A Cool Video from the Tail of the Dragon.

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.

Mr Sleepy,
What's cool?
That he is riding past his skill level?
That he is trying to ride the bike past it's ability?
That he lacks the skill to ride that fast and judgement to realise his bike is being pushed past it's ability?
That by not being able to keep his bike in his lane?
Risking injury and property damage to other's because he can't stay in his lane?
I'm so happy to be square if that's cool.
Riding and driving is becoming a lost art.

a good reason not to go into a turn without knowing what is around it that may be coming right at you. No reason why this type of vehicle should be allowed on this particular stretch of highway....referring to the tractor trailer video, the other rider on the gold wing is a good case of another organ donor..

Yellow wolf reckless also. Almost every curve he was riding on the yellow line. With tires on the yellow and the bike leaning the bike is in the oncoming lane.
Nothing to admire there. Can't stay in your lane your going too fast for your ability, your bikes design, both.
To those that want to be a bad *** rider go to the track and race.

I thought the goal was to color in the lines...
I've never been but is the point of Deals Gap to thrash your bike or have a scenic ride, idk?
Not impressed but maybe harder than it looks.

Yellow wolf can ride. He was in control the whole way. Did drift to the yellow line too much, but he was in control and could have pulled back right at any time. Thanx for the video.

The trail bike was also an 1800 gold wing. Honda's may have" no sole" but the GoldWing is an awsome bike.

I don't have no where neer the experence riding that most of you all have, up till about a month ago, It had been thirty five years since I rode a bike. I think the guy that drove thru there put his life and other's lifes on the line, But I bet thats not his first time goin thru there,and from what I saw he did a good job at it with exception of crossing the lines.. in the video alot of driver's moved over and let him pass.. I thought it was a cool video, I won't ever go thru there like that and I would bet that you won't either. But its nice to see someone Tame the Tail of the dragon. Thru a video. I'm just glad no one got hurt.. Thanks again for your thoughts.. Tom

That video was disturbing to watch. I'm not sure what was worse, crossing the yellow lines or the close tailgating in an already precarious road. Thanks for the reminder that threats aren't always in the form of cagers and trucks.
