    Well I am in and if you would like to run some roads very close to Helen and just as nice or better than the Dragon let me know. I've spent a good part of my days running around the N.Ga mountains on my bikes.

    Here's a little sample of a rip on the 1200, on a fav road that is not the dragon

    Ahhh the LEAF PEOPLE. Wonderful bunch. They are known to stop in the middle of the road with doors open to get a photo. Not a good thing to experience on a blind corner

    Never been to the Tail of the Dragon. I've always wanted to go but that weekend doesn't work for me. Sounds awesome and I like what you're trying to put together. I will definitely follow and track this event for next year! Have fun and be safe!

    You might need an alignment, maybe not since the drop isn't too much. Just a heads up though.

    Still 100% going to go, but unsure if I'm gonna stay overnight or not. I live pretty close (North GA here, despite my location being Chattanooga), so...

    Really, it depends on how much gin I drink that night

    I just hung out in Chattanooga on Saturday. Got drunk, sobered up, and then drove home at 4am.

    I'd love to do this. I've been on the Dragon before, but not in a fun car. Maybe I'll catch you guys on another run. Alos, there is going to be a Hyundai Genesis Coupe gtg to run Tail of the Dragon this coming weekend (10/5-7) so I guess you guys will see all of those guys too. My buddy is going up with his Gen Coupe and has not stopped talking about it. I'm jealous.

    I'm going for sure now. Got pretty much everything on the car squared away today. I'll be coming up from South ATL if anyone is nearby and would like to cruise up from there. Planning on stopping at the Best Buy in Buford around 8am to meet up with chubs and anyone else.

    I really enjoyed meeting and seeing everyone. Good turn out.

    I took Blood Mountain home and wow was it fun! But the Mazda Speed 3 group that we saw at the Dragon had two cars smashed into the side of the mountain.

    Yikes!
