New Guy From Tail Of The Dragon Territory

Hello everyone!

New rider here from the North Carolina mountains. My primary ride is a 2009 Ducati 1198, and my secondary is a 2001 Yamaha 426F. I just recently stumbled upon motovlogging and it really peaked my interest. I don't have any videos, but I've come here seeking guidance and I'm eager to learn. Riding is something I wish I did more, so I see this new hobby as a better excuse to ride.

A little background on me:

I grew up in a tiny town near Asheville, NC. Bought my first motorcycle on my 19th birthday and haven't lacked a two-wheel mobile since. I moved to Florida in 2010 (Miami, then Daytona Beach) and returned home this May for a career opportunity. I mainly ride mountain roads throughout western NC and eastern TN, although I try to do at least 2 track days a year. Most of my friends have sold their dirt rides, so I would like to get rid of mine for something a little more street-friendly to ride on my lazy days (test rode an FZ07 and loved it).

I look forward to getting to know each of you and learning along the way. Ride safe!
 
Welcome to the forum!

Envious of you having the tail on your doorstep!
Thanks! I know the tail draws a lot of attention, but there are TONS of roads in this area that are just as fun and much less crowded. One of my favorites and the closest to me is called "The Devil's Whip" (NC Hwy 80). Plenty of twisties and elevation change, and nowhere near as crowded as the Dragon
