From a cop up there

"Hey, just to give you a heads up for next season----we have a new captain in the knoxville district which covers blount county------ he has already told us that we will put a stop to the "race track driving" up on the dragon this year------so far what they have said is that the speed limit is 30mph and "ANYONE" caught going 50mph and up will be charged with reckless driving and will be jailed and their bike/car will be impounded--- --I am telling you this because i am trying to put the word out to everyone i know----or to people who know people that go up there-----I don't want to have to take people to jail for this---however I have bills to pay and I kind of like having a job---so never the less I have to do what i am told to do-----so the way i see it is that if killboy.com knows and you know and dealsgap.com knows and whoever else can find out can pass this along---it will benefit everybody--- -----feel free to copy and past this and let everyone know-------if you get caught up there it is only your fault because i am trying to pass the word along for everybody's sake-----we are not just going to come up from the bottom like in years past---they are gonna have us go through cherohala skwy in north carolina and come from the top down to the bottom----so no more free rides on your way back to the state line----they are gonna bring unmarked cars with radio's and have unmarked bikes up there----this will be a joint effort with blount county and the THP-----The entire THP motor unit will be brought in 2 people at a time(for a week long assignment) to be paired up with the local car----they plan on busting tail at least 3-4 times right off the bat---then they will sit back and see what takes place-----these orders came from Nashville Headquarters- --we have a complete brand new higher ranking structure from the very tip top spot down----they have said we will work until the problem is solved----just wanted to give you and your friends a heads up.......... SIGNED... .......Trp Cagle with THP assigned to Blount County Division---- (don't come crying to me if you get busted----cause I'm telling you now)"

Lots of the cars in our group had trouble getting over the 50mph mark anyway.

[Kremithefrog]

Some had trouble going anywhere.

[ChattavegasSE]

Yeah but we fixed that. I smelled like coolant for a week.

Ross is gonna have to hook us up with track time. Get us a track, Ross.

[ChattavegasSE]

I dunno, John. Since we go in late fall/early winter, there's usually not a lot of folks up there. Take a trip up there in June/July. You'll see plenty of motards out there actin a fool; which is mainly what the fuzz wants to target. When we go up there, you usually don't see a lot of anything going on; which is why we picked the first or second weekend in October for the past 5 or so years. I'm not worried, there might be more cops here and there, but just so long as you keep your head on a swivel (and don't think you're the fastest on the mountain) you'll be just fine.

Wow that really sucks. I hit like 80-90 a couple of times......

Why are they trying to ruin this?

[ChattavegasSE]

I dunno, maybe because it's illegal and it's their job?

I understand that.....but for the most part it isn't too bad out there.

The police starts cracking down, people stop coming, and EVERYONE suffers.
