Great Bikes! Great Brothers! Great Riding!
Though the weather was hot that did not stop the riding at the Tail of the Dragon located on a stretch of Hwy129 from NC to Tenn. This was just the second year of Honda Fury enthusiasts/owners attending to tame the Dragon and we had members coming from over 600 miles away to be in attendance for the ride and meet fellow Honda Fury owners.
This being the second year, a charity raffle was added to show support to some of our military personnel that have been wounded in the field of combat. The wounded Warriors Project was the perfect fit for the groups of riders known as the Fury Nation to show their support for those not able to enjoy what we love, to ride, and for those that have PTSD that use riding as a release, comfort and to bond with new brothers.
The sun was out in full blast, but the mountain shade and an early departure from our meeting point at the Microtel in Robbinsville, NC made for a little cooler temperature and some great riding! No mechanical issues and driving with common sense made for a great safe run on the Tail of Dragon.
The Microtel provided their meeting room to us for both Friday and Saturday evening. This is where we had the raffle as well as was a place to relax and un-wind after a day of riding. Below are all the members of Furyforums.com that participated in the Ride on the Tail of the Dragon. We are already looking forward to next year!
