The dragon is a very sweet road. I live in West TN. About 6 hours from you. We head out to pigeon forge occasionally.

I slayed the dragon on my F3 for the first time last may. Positively the best strech of tight twisties ive been on yet I live in nashville so its only about 3 1/2 hours away for me. Quick tip...stay in pidgeon forge at thier cheaper hotels there (2 king or queen + pool for about 30 a night on non holiday times on average) its about a half an hour away from the dragon plus you can hit the other activities when the sun goes down.

Haven't ridden there yet, but I would absolutely love it. If the weather gets a little warmer I might take ride out there. It's about an hour and 15 min from me. If everyone is getting together to to go, let me know... I'm in!!!

i think that i will be going on june 9-11, yeah that what my plans are. i will be bringing my gs500f to meet up with another board i visit. so this will be the first time i take it up there (the cbr f3 that is) should prove to be a lot of fun. plus if it rains i will be bringing my white water gear and do aome rafting this time.

but i will be willing to come up at any time. this cbr is the best damn thing i have ever ridden. i would love to do a long trip like that on it, and it being faster than a car when i hit the moutain i guess i could leave cola S.C. and be there in 4 hours or less as is on the truck is 5 1/5 hours.

we're comming from various parts in VA. We plan on staying in Fontana Villiage this time. This is going to be my third time running it, but the first time we're bringing more than six people. So far we've got about ten people comming with a real mix of bike types and skill levels. If anyone is interested in meeting up somewhere around there let me know, and I'll try to make it happen.
