I *HIGHLY* recommend going to The Tail of the Dragon!!! That's one of the
most roadster friendly roads I've ever seen! Bring a strong stomach and a

out for a ton of motorcycles, but it's well worth the time and effort to get
there!
If there is a big group going someday soon, please let me know! :)
