I had another appointment on Wednesday. A month ago, I got injections in my one good eye in an attempt to get rid of the fluid behind my retina that is affecting my site. The doctor was very pleased with the results so far. He said that most of the fluid is gone and he is hopeful that the treatment is. going to work. I got two Moore injections in the eye and will return in 6 weeks for another test. I may need more shots at that time and in fact, it could. be an ongoing thing. He just doesn't know yet. I really can't tell that the vision has improved but he is hopeful that it will. Even if they stop it from getting worse, I'll be ok with that. So, yesterday I celebrated by taking about a 100 mile ride. Sure felt good.

Hello Venture Riders. My bro in law and I went on a nice 1000-mile ride to Tenn and NC to ride the Dragon and several other roads down there. We Rode the Dragon 3 times, Cherohala Skyway, which was closed because a bridge was out, so we had to do it in sections, Over the mountain from Cherokee to Pidgeon Forge and the Foothills Parkway and through the Dragon to Robbinsville. I have done this several times through my riding years, but it was Jeff's first time on a motorcycle, a 2006 RSV of course, and he loved every mile of it. It will be next spring before we both can get back down there, but we are looking forward to another wonderful adventure. Oh, he refused to drag the floorboards on the Dragon even though I showed him how several times. 😁 Steve.

Beautiful roads in that area. Any biker should ride the dragon but once you’ve done it, you’ve done it. Many other nice rides all around there though.

It's great to see some Gen 1s in the wild!

It got a bit chilly overnight but the right mummy bag did it’s job. Met at a Harley shop in Logan Ut. who supplied an awesome breakfast. Did an organized ride with the Vagos up to Preston Id for a day of motorcycle rodeo, food trucks, raffle, live band, camping and of course drinking among other things. Great time! My first moto camping.

Cool that looks like fun

We were in Maggie Valley the first of September and rode up to the dragon, we did ride it again on the Goldwing it hasn't changed but everyone should experience it at least once we have been enjoying those roads at least once a year for the past bunch of years our next trip to the area will be the Asheville get together August 2024

We used to see big trucks on the Dragon years ago. Finally, the state of Tennessee stopped anything over 30 feet from going through there. I try to go during the week, so we don't have to deal with the weekend riders. I have ridden hundreds of miles of roads in Tennessee, North and South Carolina in the Smoky Mountains through my riding years. It is some of the most beautiful riding in the south. Steve.

Done it a couple time from north to south. But the last time I was going to ride it would be from south to north. I didnt get out of site of the restaurant and a big rig ran me off the road and never looked back. So I'm done with it. I would say if you have to do it go north to south. For some reasons big rigs think its a good short cut from Tn to NC. Even though there are huge signs telling them its against law .

What was it? Bent wheel or bent fork.... just curious if it has been resolved yet.

It could be as simple as having the steering head bearings a little to loose. Adjustments are made in 32nd inch increments.
