Well in two days I'll be driving the "Tail of the dragon" 318 turns in 11 miles and hopefully not too many hostile distractions with ticket pads.

Never mind the cops, watch out for other drivers/riders. Tail of the Dragon eats Squids and spits them back. There is a company that takes pictures at the Dragon, they are famous for nice action shots of your car, they are also VERY famous for crash pics on certain corners. :driving:

Killboy, US129 Photo, among others.

Watch for the sharp turns
BIKER IN THE BANK
(gone since 2001)
Here he lies with pistons
and crank
Burried up to his ***
In the face of this bank
He challenged the Dragon
to have some fun
As you can see, the Dragon won!!

Yeah I know what you mean Had a few bikes pushing the centerline. Their bike was on the the right side but with the bike leaning their head was on mine. Fortunately I always leave my self a little wiggle room for the other idiots on the road.

We guys made it back and had a blast! I don't know which was more fun the Dragon or driving a fully deserted recently paved Foothills parkway at full throttle. Either way a great time was had and my wife even tamed the Dragon too. Great having a wife who knows how to hit a corner hard! I am hooping the photographers placed along got some pics too. Only negative came at the end of the run where I was pulled over for get this ..... 46Mph! I was doing almost twice that a few seconds earlier. Fortunately I was let off with a warning instead of a $175.00 fine. Aside from the police pressence it was a great time and highly recommended for any car guys and gals to do at least once in their lives (aka the bucket list). And definately take a bike or sports car not the loads of family mini vans ans suvs littering the road. will post pics soon!

Look like you got lucky with that warning!

I know from last year there's an black undercover SUV driving around there with TN tags. We watched him pull over a bike for improper passing. Watch out for that guy!

That was the guy! I was looking out for the marked patrol car and totaly missed him. I thought he was a photographer or sight seeing. Photos are on us129photos.com , killboy.com , and zeefoto.com under july 17th. I'm deciding which ones to purchase and what size too. Moonshinephotocom got the back side of the Z I guess I was going a little too briskly for him to get a head on shot.
