While on vacation in North Carolina last week, I had the opportunity to drive the section of US 129 that is known as the "Tail of the Dragon". 318 curves in 11 miles. It was just recently paved so it was very smooth. Their was approx. 500 Hondas on the road that day, I believe that they came from the "Honda Hoot" that was being held in Knoxville. I included the web address for those who are interested. http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ This road might be a good Friday trip during the Pigeon Forge show in 2004. Scott Mueller 002981
