All bikers ( and sports car owners / drivers ) should go at least once. When its crowded on the pretty weekends , it can be painfully slow . Best time to ride is during the week with the early arriving Maxers . Anywhere from 15-35 usually make the scene sometime during the week , and stay / camp out nearby or at the Dragon main store / gas station / motel . Professional pictures are be taken on some of the curves and can be purchased on line after your trip. Many excellent roads close by as well , and less traveled.
V.M.O.A. site is touting a trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway in Boone , N.C. on 5/18/12 - 5/20/12 . Staying at the Hidden Valley Motel . That would be Marcus territory .
