Performance Driving

With the good weather, my birthday, and the approach of summer, as a radio ad 20-ish years ago said: "Ah, Spring, when a young man's thoughts turn to...motorcycles!" While not having a two-wheeled performance machine, my MR2 and Magnum do well in their own right, and I'm game on occasion to revisit the corners of their capabilities (well within the constraints of applicable traffic laws, of course :>) ).
With that in mind, a list of places to visit for such things should likely include the "Tail of the Dragon," a stretch of US129 in the Smoky Mountains southeast of Knoxville, TN. A number of web sites refer to it, including this one, which seems pretty comprehensive in its coverage of the area.
