Did you ever ride the Dragon, Joe?
no i havnt but i sure have seen a lot of vids on it .... i am really no great corner carver...had a instant flat tire on the road i was talking about ...me and my daughter .... we were very lucky ... i dont fool around much on that road ...its either into the mountain or over the cliff
When I was down there I never encountered a big truck, but one went by when I was sitting at the overlook. Some of the others that were there came a little too close to a few trucks. It is long overdue, but in reality, a flatbed tow truck is too long for some of those turns.
And you are only now telling us about this? What happened to when we were at your place!!! :rant:

Tennessee banned texting while driving two years ago. No tickets written for it yet.

Just because we kept slipping and sliding on the gravel hill and had that deer in the headlights look of shock as we scrambled to hang on to our bikes to keep from falling over is no indication!!! :shock: :cheeky: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

Road getting to your driveway and your driveway was no problem: I grew up on dirt... getting a 700 pound bike into your back yard, that was a different matter all together. :shock:
