You should’ve stopped at Dave’s 209, awesome burgers. We used to live in that community and the boys went to school at the old Spring Creek school where Dave’s 209 is now located. That ride is also known by several other names, it’s called a gambler because you pass through the communities of Trust and Luck, it’s also known as the Appalachian medley.
Beautiful! Riding from Colorado May 3rd to ride Cherohala Skyway & the Dragon, thinking I need to squeeze some more time to do the Rattler, thank you :-)
Turn left on 25 and head down to Bobarosa Saloon is mainly a biker stop over. It has a small motel on the property and sits on the banks of the French Broad River in Del Rio, Tn.
Yep. Did 209 once. The chickens and other wildlife were there to greet us. We ran into everything from the chickens to groundhogs and deer. The chickens did not cross the road, they stood out there to block us. 😁
You guys need to ride the Snake in Shady Valley TN. It’s not as long but more challenging. The Harley shop there or store has pretty reasonable priced stuff all things considered.
Love to ride the smokie mtns . most of our riding has been around maggie valley to deals gap area. Love hwy 19 as for us 28 plus the 129. We have not ridden our motorcycle to townsen yet but We are familiar with the area. Thanks for reminding me how much fun it is! It rained on us alot in June of 2020. Went back in October 2021 never rained until the day we left.
Excellent point! But I guess, in this instance, looks can be deceiving. We were riding and relaxing, and not out to set any land speed records. Just the same, I appreciate you looking out for me/us, and I will not forget your kind words of wisdom.
Thanks for the ride; that was enjoyable. Agree re lack of good signage.... Wondering what kind of critter that was who crossed the road not long bef the 30 min mark.... Peacock? Wild turkey? Anyhoo, thanks for the lovely journey on a beautiful day! 👍😊
Rattler info: Don't stop in hot springs. (At all.for any reason lol) -the cops WILL shake you down. Go the other way if you see one. Stop at, "DAVES 209". Not much here for food or drink. So it's a welcome sight for food, and it's VERY good. Plus it's nice to support them. Not many people here
Daves is 23:50. Seriously, BEST burger 🍔 in the whole wide world. 😆 Hot springs would be the next town after Dave's going this direction....hot springs local law thinks their town is a for the wealthy and if you aren't in (or on) a 200k plus car. .. they will view this as an opportunity to generate some revenue and help keep you from interacting with the elite 😉
Down to my left is a GoPro 7 Black filming in 1080p. FYI - It is attached via a RAM mount that attaches to my left hand grip & clutch cluster. On my helmet is a Sena 10C intercom/camera.

Looked a bit fast brother. As speed increases, our margin of allowable error decreases. Double yellow pass? Crusin for a brusin.

Yes
What pipes are you using? They sound great!
Vance/Hines, header pipes too.
Awesome video. What kind of camera are you using? Fork mounted?

@@motorcycleadventurerider Thank you. I planning a cross country trip and wanted to look into recording the rides.
there are much better roads in that area than the Dragon
a little choppy at 10:23
Are they biker friendly around those parts ? And how about the gas situation ?
