With the leaves comin' down, the bikers will start to dwindle away for the season. The leaves make the roadway slick & dangerous for them.
It is likely that your biggest concern will be leaf lookers, but most will be on the Smokey Mountains Parkway.
That said, the LEOs love to write tickets for crossing the double yellow since you really can't destroy the speed limit too badly on the Dragon. Wreckless or careless driving looks really bad to an insurance company, so it will cost you for a long time if you get a ticket.
Safety has been my greatest concern about the Dragon trips. I'm working the recovery effort (managing a FEMA debris site) from the storms down here in Florida so I can't make it this year. I want to see everybody there next year, so be safe & enjoy the meet!
