Greetings CH, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oh man, thoroughly enjoyed this video. My buddy and I road there a few years ago. Great ride. But you gave me a whole new look at the area. Your choice of music with the drone was on point my brother. Always enjoyed listening to your perspective on your riding excursions. Ride safe and be safe. Until next time. Blessings. ✊🏾😁

Great video! Love the drone shots.

Great video. I agree with the boots. I can't buy another pair unless I get a heal toe shifter. AMAZING drone work with the music! 🔥🔥 Thanks for sharing!

[@craighanesworth]

Thanks Jeff. I need to see the new CVO ST in person. That bike looks awesome. Ride safe!

[@jeffwilliams716]

@@craighanesworthI will be taking it to Port Dover next month (pending weather reports). I'm going to reach out to a few creators that went last year to see who wants to meet up for the ride there or once we get there. I think you said you are not attending this year, if memory servers me correctly?

[@Jarvisbiker]

Damn, another trip I need to take !! Good one Craig !!

[@craighanesworth]

Thanks. It is a nice area!

[@GBeWinginIt]

The boots while extremely comfortable could use shift pad protection and a beefier toe box. However that would detract from the comfort your feeling now, and that's what sells that boot. Everything we do is a compromise of sorts. Awesome trip.

[@craighanesworth]

So true. They are great boots. Thanks for watching

Very nice Vlog My Brother! The Drone footage was amazing And seeing the Wildlife. I noticed that you have a Different Camera angle and not using the Voice recorder. It all looks and sounds Great!

[@craighanesworth]

Thanks Chris. I decided to experiment with using different camera angles from my helmet and go directly into the camera with the audio. You know we always trying to tweak things here and there. Thanks for watching

I agree with you about bringing the trailer, you can bring all the gear without being a packing wizard 😅

1 of my favorite places to eat is The Apple House in Pidgeon Forge. Hwy 441 from Gatlinburg to Cherokee, nc is a must ride, I usually ride it during the week when the traffic is a little lighter.

[@craighanesworth]

I will definitely try there next time. Always looking for new places to try. Thanks for watching

Last time I was in Cades Cove the Cicadas were hatching. Had never seen or heard them before and have not since. Must be 15 years ago.

[@craighanesworth]

@@dogbone1358 it was interesting, but I doubt I would go back

[@dogbone1358]

@@craighanesworth The Cove is more a historic thing than a riding thing. Drove through with the car stopping along the way to view what there was to see.

Just came back from a weekend out there. Rode Cherohala, the Dragon (on a Saturday no less, and it wasn’t that bad), Foothills, Blood Mountain plus others - fantastic riding. Riding through Gatlinburg and the main drag in Pigeon Forge, a DCT is almost a requirement because of the insane traffic - I won’t go through there again! How do you secure the trailer when you’re out riding for the day, and did you ever have warranty issues because you had a trailer hitch installed? Great trip and video 👍

[@craighanesworth]

Thanks for watching. I have to add Blood Mountain next time! When I leave the hotel, sometimes I will secure the trailer to a post or a tree with a lock and cable that I carry. But, I have just left it in a parking spot without hooking it to anything and never had a problem. I try to stay in areas where it is less of a worry. Also, if I have any concerns about the trailer, I will just leave it connected to the bike all of the time.

[@Hogdriver88]

@@craighanesworth I can see locking the trailer to something. Blood Mountain was awesome, but leave the trailer behind. I would consider the Dragon as a mere warm up in comparison!

[@BobLorentz-i5h]

I couldn't tell if you pulled the trailer the entire trip?? Or left it at the hotel??

[@craighanesworth]

@@BobLorentz-i5h I left it at the hotel

[@BracesandBoots1]

I don't know if you mentioned , but the traffic in the touristy areas can be entirely unacceptable

[@craighanesworth]
