Tassie is great Mark but there are better roads that are much closer.

Nope, the first time was Thursday. Over 3 days I got 5 runs on the Dragon, 1 run on Cherahola Skyway and 3 runs on Moonshiner 28.

Awesome Fred. As much as you ride I figured you'd ridden the tail more times than I have.

I have not ridden much, East of the Mississippi. Except, up and down the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Florida.

I had until 6 month ago a cabin in Murphy NC. I could leave my driveway and head up 68 to the skyway, to deals gap (dragon tail) back down 64 to Murphy. I had all by bikes at the cabin. some of the best riding I have seen. For me, the skyway is the best part. FAST sweeping curves, no one around, especially on the week days. Spectacular views. I have not had the FJ up there yet, but every spring there is a 2 stroke meet at the resort on the gap. I will be bringing my RD and my FJ for the week.
