There are many other roads in that area which offer good riding and aren't as crowded. The Tail is knucklehead mecca.

I feel bad for the u-haul driver. They gotta unload/reload all that crap they were hauling into another u-haul truck just to have to unload it again when they get to wherever they are going.

It looks like a nice road but the traffic looks like people leaving a Dodgers game. I thought that our Angeles Crest highway was bad on the weekends…it’s not like that.

I thought this Tail of the Dragon story was interesting:

Spend a ton of time in the Carolinas. I avoid the Tail for all the things you see in these videos. Way too many bad drivers looking to make social media content often at the expense of others.

West Va has 3000 roads as good.
W Va is a driver's mecca. Sparse traffic and some of the best roads in the country. The Dragon is a ridiculous 1st/2nd gear circus parade.

I used to live in Cumming, Georgia, and my buddy and I used to drive our cars around Dahlonega, Blood Mountain, etc. Good roads with no traffic.

Around 9 years ago on my way to a NASCAR race I made a side trip to Stuart VA. to visit the Wood Brothers Museum. I was in my Z06 and found a road with more switchbacks and elevation changes that it wore me out.The best part was that there was no traffic.
