interesting vid.... he is right, if a cop in a patrol car tries to catch a bike on the dragon...... bad idea...

 

What a crock!!! This **** happens every yr. You have to be damn good to do above 40 on the damn dragon. Our average speed was around 30(gps). LOL Oh well. THis was a waste of time. LOL

BULLETIN:We have received numerous emails concerning the recent posting on the Internet by a supposed Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper warning of dire consequences on the Dragon this coming year for speeders. We do not post rumors on this site so we contacted Captain Ray Fletcher of the Knoxville Division Tennessee Highway Patrol. He confirmed as we had believed that some of the details in the post are completely false, such as the immediate arrest and impoundment of vehicles for speeding over 50 mph on the Dragon.


Captain Fletcher was not able to comment on whether or not the post was made by a Trooper, but some of the language, unusual statements and obvious errors as stated above make us believe the post was by someone other than who supposedly signed their name and position to it. Obviously a real Trooper would not jeopardize his job by signing such a post.


Captain Fletcher stated that the laws will be enforced on the Dragon as they are on all Tennessee roadways. Tail of the Dragon advises riders to obey the laws and they will have no trouble with the Tennessee Highway Patrol or Blount County Sheriff Deputies.

 

Yeah they had that posted up there for a while. They make a **** load of money off of the bikers thay come into town every year. They have 2 major busts a yr. (unless the the death toll is high) If they stop the bikers from coming you can kiss the local (dry) towns goodbye. 056r and myself (and a few others) passed cruisers on a double yellow on the dragon with a trooper sitting along side the road and he didnt even bat an eye. Im sure if we passed him doing 50 he would have. LOL But we dont ride that good or are that crazy.(one of the 2)

All in all, if you make it to the dragon, just take it easy.Stay in the lines and enjoy the back to back to back to back twisties. Its just as fun at 25 as it is at 35. I will be there for the 3rd time. We are heading down March 29th. Yippy Time to try out the Buell on some twisties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, with 318 curves in 11 miles, is America ’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. The nearby Cherohala Skyway is quickly becoming number two with its remote 60 miles of scenic mountain highway. http://www.tailofthedragon.com/index.html
