Default Seems like this is a bad month ...

Two riders in a single accident were air-lifted off the Cherohala last week after high-siding at mile 11 on the North Carolina side. Injuries did not sound life threatening. A female rider rode off of US 129 into the Cheoah River on Friday. Speed was not a factor but for some reason she overbraked and went off the road and into the river.

Holy crap! I'm telling you, sooner or later they are going to line that thing with speedbumps.

Default Honestly, when I drove it, speed wasn't the issue. Staying in the lane was. I think I hit

the limit maybe 4 or five times and I'm not sure I ever went over. And I was driving hard.

Default Sometimes you don't realize you're going over...

As was the case with me in this photo ;-)

I've seen some motorcycles going stupid stupid fast on that road. Don't get me wrong, I love that road. I've hammered my car up there about as hard as I can, and hope to be able to continue doing so. The way society is getting, though, I just don't know how much longer stuff like this is going to be tolerated.


Quick Reply: has anyone seen this about the dragon?!
