THE MOST DRIVEN  MOTORCYCLE ROAD IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA IS DEALS GAP, ALSO KNOWN AS THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON, THAT HAS 318 CURVES IN 11 MILES.  THAT IS APPROXIMATLEY 29 CURVES IN EACH MILE. THEY HAVE THE TREE OF SHAME THERE AND IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON YOU CAN PUT YOUR DAMAGED PARTS OF YOUR MOTORCYCLE ON THE TREE OF SHAME.  METRIC MOTORCYCLES AND HARLEY DAVIDSONS  RIDE THIS ROAD AND CHALLENGE THEMSELVES TO  318 TURNS IN 11 MILES.  YOU MUST BE CAREFUL ON THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON AS THIS YEAR WE HAVE ALREADY HAD 5 FATALITIES .  THE DRAGON IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD RIDE YOUR MOTORCYCLE  ON WITH THE UTMOST SAFETY.  ON NOVEMBER 15, 2009 GOOD MORNING AMERICAN AIRED A SEGMENT  WHERE THEY ROAD THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON AND TOLD ALL ABOUT THE 318 CURVES AND TURNS.  WE GET MANY RIDERS FROM EUROPE, CHILE, AND ALL OVER THE WORLD COMING TO RIDE ON THE DRAGON.

Did you know that The Dragon’s Tail (US 129 Deal’s Gap Tennessee) is listed as one of the Top 4 Legendary Rides in the Harley Davidson Ride Atlas of North America?  This 11-mile stretch of US 129 has 318 curves with tight turns and blind spots, and motorists travel alongside wild boars and other wildlife that call this region home.  The Dragon’s Tails rich history includes the filming of some scenes from Robert Mitchum’s 1958 moonshine flick Thunder Road as well as The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford.
