Default Interest in TN, Trip... Dragon Loop!

In light of all the interest in jacking Joe's thread with TN trip talk, here is the new thread.

I am going to look into places to stay in Clev, TN. The reason for Cleveland is because I know a route that takes us throgh the Ocoee river area & hit some twisties before hitting the skyway & then the Dragon...

Please feel free to post what you find as well... I have a truck & can tow 2 bikes on it... if someone has a trailer & could haul that too.

I'll post what I find... prob in the next two days.

Also post how your schedule looks... I would like o hang on to the last week of Vacation I have but am willing to sacrifice 2 days for this... maybe leave Th night & be up there Fri,Sat & Sun... come back on Monday? Just some ideas...

i would be in for sure....i have 2 trailers, 1-2bike trailer (nice) and 1-1 bike trailer (pretty nice)...so we could get 4 bikes on your truck with trailer. How many could you ride in your truck along with gear?

i'd like to leave Thur afternoon, get in late, sleep, up early and ride Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning , then head back Sunday afternoon to be to work on Monday. I would be down for a 4 day deal as well though, just hard to be away from the family for 4 days (sorry, im a puss).

either way....IM IN!!!!

I might be down for a trip to the dragon as long as my bike can do it. I've been having some issues. I think its the carbs

It takes about 10 hours to get there, so leaving Thurs afternoon and riding Fri probably wouldnt happen. If we leave Thurs morning we could be there by Thurs night and then ride on Fri.

As long as my bike is working propery I'll drag my kicktand and exhaust all over the Dragon

My buddy just came back from riding it with his Interceptor and said he LOVED it. From how excited he was on the phone, I'd say you all should go. He said it was really really bad ass.
