[QUOTE=Mal74;7177384]Yeah, he crossed the yellow line a few times. The way I saw it it was never in blind curves and he could see what he was doing.
We have these things in GA, NC, TN, and surrounding states called CURVES and HILLS.
Flatlanders sometimes have trouble grasping what these are, or how to ride them!
just sayin .....................

Come out west to see real curves and hills. The "hills" start at 10,000 ft. :

I don't care if you cross the center line intentionally to give yourself a better line for the next corner, but this guy crossed over UN=intentionally at least 16 times by my count because he couldn't hold it in a right turn. As far as I'm concerned he's a statistic waiting to happen. I crossed over once unintentionally and I still think about it all the time, thinking "boy what could have just happened".

Mr. Sleepy,
I normally dont give "to" many comments on peoples posts but I feel I need to on this one. It isnt cool! its an asswipe waiting to get someone killed (Note I said someone, as Sometimes you need to thin the herd. He should had stayed home and practiced on a track/class staying within his line! he crossed the lines so many times and passes others (the duelly truck was a close one) that he is exactly why this road is being cracked down upon! This should be a mandatory viedo in the riders training class on HOW NOT TO RIDE...JMHO

He's an amateur trying to show off. Most likely, a statistic in waiting. I just hope he doesn't take out any innocents when he goes down, and he WILL go down, if he continues like that.
More riding mistakes in that video than in a normal 10 videos.

The best of the Deals Gap video is the one of Yellow Wolf on his Honda Gold Wing.
He is an awsome rider on powerful and nimble bike.
