Bridgewater, MA | Anyone Interested in a Tail of Dragon run this year?
http://www.tailofthedragon.com/
Im thinking either May or Aug.
Let me know if you are interested or not.
If the run is done in May, it will probably be more rider only focused, but if done in Aug it is ussualy riders and passengers. |

| I live in the area. Just make sure you make time to ride the Cherahola skyway. It's a 10x better road without the PR support. Kinda like Harley's... All hype lol. But seriously, ive ridden both a lot, the dragon doesn't compair to the skyway, also rt 28, rt 215, rt280 blue ridge parkway are great roads. Enjoy |

Cicero, Indiana | Weather permitting we are gong to ride down from indy this 3 day holiday weekend! We have never one the dragon and she has never been to gatlinburg. We need a break and some chill time! I have a feeling we will do the parkway more than the dragon but I don't care just want a nice ride! Need a hotel or cabin that's not going to kill the bank any suggestions? |

| Here is a crazy idea, how about doing a Meet & Greet at the Dragon's Den Grill & Deal's Gap Resort & Campground (south end of Deal's Gap, in NC) in August? It's not too long of a trip for those east of the Mississippi, from my house on the IL/WI line to Knoxville it's only 640 miles........... |
