Dragon Events Tail of the Dragon (Highway US129) 318 curves in 11 miles, is America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road.

Any regrets from Wake the Dragon?

I dunno about that. When I was checking out of the hotel I saw an S parked in front of the door with tape all along the front fender and passenger side mirror. Who knows, the tape could have just been for decoration or something.

Busch I had a great time down there! And once again thanks for letting me fill in for your spot! That was soo ultra cool nice of ya! I redeemed myself from my Mr2 wreck and dusted off my shoulders this past weekend, which did sooo much for me on the insides. I met a ton of cool people who liked talking about cars and the Dragon. I cant wait for the next Dragon meet... hopefully Ill have my suspension fixed this week so I can go to the Blue Ridge meet i nthe next couple weeks.

I regret not having my camera pointed forward when the red vetter almost flipped.

I regret driving Jason's car Friday night. My savings will be drained, accordingly.

No real regrets. It's always hard to balance catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, and getting in ample drive time. I wish I had realized Jake was Dark_Sub_Rosa when I met him

Re: Cherohala - It's one of the prettiest roads I've ever been on, no doubt, but I'd rather spend the 2-3 hours on the Dragon. When I'm there with first-timers, it's a good road to take them on, but it gets old...

On Sunday, I regret not having a supercharger/turbo so that I could have passed those two sport bikes on the Cherohala.

I was pushing them in the turns, but every staight they ran off & left me.
