"The Dragon", a stretch of U.S. Highway 129 from North Carolina to Tennessee which contains over 318 curves in 11 miles, is renowned as one of the area's premier motorcycling roads and plays host to hundreds of thousands of riders annually. During the segment, Weir met with several representatives from the new Indian Motorcycle Company, and took a ride on the challenging stretch of Hwy 129 aboard the newest incarnation of America's first motorcycle brand. Located in Kings Mountain, NC, the Indian Motorcycle Company is the newest of few America motorcycle companies and has been developing the re-emergence of the brand since 2005. Wheels Through Time Museum curator, Dale Walksler, of Maggie Valley, NC was also along for the shoot, to highlight a bit of history on the Indian Motorcycle, and to join the ride aboard one of the museum's 300+ vintage motorcycles. "It was an honor to play a role in this weeks Good Morning America shoot," said Walksler. "Anything that we can do to bring more tourism to the mountains is a win for everyone, and GMA choosing to highlight motorcycle tourism brings some of our area's best offerings to one of our largest demographics."
