Thread: Our recent trip to the mountains

Tweet

Yes, we did 441 a couple of times that week. That accounted for most of the long mountain pulls. I think it's something like 16 miles of just about constant grade on one side. Luckily, there was enough traffic that I was able to pull it in second without holding up folks behind me. Those 2.75 gears really suck in that kind of situation.

Gatlinburg has definitely changed since you were there. There is a casino and the town has turned into a mega shopping area. Traffic was just about at parking lot status. We usually bypass it when we can. Absolutely no fun on a motorcycle unless you like walking your bike.

Edit - That casino is in Cherokee, but there may be one in Gatlinburg, too.
