We rode Moonshiner 28, the Dragon & the Cherohala on the 22nd, a beautiful 230+mile day until the rear tire blew out while cruising at 65 mph on 129 near Murphy, NC
Tail of the Dragon on the 21st.
On my last ride there were three cops sitting in different areas. Did not see them pull anyone over.
Most of the time they are assisting the ambulance/rescue workers as they attend to those that think they can overpower the dragon...
on my garage wall hangs a warning from the sheriff in that area for speeding. Yes, I was pulled over on the ONLY straightway on the Dragon and given warning for doing 50 in a 35 MPH zone. The wife frowns every time she sees the warning hanging in the garage. Lol
Few years back about 20 of us were riding through, lead bike got a ticket for 50 coming out of a corner on the NC side headed south, we all sailed on by. Long story he refused to pay at first, eventually cost him over $200. He will frown if anyone mentions it.
