memphis was awesome. the trip we took to nashville and then down through Natchez Trace in Alabama/Mississippi and then up to Memphis was INCREDIBLE. wasabout 1700 miles total. it HURT on a Harley, so don't expect much on the rocket. I'd rather trailer it down to there and then ride. Especially the Deal's Gap ride. There are a couple others out there that are better because they are less crowded.

Ryan was talking about a country ride last fall that Im not sure if happened due to distance but it was going up north to door county I think???

I have always wanted to drive route 66 maybe someday that will happen but for sure that would be in a car so that doesnt help you out.

maybe put something like a throttlemeister on your bike or similar to give your right hand a rest on a long ride like that.

i know alot of car guys that go to the dragon and they say there is a ALOT of roads that are just as good if not better then the dragon that are all within 20-30 miles of the dragon that aren't nearly as busy. just a thought google maps is your friend.

Once it gets warm again, I'm going for another extended bike ride.

Deals Gap is great. You might also want to consider the Blue Ridge Parkway or Shenandoah's Skyline Drive. Unfortunately, they are all about 650 miles or more away. You also have to spend 200 miles in Indiana, which sucks more than anything else.

The roads out in Sturgis are much better than the dragon.

Iron mountain road etc...

large portions of the gap are closed right now due to a rock slide FYI
