In NC after being diverted by rain I went around and ended up going through SMokey mountain National Park.

Went over to Augusta and spent a couple days at my friends camp on the Savanah River.

In the distance over the trees you can see the cooling tower for the Vogel nuke plant.

Tree of Tragedy. I am sure it has a real name but that is what I call it. They collect up peices of bikes that wreck on the Dragon and hang them from the tree.

Everyone was really sane when I went through. There were a couple of goobers tearing through on crotch rockets.

I did see one bike in a ditch and a bunch of bikes stopped helping the guy. He was up and walking around. 3 guesses what kind of bike

I wasn't worried about getting a speeding ticket, it was tough just doing the speed limit

No shiat, I never thought of 20mph being "fast" before. Did you notice the pattern for the turns tends to repeat itself?

Welcome home, Petey!!!!!!!

I thought of you when I was riding the Dragon. I had no problem dragging the floorboards going right but going left I had to force it

I noticed some of the turns were banked enough to load the suspension
