I love driving down Black Mountain. Done it several times.
In 1980 I lived about 50 miles from Ashville. I owned a motorcycle and loved riding down Black Mountain. Over time, I "coasted" with no engine on faster and faster.
One time coming down that mountain, I think I was 85 mph or faster when I hit the bottom and right there at the foot was a police car. I saw him in my mirrors. Well, we had some serious rain the night before, and he was sitting on soft soil, and when he spun out, he got stuck.
I guarantee you, I did not go back to help him! Ahhh... Those were the days when I was much younger and much more stupid!
