Tail of the Dragon — US-129.
318 curves in 11 miles. Zero stop signs. Zero traffic lights. The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, straddling the North Carolina-Tennessee border, is the most famous motorcycle road in America. Dense Appalachian forest lines every inch of the tight, technical S-curve sequence that tests every rider who attempts it.
