i haven't been on the dragon in about 10 years or so...it was pretty quiet when I was there...no cops either.

Its commercialized now, cops everywhere.

The Dragon just has way too many people out there to have a real good time.

not to mention a cop around every bend.  (pretty much literally)

kinda funny as 129 is pretty much all in TN and all the riders to the area stay in NC, robbinsvile and the locals love us as we bring tons of cash to the area. TN gets their cut using tickets and aggressive enforcement. All the guys i ride with avoid the road and stay in NC and even WV.

way back they found out the TN troopers were hiding in the trees and filming "violaters" and calling ahead down the road. they stopped a lawyer and he exposed the entire thing when he had his day in court.

That's wanting to give out tickets pretty dam bad to hide in tree's, when got my Vette a few years back I was kind of a lead foot, but knock on wood never got a ticket.

NC just passed a law where if you are 1mph over cops will pull you. Wonder if that will change how that goes. We've not seen any cops ever on the Snake. Knock on wood.

Sure is a nice ride Brandt.  But that monthly would scare the hell out of me.

I always dreamt of a hot wife and a Ferrari.  Well, I had the hot wife and the monthly on that turned out to be about twice what a Ferrari would have cost me.  I guess the car would have been a better choice.  Heck, I could have been on my third one by now and all good memories.

Enjoy the hell out of it.

Will do! I have always loved exotic and fast cars so I just had to snag it. Is it cheap? Nah not by any means, but we live once best I can tell and I am going to enjoy my time here.

As a child of the 80's.. the lambo and exotics of the day caught my eye, had the posters on the wall.. then the guy down the street had a Honda 1000 CB something or other and would ride wheelies down the street and I was like.. coooooollllll!!  Got to know him, Jay, and a couple months later he would give me a mini bike frame and I built my first bike.

From that point cars just didn't make sense anymore, well most don't except the 1971 BMW 2002

Made a mistake of driving the new 488 the other day. So I traded in the 458 for a 2017 488GTB Friday.

Way off. The old one was 205k used. This one is well north of 300k.
