lol, i wouldn't consider anything without central air, and those don't seem to come very cheap. these are the 3 cheapest in robbinsville, just over the border where i'd want to be. they start topping a quarter million pretty quickly.

vacation. i've been somewhat itching to get back to some fun roads, so i went specifically for tail of the dragon. drove it something like 8 times, half of the time was at night. started feeling the rhythm of it, making me drive faster, and making it feel faster. was time to back off before the locals showed me how slow i actually was.
being in the off season, it was odd though. i've gone before in september a couple years ago and ran across all sorts of other enthusiasts that i ended up driving with. made it a little more fun to share the experience. this time, it was just me and the road the entire time. there were a few locals in jeeps and utility vehicles that broke up the rhythm from time to time, but barely any motorcycles, no sport bikes, and no sports cars for the entire time. granted it was in the middle of the week, but still, never been there where it wasn't some sort of busy. i've never before made a full run from start to finish like that without getting caught up to other more cautious traffic. this time, there was absolutely no traffic at all. out of the 8 runs, there were about 4 harley's, and 10 passenger vehicles always going the opposite way. never saw anyone going the same direction. the cops weren't even hiding in the bushes like they usually do. it was really odd.
it reminded me of the first time i drove it nearly 5 years ago right as it became a huge deal, just as killboy started taking pictures on it...
