I hear that is a hell of a ride.... 385 turns in 11 miles. Seems like fun. Although after seeing this... kinda makes me wonder..... http://www.youtube.com/v/nv9MPYHjADU&hl | |

I have a buddy that rode it and he says it's definitelythe shizzle. He did it on a Honda Goldwing and was able to carry a pretty "spirited" pace. What most people don't realize though is that even though sportbikes are built for speed and handling, they aren't king of that mountain. The super motards reign supreme there. Basically, the turns are too close together and most sportbikes rarely get into third gear. Definitely dangerous as hell, but I'd still like to run it at least once in my lifetime.

I was thinking the same thing... looks like fun, and I watched a guy on a warrior rip up those turns. My girl still has family in Tenn.... not too far from there.... figured when we went back I would take the bike and give it a shot... if nothing else, just to say I rode it. | |

I fucking hate truckers just for that reason. They think that if they honk it's ok to go wide in a blind turn. ![]() I used to see this all the time on the road out to Lake County up in Nor-Cal. It's not just truckers that do it either but they are the worst. Idiots!!

no shit? that's cool Jeff. did you make the entire run? it goes through Tenn too right? after seeing the guy on the warrior hitting those turns, made me appreciate my bike a bit more. He was leaning that thing like you guys do.... maybe not as far down but hanging off the side. I tried that but with the seat being so big and foot boards so extended... I haven't quite gotten it yet. | |

Yup, but before it got popular and they lowered the speed limit. |

Best ride I ever been on. Will def. be hard to top it. It goes thru tenn. and n. carolina. But all the roads in and around that area are great, smooth, relatively clean, and just a blast to ride.!!!
