Back of the Dragon Ride

Unread postby steve seitz » Sun Jun 11, 2017 7:39 pm

Charles and I rode up Hwy 16 to Tazewell VA early Friday morning. We explored several new roads around the area and then worked our way over to Princeton WV. Saturday we checked out the "Dragon Roars" festival. There were local motorcycle dealers present (BMW, Triumph, Ducati, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha). The Monster Energy stunt team demonstrated aerial stunts. Also there were bike and car shows, road map companies, and moto safety companies present. We covered around 560 miles and rode some very curvy roads.

That is a classic ride, not many others around compare to it. Scenic ridge/scenic valley/repeat.
