Looks like FUN !!!!

that tail of the dragon seems to be the place to go in the south east for a true driving/riding adventure. (if you can avoid the unskilled)
 
So when are you getting another FD :D

I just sold mine :(... I will have another in another in a couple of years.
 
Cool article. The problem with "The Tail" is that Semi Trucks sometimes use it and CANNOT navigate the turns, often ending up in oncoming traffic, blindly. The roads around "The Tail" are much better, less traveled and more challenging.

^ dont' mind the Harley that cannot turn (more than enough room), the lack of proper riding gear (orange sleeveless shirts won't protectant you) and a lack of ability to brake from 40 mph in 5 seconds (most Harley's do not have good brakes and most owners are terrible at using them). The point is these Semi Trucks have no business being on a road that forces them to blindly change lanes.

About half way into the video I was hoping he would drive off the cliff. That music was God aweful
 
I never really considered HWY 1 as a terrifying road but it made the list somehow. Never been to the tail of the dragon but out here we have an area of HWY 49 known as the little dragon.

Can't believe I just sat through 1 minute and 51 seconds of that video while listening to 'Big girls don't cry - Fergie'. Thanks Todd.
