Default dragons tail

look it up on line, shoudl be a good time, as bikers will not be to plentiful, during the summer its a favorite place and the ricers spend alot of time killing themsleves trying top push the corners to much. As you know anythhing fun on four wheels can be a different blast on two. I partake of both, and plan to do dragons tail in the bike, and a vette one day. Check it ou, suppose to be 112 turns in a very short distance??

How about Nashville? Made a trip there last summer with eight other Corvette owners...stayed at the Hampton Inn a few blocks off Broadway and the honky-tonks. Nice indoor parking garage with plenty of room to park all the vettes safely away from the riff-raff

Getting there you could drive to Oxford, MS...a pretty area, and pick up the Natchez Trace near Tupelo. Beautiful road that will take you close to Nashville.

Nashville TN would be a good place to go or Branson, MO. Plenty of things to do in each city.
