Comments on youtube video disabled...........too many people telling the guy what a jerk he is? Watched it all the way through wondering when he was going to take himself or others out.

While he is lucky that didn't happen I am not a bit surprised there was a cop at the north end waiting to pull him over or mop him up. He got lucky there too however I would not post this if I were Hemrick Performance as how to ride a Road King on the Dragon........how not too more appropriate.

the guy definititley took some chances. more than i ever would. i don't think the video was sped up as others suggested, the engine sound was too consistent and the reflection of him in the w/shield was too smooth also.


i would like to ride that tail some day.

I agree with you all the old boy took alot of chances.. and could have gotten his self and other's hurt or Killed.. I've never been on the Tail of the dragon, but have heard alot of stories about people that have been hurt and some that have died.. I heard awhile back that a guy came up missing and six months later a guy crashed and there beside of him was a wreaked bike and the remains of the guy that was missing.. I'm sorry if I offended some of you all with this video.. I won't make that mistake again.. I would never run thru there like that ,But I thought it was cool to take the ride thru the camera or Video.. Have a good day..Tom

Hell, anybody can ride over their head. He's an ******* for riding the Dragon like that. I'm sure everybody that seen him thought the same as well. Especailly the bikers going the other way.

No apology needed from you my friend. No offense taken either. Just reminded us that there will always be buttholes on the road. Funny thing is he's probably one of those that bitch about the cagers being ******** all the time.

You don't need to apologize, the guy in the video was the one riding like an idiot.

Lets give a lot of credit to the guy in the yellow wolf video that has the camera on his bike.
He rode just as good as the yellow bike. And maintained a safe following distance as well.
