Tail of the Dragon on new 3R

I appreciate the leads. I thought the back of the dragon was Suches to dahlonega so it's like xmas in july to get new leads for great roads. I found the blue ridge pkwy this spring, old murphey rd, some foothills, cherohala skyway is a staple and we spent aa full day 500 miles exploring Georgia. I have to say Ga roads might be better but I much prefer the resident drivers in NC, they seem to have unlimited patience when it comes to bikers(me riding like a jacka$$). My stepson had new pipes in his streetglide and after an aggressive stretch of twisties he announced the new pipes were like training wheels and just slid on them around turns, lol. hwy 28 from the hotel at the tail to Franklin is very good and deserted.
 
A better ride? Every state out west has a better ride. Just saying.

Heavy Edit:

"Every state out west has a better ride" than Tail of the Dragon. Well, possibly- But, I guess that depends on how you define "better." I'm not a fan boy of TOD, so it might not be very hard to convince me, but let's go ahead and see your list.

I am not a fan boy of acronyms so enlighten me about the TOD reference please. I am curious about that, however I feel no need to convince you. You are entitled to your opinion.
 
TOD - Tail of the Dragon. Not sure what you think my opinion is. I said there are better rides than the Tail of the Dragon.
 
I’ve ridden east and west and it’s impossible to say one is better. Curves are curves and both have views but the terrain is different.
 
I think it’s great just to see some videos of the Rocket actually in action. When I can stump up the cash for a GoPro, I’ll do some vids of some of our Scottish roads. I’ve already substantially ground the foot pegs on my R3!
