cool pics zaq.

haven't been since Honda Hoot died.

the Dragon (a definite must) is a blast if you can get a clear piece of road but imo Skyway > Dragon.

Thx.

Somehow or another I managed 2 wide open clean runs out and one back with Vids (coming soon).

But generally I agree, the Tail is an oddity you have to try, quite an experience for sure but 11 miles full of mostly first gear hairpins is quite a lot.

There are so many stellar mountains runs within a couple hours, it's pretty hard to pick the best.

Some great pics Zacwert6, amazing scenery, I'd love to do it one day. But it'll have to wait until I win the lottery, or at least until the kids move out

Looks like biking heaven, can't believe 18 minutes of non-stop curves Looks like you could get sucked into a couple of them though.

Maybe they should set up a bit of competition for the IOMTT in that area

The tail is absolutely insane, most of those are pure hair pins. One mistake and you're off the road. Not much else out there like it.

The whole tristate area is paradise though, you can ride for hours and never find a straight section of road. Hard to come home and enjoy a ride is the only drawback.

Haha, isn't that the truth? I made my wife sick in the car just from going the speed limit! It does suck to go back to FL roads after NC/SC/TN
