left tuesday on the X to cruise the mountains, and visit family.
Had a great time. Rode solo since the few I ride with had to work or couldn't get time off.

Highly recommend Cherohala Skyway and 129 "The Dragon".
Good roads to give the vtx a work out.

No mechanical problems. 1236 miles in 3 days.

The Dragon is good for an adrenelin rush but the Cherohala Skyway has some great sweepers and beautiful views. Glad you had a good time.

That's a great place to ride, have been there twice this year. Planning on at least two more. I have been lucky enough to have been going there my whole life. My father was born there and was raised on those roads.

Check out www.trailofthedragon.com (http://www.trailofthedragon.com) and then go to Killboy's website and look up the date you were there, he may have taken your photo.

Rode the dragon on the 29th, no pics on the site. :(

Have been reading the tail of the dragon for a while now, its a good site.
