With your collection of roads and local knowledge have you thought about putting together some gpx loops or anything?

My favorite riding place. There are so many roads in this area that is way better than the Dragon Tail and much safer to ride.
@smokymountainwheels161521 күн бұрын
I agree with that. The Dragon is way too busy and dangerous especially on the weekend. I like the peace and quiet of a gravel road back in the mountains

My goodness, who is that old lady you are riding behind? Just kidding... What doesn't show is the layer of snot covering the trail. Even with my much knobbier tread, it was still pretty squirrelly... But then again, I have nothing to prove... I ride this loop many times a year, and this day was the slickest yet. Glad we hooked up for a ride. Part two should be a good watch as well.

Howdy! I'm over in Gatlinburg and would like to find other folks for some riding in the mountains. I ride a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro and do much of the same routes through the mountains. Looking to explore more of the area. Give me a shout if you're interested.
How smooth is that BMW 1250 been thinking about my next bike being a adventure bike but I like you I don't want to ride to technical of roads just get back on some good roads like what you are riding. Been thinking about the BMW and the Harley-Davidson Pan American
@smokymountainwheels1615Ай бұрын
I tried out the Pan America and it was a very fine motorcycle, I just thought the BMW seemed a little more balanced, and they have been in the Adventure bike business longer than anyone. I really don’t think you could go wrong with either. It’s as smooth as you can expect from a twin cylinder

It was still a decent road up until the early 80s.
