there is only .1 or .2 miles on the NC side though

There are a ton of other good roads that are available close by though.

Oh crap...only been on it a couple of times and don't even remember where the state line is.

The Skyway seems pretty decent ?

If you dont mind +$500 tickets with an automatic court return. They give a lot of federal tickets up there, so I stay away. It's not as patroled, but when it is, it's definitely not worth it.

Plus with the GS and DRZ, I rather ride the Gravelhala if I go up there.

Yea same here.

yeah a lot of people do, it's a lot faster and smoother. I enjoy the technical aspect of the gap more. Plus I know the road. I can visualize every single turn from looking at an overhead map. It's just got that home track feel to it.

thats the prob. i think, people treat it as such...

i was unnerving and i guess i'm not used to having bikes come "at me, at speed" let alone all th elev. changes and the corners.

it is not usually(not even here in Canada), but even if it was, they still need to have an ambulance patrol near the road, and if there are no incidences, then the city would not get reimbursed.

Insurance doesn't pay for the police and fire that have to come to the scene, just the ambulance ride (I believe).

Besides, half of people don't even have insurance, so they end up having to either eat the cost or pass it on to people who do have insurance.
