Default The Dragon.

I've been going there for years with cars and motorcycles. This is the first time my photo has ever been shared in Killboy's weekly highlights. Gotta love the 997's.

Envy you living in NC and having access to Deals Gap and all the amazing roads in that area.

PS: Don't see a pic though.

Heading there on my MV Agusta F4 in September after the visiting Indianapolis for the MotoGP in August. Eventually I wanna drive the dragon instead of riding the dragon. My Porsche has the Deals Gap license plate too...318 curves in 11 miles...The Dragon!

+1. Have ridden both the dragon and the Cherohala. Cant even sight see while riding the Dragon. The Cherohala is a a joy to ride. Relaxing and beautiful, with just the right curves. Haven't driven either yet.

There are really great roads in East TN, North GA and Western NC. We are hitting them every 6-8 weeks with a group of PCARS from ATL. This photo of my PCAR on the DRAGON was posted by 129 Slayer. It was also the PCA photo of the month in November 2013.

I've been through there in other cars but not my 911 yet. Very pretty area in the fall.

I did the dragon in my 86 Carrera. I had a blast until I looked at my then girlfriend who was green and made me pull over. I'll be back this summer with the now wife, kids and Q7 diesel. Shame the 997 will be home!
