I got my 2010 in 2009 and everyone waved and flipped halos. It was a fun time. Funny how stuff comes back up. There is an old thread on this that must be 20 pages and it has been a running joke for 10 years here. Some people really got upset over it. Lol

I'll wave at all Camaros,bikes, etc. Just friendly, I guess.,

The tail?

Here’s your typical HD rider on the Dragon:

I’ve had more negative experiences with HD riders not giving a damn about anyone else but themselves when out on rides, so your little we are are brothers leaves out one group. While I have known a few that could ride, most can’t. They get sold on the “lifestyle” and think they know what they are doing, but usually don’t. As for me, I used to drag my elbows on high dollar Italian sport bikes at speeds your HD would only see falling out of an airplane. I will also grant you the growing number of squids on sport bikes that act like total a$$hats. You can usually spot them by the T-shirt’s and shorts while doing 120+. All the gear, all the time. I’m sure you’re a good brother out there, you own a Camaro, so you obviously have class, but I’m no fan of a certain set after decades of first hand experience.

ive owned two corvettes and the "corvette wave" is actually a real thing

I try waving or at least giving a nod to other owners of say my lexus ls460L and nothing, they wont even look at you if you are on fire

Even when I had a Goldwing i'd wave and not get one back. On the way to work the other night, a kid on a street bike pulled up beside me and flipped me off, why? I'm in the right lane, cruise set at 68 listing to the radio and this happens. Is it because I'm on a Harley, didn't like the song on my radio? Or is it that people riding street bikes are that way? I choose to think not. Just a kid that listened to the BS that somebody told him. Keep the wheels on the payment and be safe brother.

Awesome! The world is in very short supply of nice people!

Don't feed the squids. They are just looking for a reason to wheelie or do a burnout LOL. Ignore them and they go away. That group of riders operates on another level of stupid. You're basically scraping the bottom of the barrel with that group.

Super props! But could you imagine the yard sale off a Goldwing?

That would be an amazing, but sad sight for sure.

I drove the Tail once in our Camaro. We stumbled on it after the Blue Ridge Parkway. I had no idea what we were getting into.


After twice encountering oncoming motorcycles and almost swerving off the road I said F'it, let them die. I guess the word went out that Mr. Asshole was on the road because that was the end of that.




BTW, Deals Gap is not the Dragon's Trail. It is a completely different road.

My bad Fred, wrong vid...

[Rock-It Man]

The most consistent and enthusiastic waving and flashing I experienced was during the summer of 1970, when I drove my VW Westfalia camper van coast to coast and back. Participation was 100%. And of course, the camaraderie continued in the campgrounds.

Everyone who owned a "Westie" loved it, abysmal horsepower and all.

[HawkeyeZL1]

I waved to a fellow Camaro owner yesterday as we passed and he waved back. There's still hope for us.

[Rock-It Man]

There are some great roads in the Smokies other than Tail of the Dragon. No one is on them, even in the middle of the Summer. I was there last year and had a blast, all by my lonesome.

Look at some maps and explore!

Im in Canada and took a trip to the Smokey Mountains...Shelbyville area or somewhere around there a few years back. We went to this old pioneer village at the top of a mountain. Is this the same area as the dragons tail?
