Deal's Gap, a section of US Highway 129 along the southwest border of Smokey Mountains National Park, is considered one of the penultimate tests of a motorcyclist's skill. The tightly twisted road, known as "The Dragon," boasts 318 sharp curves in it's 11-mile length. The "Tree of Shame," an otherwise unassuming Sycamore, carries the symbolic remains of those who failed to complete the course, having been "bit by the Dragon."
