Burley Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 When you get to Murphy, take a ride up Hanging Dog Road. Been up there by car a few times. Not many people can say they've been to Hanging Dog. There's a general store and a baptist church. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi_Vis_Greg Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just did this ride earlier this month and went to the Dragon.....Then 2 weeks later, I picked up my Tracer GT. Wish I can do that trip all over again....will plan on it in the Spring 2021 for sure! If you haven't drove through Helen, GA, you need to...great town and great road in and out of that town! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And about 25 years ago backpacked over Blood Mountain while doing a piece of the Appalachian Trail. 🙂 "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Premium Member fddriver2 Posted October 24, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2020 Today was mostly touristy stuff while killing time to meet some friends in Highlands. Still made about 170 miles or so. Had lunch at Two tires Tavern which has motorcycle parking right out front. And pretty good bratwurst. Riding with my son who has my old XR1200. It's fun to watch people try to figure it out. 1 "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
