Motorcycle Trip Day 2: Tail of the Dragon - On Board Shots

Below are on-board photos on the Tail of the Dragon -- an 11-mile,  318 turn stretch of US 129 on the Tennessee / North Carolina border.   

The GoPro video camera from which these still photos were culled, was attached to the windscreen of my Honda VTX motorcycle.  The angles reflect the angle of my bike as it went through the  turns on the Dragon.
  
The motorcycle in most of these photos is ridden by my buddy Steve Winters, whose GoPro was used.  The videos are being edited and will soon be posted on YouTube.


Enter the Dragon.  Sign on right warns of curves -- LOTS of curve -- for next 11 miles.



3-wheel Can-Am (on right). Saw surprising number of Can-Ams on Dragon & Blue Ridge Parkway










Arriving in Deals Gap, NC, end of the Dragon. Note the silver Dragon sculpture on the right.
