Me, aaron, and bryan just got back from riding the Tail of the Dragon. Bryan should have some pics later, and there's a video in the works from aaron. That road is a BLAST! It really pushes the limits of the celi. We did see some dumbasses out there in like a firebird, a mustang, and this brokeass nissan sentra with a big ass tach, some fart can muffler. He couldn't hold a freakin match to the celi!

where we were on the part of the road, it looked REALLY bad, and there was some gravel/**** on the road. That was our first time through there, too - so we had NO idea what was coming around each turn. That was the NC side, the TN side has nice new asphalt. I can't speak for the other guys, but at first I was on the brakes a little hard, because I wasn't sure how much the turn I was in was going to keep turning. There were a couple times when I had to slow down a lot right in a turn, because I just wasn't going to make it at the speed I was going.
Hopefully once we get used to the road we can hit it a bit harder. Oh, another thing: I was on stock suspension, with only kumho 711's adding anything bryan has a nice suspension setup -but was on stock tires aaron had a bad back right tire hopefully we won't be "limping" around next time
