– woke up south of deals gap NC to do the dragon<\/p>\n

– first got breakfast at some weird mom n pop spot. Cafeteria style. Was real good <\/p>\n

– people watch out front after eating. There was a Honda metric cruiser with a rear car tire. Wtf. The dude who owned the bike was a very large man<\/p>\n

– I heard Quinn really likes metric cruisers. I could see him getting one when he kills his guzzi<\/p>\n

– we packed up camp. Rode to deals gap to drink Red Bull before doing the dragon<\/p>\n

– on the porch of the gas station we overheard old dudes talking about how sportster 1200’s are women’s bikes, ha<\/p>\n

– did the dragon<\/p>\n

– my impression: eh<\/p>\n

– it was too tight and slow for my liking. If you went fast it felt unsafe or like you’re pushing it. The zrx is a pig. It’d be more fun on my cb450 or ct1-175<\/p>\n

– I much prefer the fast, long sweepers of blue ridge<\/p>\n

– rode backroads to Knoxville for lunch. Shrimp n grits<\/p>\n

– rode to Johnson City for dinner. Met Ben and Bonnie. Got tacos. Ben bought a house. It’s a real house. Not our cardboard and glue bullshit in philly<\/p>\n
