Just got back from the Tail of the Dragon a few days ago. Other than losing a camera, it was a great trip. It was my first time there and I have to say that the roads in Tennessee and North Carolina are fantastic compared to what we have in southern Ontario. It was the closest thing to being on the track I'd ever experienced. The 3700 km round trip on the Busa was well worth it, although next year, I'll be looking for a trailer to take the Busa down with.
The pictures and vid's of the Tail of the Dragon on the 'net do not do it justice. Aside from beautiful, it is of one of the most technically challenging roads that I have ever been on. It's banked hairpins and dips leads to a sense on excitement bordering on carnal. And there is fear. At least I felt fear. But also pure JOY. There were also quite a few skid marks heading off into the roads. Poor guys. Hope they're okay, whoever they are.
I wish I was still back there, and am SO looking forward to going back there next year.
Here's some pic's I thought I'd share:
