Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap

Blount County Sherrif and NekkidRiders at Deals Gap Tail of the Dragon

 

 Spring is here and it seems like I’ve not been producing many new photos.  Rather, I’ve been enjoying the nice weather, riding my motorcycle quite a bit, and getting to know other bikers.  I recently went to Deals Gap  (aka Tail of the Dragon) with friends and really got to enjoy beautiful scenery, beautiful bikes, and….surprise….really nice cops.

Why Deals Gap?  Among biking and auto enthusiasts, it’s kinda curve heaven — 318 purported curves in about 11 miles.  Though the speed limit is only thirty miles per hour, advanced riders have no problem racing well beyond the speed limit.  Semi-intermediate riders, such as myself, found the road to be a challenging and technical experience…and I loved every minute of it.
