Warrior and I are planning a ride out to the Indy MotoGP via Motorcyclepedia Museum, Newburg, NY, Gettysburg, Tail of the Dragon, and the Indianapolis Speedway then home. We have 10 days, new tires, grandstand seats, on-track "controlled ride" tickets and passes for all three days of the Indy Grand Prix.

Below is the plan of attack:

This is a general idea. Any suggestions on roads and must see attractions would be appreciated.

Out of curiosity, who else is going to the Indy GP? Shout out if you want to meet up.

Thanks!

When in Robbinsville, you will probably take a few runs up and down the Dragon, might I suggest heading west over the Cherehola Skyway the next day its pretty awsome! over to Tellico Plaines and then back over as such.

The controlled ride on the track used to be fun, but I hear they have it pretty much to a crawl now. I ripped around the track a few years ago on my Speed Triple at well over 100 mph across the bricks for two laps. That was pretty incredible just to look up into the stands and almost feel what the racers experience. There are some great roads down south of Bloomington IN. Do a search for the roads and you will see what I am talking about. Story IN for example has about the twistiest that you will find in Indiana!

Cherehola Skyway is a great idea! Thanks for the map.

I expect the controlled ride to be very "controlled". With the number and various levels of rider ability it could be nightmare.

Laguna Seca had moto-pratrolmen on track w/ the parade lap participants.
