The trip to deals gap almost didnt occur. 5 of us were to meet to load up the bikes onto 2 trailers. 2 GSXR 1000's, Hayabusa, Honda CBR 929, and a Yamaha R6. The driver of one of the trucks had a little mishap a few hours before we were to meet up. He lost control of the bike and ran into a curb. Bent both wheels. Luckily a buddy of mine had an extra set for sale. We take off from Rockville, MD for Pigeon Forge TN. We reached our destination in about 7 1/2 hours. We unloaded all the bikes, and inspected all the bikes. Got to work and installed the wheels onto the gixxer 1000 with the bent wheels. I cannot describe in words what deals gap is. I thought to myseld, who the hell in there f%ed up mind would design such a road. The first pass went by real quick. We came up from the TN side. Pulled over at the Deals Gap resort shop. BSed some and headhed out to the Cherohola Skyway. If anyone is big on long sweepers this is the road for you. I didnt see a single car on the entire run on the skyway. I hate typing, I will just post pics instead.
The first pic is a shot off the Smokey MTNs. Avoid this road at all cost. Too much damn tourist traffic. Great scenary though
