Everyone knows Hwy 29 "The Dragon's Tail, but as a local, I know getting there is just as fun. From the intersection of Hwy 28 and Hwy 11 in West Union, SC up to the Dragons Tail (along Hwy 28) is motorcycle gold the whole way. And if you want a different route back, take a tour through Tellico Plains, The Cherohala Skyway through Robbinsville down to Wayah Rd and on down 76 to War Woman Road back onto 28 south to West Union. Back in the early 2000's me and a group of Honda Magna owners would do this twice a year all in a single day. The area has grown up a bit since then, so now it might take 2 days to accomplish, but certainly well worth the ride. Us locals call this loop the Dragon's Breath since it incorporates the Dragon's Tail as well as all the area twisties. Also nearby is the Blue Ridge Parkway and there are so many routes to create in this are where SC, NC, TN, & GA meet

My apologies, it's not hwy 76 south from Franklin after Wayah road, it's hwy 23 south to Clayton, GA where you pick up War Woman Road back to hwy 28. Some of us who were tired by this point in the day ride would take the easier (yet still fun) hwy 76 from Clayton back towards West Union.

That road will give a workout. I rode this route at the end of a day long ride and by the time I hit the coast my wrist were sore, great problem to have.

I did a solo ride around North America last year, riding various routes on published Top 10 lists - including the Pig Trail and North Cascades that you mentioned. They were both on my trip's Tops list. Looking forward to the next part of your series, because I am guessing that you will include more routes that I rode and are also on my Top 10.

Great suggestions for the new year! You mentioned that a great road is one that you are willing to travel half of the country to get to. I am curious how you get to these roads. Do you (1) ride there, (2) trailer the motorcycle, or (3) fly and rent? Curious how you get to those far away roads.

Since I don't have a cruiser, I don't ride to very many roads. I usually trailer my motorcycle. However, I have rented as well. I bet you could get a rental place to rent you bikes for free if you added some promo for them on your videos. Maybe they would even chip in some for your airfare? Might be a good way to see different places on someone else's dime. 😉 Thanks for the videos. Love your content!

I love my fjr.I love riding my fjr, however I'm not able to where I live in South Between the soft ground and crooked politicians we have to have the worst roads in America! I've ridden on better roads in 3rd world countries.literally.I don't even take it out anymore unless it's to creep to a freeway and get out of the state and depending on which freeway it might get destroyed before you make it out of state.the roads around are brutal on street bikes!three words,pot holes,buckles.nothing enjoyable about hitting a 4x4 post laying across the road every 100 feet or so which is what the buckled up roads are like or having your front wheel fall off in a 5 gallon bucket out of the clear blue at 60 mph which iswhat the pot holes are like.ALL roads around here have one or the other,some have both.ive been through 3 front wheels on my klr in two years because they were bent beyond repair.the t7 so far has been the only bike to withstand the abuse so far.when I take the fjr out I spend more time screaming and cursing when my teeth get jarred out of my head every two minutes than it's worth.Iwould highly advise anyone riding anything besides a durable dual sport or something to go around Louisiana all together if you care about your bike and are trying to enjoy the ride.they dont deserve one red cent from motorcycle tourism if they cant do any better than this!!
