Default Guys riding the Dragon

"Tails of the Dragon"

These guys have some amazing riding skills!! .. I don't really like the fact that they are passing other bikers/cars on the wrong side and doing this on public roads...BUT I love how they handle their bikes around those corners .. This makes me drool. Sorry they aren't riding hondas but still a good youtube vid.

Hope to go to the Dragon not this upcoming weekend but the next

Oh for those who haven't heard .. the THP are everywhere now on the Dragon. Too many accidents.

Yea I love it up there. I have some friends off another forum that live close to it n hit it 3-4x a week. And yes LEO is in force up there! But there are ways to work with/around it. Not to mention lots of other roads.

Tenn dont make no $$ off the Dragon except for the citiations. And they foot the bill for all the airlifts n medical attention when riders go down and not covered by ins. Not to mention its the bikers that brought this on. All of us are guilty to a point, some more than others. And it will be us that will make it better by playing by the rules set forth to us.


Ok grown up responsible talk over. The LEO's up there suck. But if ppl watch it fun still can be had.

Justic06rr you're right, the rider being filmed is on a '06 GSXR600 with Pilot Supercorsas tires and the Cameraman is riding a '06 FZ1 with Qualifier Front and Pilot Power Rear tires.

My friends just got back and they each have 3 tickets a piece. They said the cops didn't even have to radar you, if you look like your speeding your whole group got the same ticket you did. So needless to say they got to know the cops real well in their week long stay.

nope no radar. They point lol. Things tat get their attention are extremely loud pipes (like when you are winding it out in 2nd lol), relocated/hard to see tags. Do dry runs to see where they are n if they are just parked or cuirsing about before trying to play too much.

I just like the road and dont have to go to awlful fast to make it exciting but I know that changes after tyme lol.
