Dave,

This was supposed to be our secret...Been there and it's better if nothing else because of traffic and availability.



We`ll just keep it in the family here. No out posting allowed.

I was turned on to it by a friend who is local and stated "we want to keep it a secret."  Rode it several weeks ago...

I was down there in June. Although no one died the day I was there there was one serious accident due to
excessive speed caused by a crotch rocket(who left the scene)

Best thing to do is just stay away for a while 'till all this dies down.  There's no way I'll be going anywhere near the place during the upcoming Knoxville event.  They will have a field day up there and it will be a zoo.

I was going to stay away but now I've decided to ride through there Friday and see the zoo. I am very curious to see all the nuts and TN HP from what I've read in here. I figured I'd just slow her down and enjoy the show. ;D

I don't think I'd be holding anything on my person or bike out of the ordinary, Spyd... ;D :huepfenlol2: :nervous:  I don't think those PO-lice are real happy about working the weekends anyway, and one thing I've learned in my lifetime is not to mess with the Man when he/she has you cornered.  :huepfenlol2:  Just say yasir, nawsir... ;)

Been on the Dragon 3 days in a row now, no problem. No PD on Wednesday, 1 on Thursday, I believe due to a bike accident (Fatboy??)
Lot of Troops on the road today, and a lot of traffic. But I took newbies up and down each day, no problems and very little traffic until today.
I think the sport bikes are staying away because of the amount of "baggers" in the area, slowing them down  :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

We had a small group that rode it on Friday.  We left the Knoxville area about 7:00 a.m. and caught The Dragon early.  We saw two THP along the way, but no hassles and no problems.  Before we got away from the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort, the bikes were really starting to stream in.  It was a great ride and just something you need to do at least once.  Most of our group thought the Cherohala Skyway was a better ride (we took it following our ride through down US 129).
