone
snap this great shot of him tearing up The Dragon on his Road Star while he was
having, well, a draggin' time!? Click Read More... for the brief
story and wallpaper you can use on your computer.
by Steve Hoffman: Six of us were planning an annual trip to Deals Gap on May the 12th, 2005.?
Myself and 4 buddies departed Washington DC area in hopes of conquering the infamous Dragon at Deals Gap. The sixth rider was stuck in DC awaiting parts for his VTX. Riding straight thru to Cherokee, NC, we got there in time to load up on the dinner buffet like condemned men.
This is because we would be riding the Dragon on Friday the 13th... Who us, superstitious? lol.
Our missing buddy's parts arrived, and he left DC around 7:30pm, rode all night (with no windshield btw), getting to Cherokee around 4am, and grabbed about three hours sleep. Friday the 13th dawned with absolutely perfect weather. We had a full day of riding the Dragon, Cherahala
Skyway, and many other fantastic roads winding in and around the Smoky
Mountains. We had a ball and can't wait to do it again!
