• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I have got a friend here at work that is making a trip to NC on there HD. There plan is to make a stop at Deals Gap. We are still hearing rumors that the Dragon is still closed due the rock slides. Can anyone confirm this rumor or what's up? Thanks in advance!
 
Deals Gap Open

Here's the website for the Deal's Gap Motorcycle Store and Resort... http://www.dealsgap.com/index.html
There's a notice on their site saying the Dragon is open on a limited basis until the rock slide on US129 is cleaned up.... Len

You can do the Dragon but it's essentially a closed road. You enter from the North Carolina side and continue until the road is blocked by the police. You turn around and then go back out the way you came.
It's still a fun ride.

I was there last week. True, you enter and exit the Dragon from the NC side. If you start at Deal's Gap, you can still get 11 miles in. The road is blocked and guarded about 2 1/2 miles up from the slide (you cannot see the slide from the barricade). The run was not too crowded, especially during the week. Weekends are a little worse. The road is only open from 8AM to 8PM but it was alot of fun:2thumbs:
The other roads like the Cherohala Skyway are open, ready and waiting.
Go for it!:f_spider:
 
My wife and I are on our way back from the dragon. As of Monday it is open from the south about 11 miles. It is only open from 0800-2000. You can run it up and turn around at the last big overlook is what we did. TN Troopers are still watching it close. They said you can go 39mph. Hit 40 or over and you will get a ticket.
