Tail of the Dragon
The Tail of the Dragon, commonly called Deals Gap, is an 11 mile stretch of US 129 in North Carolina and Tennessee, that is one of the most famous and renowned locations for motorcyclists and road enthusiasts in America. Ride Deals Gap Tail of the Dragon and wind through the roads more than 318 curves taking you through some gorgeous sights and sounds as this famous stretch of highway runs along the border of the Great Smoky Mountains National park. Several of the curves have frightening names, however most drivers and riders consider the road a well-maintained, safe road. The land alongside the 11 mile stretch of highway is restricted for development, therefore there is never any traffic turning off or onto the stretch, and the speed limit remains at 30 miles per hour so that motorists can enjoy the sights and sounds along the way.

Ride the Tail of the Dragon and go through sharp corners like, Gravity Cavity, Beginner’s End and Brake, and Wheelie Hell. These and other curves on the Tail of the Dragon have been featured in a few Hollywood movie productions including, the 1993 hit The Fugitive, 1999’s In Dreams and a few lesser known others.
