Hey, Ty. Fellow Tennessean here. I live in Kingsport, so I'm close to all the phenomenal rides of northeastern TN, southwestern VA, and Kentucky. The Triangle is about 220 miles, if memory serves. I also like the Snake. I have a long list of fantastic rides pretty much right outside my front door here in Kingsport, and I love that! I've been in 49 states and Tennessee is the best riding I've ever experienced. There are phenomenal rides all across the nation, but I like this area the best. If I had to choose a second favorite, it would be the mountains of southern California. Lived and rode there for about 13 years. That would be a close tie with Utah. It's all good!! Thanks for sharing your journey!! It just never gets old!!
Hey Timothy! No doubt. It's been a few years for me too, but I'm hoping to make the trip this summer. Thank you very much for watching! I appreciate your time today!
Hi Jim. Yeah, I'm hoping to be able to go back to Brushy Mountain Penitentiary this riding season. I've never been on the tour, but we did stop by the gift shop. Thanks for watching!
Nice video Ty, we have ridden the Triangle twice and it is an amazing ride. I like it better than the Dragon just because the traffic is a lot less. Thanks for another good video. Keep safe bro.
I thought that prison looked familiar. We saw it when trail riding about 15 years ago. I had to leave my 4runner over night out there that night. Came back with the trailer next day.
Brushy Mountain is very creepy after dark for sure. I'm hoping to go back again this Spring/Summer. Thank you very much for watching! I appreciate your time today!
Been riding since 1970. HD guy now. Never understood when on a beautiful road why some riders want to go like a MOTOGP race…SLOW DOWN..take in the sights. Enjoy the ride….
Excellent video, Ty...looks like a great ride on a great bike! Cool tour. We had a closed down penitentiary when I was a kid me and some friends explored it---weirdness! Love those roads, man! Mighty tight!
It looks like a great ride. There's a road here in California that I ride occasionally, it's a long distance from my house. North of San Francisco is Hwy 1 a long over 100 miles of hills and curves, but last 19 miles is very tight and the distance between corners is short or non existent. There are no sweepers and one somewhat straight section of about 2 miles somewhere in the middle. You really need to focus, especially at a brisk pace.
Dang man. I'm pretty sure I've heard others talk about Hwy 1. It sounds like a lot of roads we have over our way here in TN. Maybe one day I'll get to check it out. Thanks for the comment, Ted. I appreciate your time today and thank you for watching!
It’s a great area over there. Some really cool roadside attractions along the way too. I hope you get to go soon and thank you very much for watching!!
I know dude! I'm going back soon and going inside for the tour. We just made a super quick pit stop but I want to go back for the full day next time around.
Last year we did a good portion of The Devil's Triangle. We didn't get to do the 330 part but we did the 62 and 116 parts and I think it was one of (if not) my favorite ride ever! It was so much fun. I tried to explain it to a friend and the best way I could describe the Devil's Triangle was bipolar. Certain parts give you a false sense of security, it's calm and relaxing than all of a sudden it gets angry! lol. Would love to go back again! Oh and the prison looked cool.
That's exactly right! The turns seemed very deceptive! It was a great day of riding and I hope to go back soon. I really appreciate your time and thanks for checking out the channel!
TDT is a good ride, the road seems to be rough, there are stretches that have a lot of driveways and loose gravel 2 sides of the triangle are boring at best... 116 is a fun road to ride and there are other good roads in the area you just have to look for them. I haven't been since the prison opened I'm looking forward to going back to do the tour and lunch....
Hi Donny! The last time I went to there was when I filmed this video and I do remember the roads being rough from place to place. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing if you like the content. I appreciate your time today!
The devil's triangle is one of those roads that you have to ride while you're down in the Murrayville tail of the dragon area very challenging 180 switch backs into inclines very challenging period I got a kick out of. All the churches strategically placed along the road with the idea that no one could build a bar along that route. Very good idea, drinking and riding. The devil will certainly get you an appointment with that despicable character for sure..😅
I have ridden the entire triangle as well as both directions on the Dragon. If you can ride the triangle then you can ride anything. Far more of a challenge than the Dragon. My entire ride on the triangle we saw 4 cars and 1 bike, but people do live on the route so beware of driveways.
Best ride in the east! Do it in the opposite direction as Ty did. Video does not capture the exhilaration of this ride. Experienced riders only need apply. Enjoy
It's been a while since I've been to the Devil's Triangle, but I think I need to go back soon. I remember that being a fantastic ride. Thanks for watching!!
With all due respect, I didn't see anything that would make me think the Devil's Triangle was more of a "ride" than the Tail of the Dragon. Just my own opinion....
Hey Jeffrey. I don't disagree with you. It's been a few years since I've been to the Triangle. Hoping to go back this Spring/Summer. Take care sir and ride safe!
