I had my 748 on the gap a couple times, but I lived in Florida then. The very first time I rode the 748 was on 9 between Black Mountain and Lake Lure, but that was before 2 knee replacements.

I'll throw one in. I've recently bought a Monster 1200S to assign it this duty.

It's a beautiful piece of road, but too many people to suit my taste. I did once find a beautiful piece of road in Georgia, not hardly a soul on it. Those are my kind of places.
Timing is everything.
Try a holiday. Did 129 last year on Good Friday.
That was heaven. Planning the same this year.

That was June 2019 on my way to the MOA rally in Lebanon. I ran that bike 75 mph all the way down and back.

My first time thru was in a car by accident. Why wife and I were out driving around the mountains and saw on the map as a way back to Tennessee. Well.... by the time we got thru I was cussing the bikes (first time in my life) with so may in my lane. My wife couldn't believe I was cussing motorcycles. It was about twenty years age. I did remember a story in the AMA magazine about it by the time we got to the lake and said "That must have been the road I read about in my AMA book". First time on a bike was 08 on my 500 ninja.
