Yep, none of my friends want to drive that far just to drive. Bastages! :shakes head:

Cool...just checking... Reason I asked if you were flying solo is because I never want to be the third wheel on some trip with a guy and his girl if noone else goes....


:tup:

Na, no GF on this trip. I plan on hitting the road hard and finding a nice dive bar at night! ;-)

No Bull It's been going around The Gixxer site for awhile. They were getting tired of all the bikers getting hurt. So they were going to install speed bumps. Just figured I'd pass it on. Sorry I'll leave now........

You really shouldn't believe everything you read or hear. This is just one of the many myths that never seem to go away.

Don't worry my friend, there are no speed bumps and will not be any.

This issue is actually posted on the rumors and legends page on that website. Speed bump rumors on the dragon have existed for decades apparently.

This is a long arse trip (google maps timewise) running the full length of the parkway down, but I'm determined to do it! These are my best guesses as far as travel days/times go:

Day 1 - September 3 (Hotel in Sparta or nearby)
Google Map - Day 1

Day 2 - September 4 (Hotel in Robbinsville - Microtel)
Google Map - Day 2

Day 3 - September 5
Hit the dragon for a few runs, have some lunch then explore other roads in the area. Potentially stay another night in Robbinsville or elsewhere in the area if I find a hot hillbilly chick with more than two teeth!

Day 4 - September 6
Head back home by pointing my car north and seeing where whatever road I'm on takes me. ;-) I'll avoid the interstate most likely on the way home too, so it could be interesting.

:icon18: You know where that's going? Best Quotes thread...boo yah! :bowrofl:

Dooh!

THE DRAGON!

Conquered it 3x today!

Nuff Said!

Video coming when I get back home!

Gotta tighten up the KW's Jae! I was dragging the rubber front! LOL!

WOW!

What a road!

We all have to plan on going back for the big Z weekend!

PARTY!

The Motorcycle dudes were taking pics of my Z at the Deals Gap Motorcycle resort this morning, LOL!

FUN FUN FUN!!!!

:tup: Cool!

So if you're complaining of dragging the front....how would my car do? :p

It was only on a few high down force right-handers that it drug, but since I can go tighter, I might. ;-)

I was running hard core though. Sport bikes were letting me pass! ;-)

Looking forward to the video, sounds like it was everything and more!

Nice! I had the chance to hit the Dragon years ago, when I had my WRX. It is a pretty awesome road. It's almost like a paved Roller Coaster. I'm looking forward to seeing your videos.

Just a pic from the drive down... This was on the Blue Ridge Parkway
