If you take 72 N/W at the top of the lake over to 360, you'll find 360 a great drive, lots of nice sweepers that can be taken with quite a bit of pace, but you can find it well patrolled as well. And, it seems the NC HP has found hwy 28 to be a nice revenue stream too and a nice game with local attorneys in the small jusidictions that will be happy to plea your case down to a lower infraction for a couple hundred bucks.

I've done 2 trips in the spring over the last 2 years, and while it is a great drive, it is becoming a bit too much as noted above. Too many people, too many bikes at both extremes - sport bikes going way too fast, and cruisers going way to slow, and of course too much attention from law enforcement which is probably well deserved.

Will I go up again?, probably, but with a more relaxed pace and enjoy the drive. It's just not worth the worry to drive too aggessively and risk a ticket, or even an accident due to another idiot driving too fast or too slow.
