Nice pics....I ran Deal's Gap two years ago. I was in my Cobra and I had a friend driving his Z06. I led the way into Tennessee and he led the way back.
We went one Friday morning and had the road to ourselves. That was one of the most intense rides of my life. If I had someone riding with me they would have thrown up for sure.
For those that do not know, Deal's Gap (Tail of the Dragon) is 318 curves in 11 miles and is America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. Not to mention you are going up, over and down a mountain.
I ran it flat out and never got out of second gear......
