**lowrolla** · 03-10-2006, 01:02 PM

I want to try to start a cruise from north georgia to prob ashville N.C. they have alot of up hill 2 or 3 lane streaches that go for miles i am giong to work up some maps so we will drive through the blue ridge mountains. Then once we get there have a show in ashville N.C.. they also have some nice parks for people who like the outdoors.

If you're willing to go 3 hrs away, what about the tail of the dragon?
318 curves in 11 miles!!!

Go to www.chassismutts.com and you can download a video of the 11 mile run in either direction.

**VUU** · 03-11-2006, 08:30 AM

Nice vids. I've wanted to check this out for a while. The inlaws are cycle nuts and make runs out there often.

**©hris** · 03-11-2006, 03:23 PM

amicolola falls is a cool place.... stop off and eat at the lodge up top

**v3rd1g0** · 03-11-2006, 05:40 PM

Those vids are sped up a bit...you can tell.

Here's a vid from one of our runs covering 2.5 miles of the Dragon...

You're in the cockpit of the 4th gen Prelude following me. The other 3rd gen is behind us somewhere!

Right click and download this video! (3 minutes = 32.1 MB)

If you're asking about The Tail of the Dragon it does fall in NC but it is just north of the GA/NC border.

**salbrit1** · 03-28-2006, 08:53 PM

**lowrolla** · 03-28-2006, 10:18 PM

**BanginJimmy** · 03-29-2006, 02:26 AM

If you do run tail of the dragon be careful. Its not a place to screw around. I personally knew 2 guys that were killed cruising it on their bikes. Long story short. 2 teens, were playing around and racing, came around a curve and were going too fast and couldnt slow down. As far as I know one of them clipped 1 bike and threw it into the other bike.
