been looking at killboy.com and there are quite a few car clubs gettin together and running deals gap on weekends..i have ridin my motorcycle through the gap several times..would anyone be interested in a run thru there one weekend???maybe a group of 4 eyes??comon puter i know u like curves!!!!!

 

Deal's Gap is an awesome ride

 

Is this a fun as the tail of the dragon?

 

Tail of the Dragon,Deals gap,,same thing,,its called Tail of the Dragon because from the air(helicoptor,plane)the road looks like a dragons tail..

 

TN club is doing it this weekend. They also will be doing it in May.

 

Great road. Just watch out for trucks coming the other way as they tend to block both lanes through turns and also DON'T cross the double yellow. There are cops on deer stands with cameras and radios calling ahead. They love to write tickets for this one.

 

Love the Gap, been there many times on a motorcycle, but never a car. Got to be carefull, though. My first day there, a guy was run over when his bike went under a truck, next day spent most of the day getting a guy up from a severe fall down a ravine. My buddy then wrecked his brand new GSXR 750 there on another trip. They call it the Dragon because it bites back!

 

In more ways than one.

 

This road is better driven during the week when there's less traffic. Deb and I drove it on a Thus. a few years ago and hardly saw anyone.

Read all about it. Pitfalls as well as excitement abound. Just watch out for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. They're apparently quite vicious and not flexible in any way to cars and motorcycles... and are prowling the Dragon all the time.

Funnily enough, videos abound where they patently ignore the truckers who cross the lines... although the 'how an 18 wheeler is allowed' question comes up, as well as 'how in the heck do you expect them NOT to cross the lines? The curves are *stupid* tight...'

But that's just me, the outsider, reading it... and viewing it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...tail+of+the+dr

/SO wanna go do this in Awesome... and then follow it with Ride.
//I need a motorcycle trailer.
///Which means I'd have to put a hitch on Awesome, and I don't think she'd like it much...
////So I need a motorcycle and car together trailer behind an F250 or something, yeah?

 

motorcycle in the f250, car on a trailer, problem.solved.

deals gap is awesome! I want to go up there someday...midweek. The cops are rediculous I hear

 

There are better roads in the area as well.....but i'm not sharing.

 

If you want to meet up there one Wednesday I'm game. Probably would take around 3hrs I think to get there from here. Have you ever been on the Cherohala Skyway? It's a great drive, especially when the leaves are changing.

 

The word 'Duh' comes to mind...

 

Just got back last night ran the ran the tail of the dragon sunday had a great time give me a few days to recoup and will post some pics

 

i hear there are better roads up there, prolly good that noone says where!
