indiantoo Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Every one makes a big deal out of the Tai of the Dragon road. During my trip on West coast we went on and I think it was rte 109 out of the sequoia National Park. After this 44 miles of "WOW", the Dragon is like that quarter ride outside K-mart or girls girls(Trust me on this) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 wow....must be something...the Dragon and one of the other roads around it are enough in a fully loaded SUV much less a motorcycle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiantoo Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 I really wanted to get off and weep. Dragon tail is about 14 miles, this is 44 miles. It wore me out. Had a beer wagon following and HE was dazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lschultz Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ya we rode the Dragon a few yrs back was not nothing special to me. There are lots of roads around just as good or better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2V2 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Looks like Route 198? Wowsers, that's right up my alley. The Dragon is a great road on a weekday when it's quiet. Busy weekends, not so much. What it really lacks is elvation changes. You want to ride a good road in TN? Between the end of the Dragon and Foothills Parkway is Happy Valley Road. Now that's a nice ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toycar10 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I hit the Dragon by accident several yeas ago driving from Tn to Va had never heard of it was just the shortest distance to get where I was going. I was driving a goldwing at the time and it was a bitch lol went back about 2 years ago for fun and had a good time hit it 1st thing in the morning when everyone was asleep me and my buddies had the road to our selves and had a blast.

indiantoo Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Fell down and jogged my memory...By Lake Izabell, Left at Kernsville onto Kern river road, Right on Western Divide Hwy/190 into Springville. For those who dare... It will take you a day to pry your hands off of the grips. I like straight shots myself but this WILL make you cry for mercy!!!! I laugh at The tail of the dragon.......
