Dragon or Rattler?

[Scotts8826]

The Dragon will be crowded but one nice thing about it is there are a couple of professional photographers who will take pictures of you as you pass by. It is nice to have pictures of yourself riding the Spyder. I don't know if the Rattler has any photographers.

I've done the Rattler a dozen times .... never saw anyone taking pics ..... IMHO the " rattler " is mostly used by locals who either live there or nearby ..... Never saw an LEO either .... Mike :thumbup:

I like the "Snake", and it's only 40 min from my house. Road it today, after a light rain. This spyder is so nice to ride in the wet. Very confident inspiring, as long as you don't go crazy.

We were in Grundy, Va all last week. I took the long way home to Raleigh and did 1/2 of the Snake also. We came in from Damascus and headed south on 421.

This a little off the thread, I haven't ridden either the Dragon nor the Rattler, but plan on heading that way next month. Wife wants to do the Dragon, so may end up doing that one. We just got back from Deadwood, SD, and we rode Iron Mountain Road, so the Dragon better be great to beat IMR! No traffic, beautiful country side and a wonderful ride........OK, now back to The Dragon, traffic is what will disappoint me!

Just the opposite for us, we have ridden the Dragon, but will be out to ride the IMR during the 3 Wheeler Rally in Deadwood. I am one that rode the Dragon to say I did it, it was a few years ago, and the traffic wasn't horrible. The Cherahola Skyway was better for me as the driver - less technical and I was able to enjoy the scenery more.

I know the OP said he was taking other requests after this post, but if you are like me, I say ride the Dragon to say you did it. Catch the other roads when you have more time, they are all fun to ride and have beautiful scenery. That area of the country is my favorite place to ride.

The Cherahola skyway is a wonderful ride. Stop in Tellico planes for lunch, next to the river.
