Pay FULL attention while on the Dragon. Doesn't take a split second to go off roading and ruin your day...
thanks for the info. We already have a hotel in Gatlinburg reserved. We decided to stay there vs a place like Maryville because I heard there is more to do in Gat. We all wear helmets also so that wont be an issue.
You WILL be in stop and go traffic but their generally safer than down here. Be careful on the main drag...
stop and go traffic where? we are arriving in Gatlinburg Thursday night so I wouldnt think traffic should be too bad.
We got there on a sunny thursday... 1mph for half a mile. Main strip is almost a parking lot. The construction they are doing drops some areas to 1 lane too. Pure ugliness.
damn that sucks. didnt know construction is going on there. Anyone happen to know of any decent bars or resturants in Gat? In terms of bars im only 21 so if someone knows of one with possibly a younger crowd itd be appreciated lol
thanks for the posts everyone. it wasnt too bad on thursday and friday but saturday was crazy. I figured id post the better pics from the tail taken by Us 129 and killboy. They were located on some wider turns unfortunately so couldnt get too far of a lean. Someone also crashed on the day we went there which cut the day short.
Was getting almost 60mpg because of the slow speed through the mountains.
Oh, and if you aren't an ATGATT guy, TN and NC are helmet states.
I see some daylight under there!! JK!
Maybe just not a tight corner but brings back lots of GOOD memories. Thanks for that!
Haven't had the FZ up there yet, but no doubt in my mind it would be the fastest (even against the FJR) run I would ever have..
BTW, when ever I saw Killboy set up, I'd turn around and make another run (in each direction) a couple of times just to get some good shots. Goofy I guess, but fun!!
The corners they were set up on were pretty wide unfortunately. I feel pretty good about the pics tho considering. I dragged my peg a few times.
Naw, looks good! :thumbup:
There's one spot, if you hit it fast enough, your weightless, slight drop off.. (as I re-call, heading south). Did you feel, get that spot?
