Hey guys been checking this forum out for awhile now while trying to decide what bike I should buy, and this place helped me a lot on my decision. Just bought a 93 gs500 and I'm still very new at riding. I love it so far for sure. Guess I'll put a pic of the bike now that its nice and clean... was super dirty when I bought it. I live just North East of Nashville I'll be turning 21 this upcoming Monday and I'm in the Tennessee National Guard.

I've got an idea of what I want it to look like eventually, but it's going to take some work and time.
Thanks :)

I actually just found that out a couple weeks ago. I've always seen videos and pictures of it but didn't think it was so close. Once my buddy gets his new bike we're going to plan a trip there.
get on interstate 40, then get on 140 toward maryville. follow it til it comes to a T. turn right. you are less than 5 miles from 129 entrance.. follow 3 or 4 miles. will notice signs for dragon on left. turn accordingly. some back country riding. you come to a market, riding along waterway, then to dam after dam/overlook its on. just watch out for THP on tn side. NC doesnt really care tbh. friend has maserati, and a friend of his driving a ferrari 458 got a ticket lol.
