Great post. My RTI instructor told us about this stretch of road. He goes every year.

Highly overated.There are tons of roads in the Smokies with a lot less traffic.Great place to hook up with buds tho.

I'd love to see the day where trucks are not allowed on that road.
I cant see why any vehicle that must use up the on coming lane out of necessity would be allowed on a road. It makes no sense.
Great post BTW

The problem is a lot of the GPS units take the trucks in there considering it's a faster route through the mountains. Once they actually get on the stretch of road, it's impossible to turn back around.

I've experienced a truck on that very stretch of road and its scary to say the least, especially when you come around a blind corner, only to see a truck taking up the whole road and you have no where to go! Thank goodness, the killboy photographers and the other riders/ drivers go out of their way to warn you.
lol I didn't even watch the video.Did you rip this quote right out of the video or something? lol
