Nice pics again Matt.

Lynn's place is a great place to eat.

That's beautiful country. I hope to ride from San Diego for a day or two, maybe this (US) autumn, or next year. A little different to those gently forested hills I guess. Thanks for the pics. A fine looking group of people.

Fried cheesecake? Really, or are you having us on?

Cheers

It is the southeast USA, they fry everything. Thanks for taking the time to write up the trip. It is a great read.

Oh...PS on the last installment. I scraped the left peg once on my last pass through The Dragon. Again, I don't have the skills of most of you, but that was a pretty cool experience for me.

I'm going to Asheville in July and I'm thinking I'll throw the CB on my trailer and take her with me. Take a day out of our visit and check out the Dragon. The wifey is game on going with me, but wants to spend the night in Tennessee, come back to Asheville the next day. She's been on the Dragon in a van but never on a bike. Maybe things will workout. Thumbs Up

Sounds like a great side trip. Hope it works out and remember: if there aren't photos, it didn't happen.

Hi, I live just south of Ashville give me a shout before you come this way, perhaps we can meet.

Some co-workers are going to ride the Dragon this Summer. I told them to get me a T-Shirt and I'll just tell everybody I rode it...Tongue
