TAIL OF THE DRAGON - WASHINGTON DC 2007
Touring Highlights

This photo was taken from the roof of the U.S. Capital looking westerly down the Mall at the Washington Monument.
Note the guard in foreground who was heavily armed and very alert. We got a special tour that
took us places where many of the standard tours do not go. Thanks the the Motorcycle Riders of the Capital Police.
Tail of the Dragon attended the 2007 Washington DC Motorcycle Show in January. We played tourist for a few days and here are some of the highlights. It would take a couple of weeks to see all of the sights here in Washington. We plan to take the next three or four years to see just the greatest highlights. Watch for next years trip.

Our personal tour guide in the Capital. The Capital Police who come to the Tail of the Dragon every year arranged for us to have this tour and a tour of the White House.

Looks more like the remains of the UFO from Roswell, NM
