A few weeks ago some friends of ours tackled "The Tail of the Dragon" in Deals Gap, NC. It consists of of 318 curves in 11 miles. Now in a car that would be a challenge, but on a motorcycle it's down right treacherous. Certainly not for the beginner cyclist and more certainly not for me! I'm just not that daring.
I am however fascinated by the people who DO try the Dragon. Now our friends our very responsible riders who follow the rules, wear protective equipment and drive the speed limit. Many people don't. If you're one of those extreme daredevils who "feel the need for speed" you can even to donate a part (motorcycle not body) to the "Tree of Shame"...from the looks of it many people have failed at riding this Dragon!
So have you challenged the Dragon? Let the world know if you succeded on this neat Duel from Rob's website...who just happens to be the guy in the picture who survived the ride!
