Ultimate Adventure 2022 Ep 5: Battling Tail of the Dragon and Coalmont OHV Park | MotorTrend

Опубликовано 9 декабря 2022, 20:00

Day 6 of Ultimate Adventure (UA) was a road day, traveling from Oliver Springs to Kimball, Tennessee. After all of these years, though, the group knows that UA isn’t just going to lead them down the interstate. Instead, it led them down US 129, through the “Tail of the Dragon” to Deals Gap, North Carolina. The Tail of the Dragon is an 11-mile paved road with 318 turns—popular with motorcycles and sports cars.

The final day of Ultimate Adventure (UA) 2022 wrapped up on Day 7 at Coalmont OHV Park in Coalmont, Tennessee. Unlike the private parks visited earlier in the week, Coalmont is public land that the town bought from Grundy County with federal RTP funds, and although past years that have ended with a bang (literally) as participants abandoned the mantra of “wheel for the week, not for the day,” this year was relatively tame, covering trails in the 1,347-acre park. Still, the day started roughly for invited reader Matt Anderson, whose 302 engine developed a bad rod-knock. Then Ian Johnson and Jeff Ismail battled electrical issues, and Ken Smith managed to tear his transfer case mount off on the way to a huge limestone cave in Coppinger Cove.
