Wings on the Dragon

[RussD]

You guys gotta check this video out. These guys are hitting the Dragon's Tail hard on a couple of GoldWings. If you listen, you can hear their footpegs scraping they're diving in so low.......Pretty Awesome!!  I guess the guy whose bike the camera is on is called Fuse. They call him that because he's got an Alpine bass box in his travel trunk & a pretty juiced system that kept blowing fuses   ;)

WOW! I hope there's extra pegs in them thar trunks! It's an awesome ride and I look forward to doing again next year. I hope more people can come next time.

It's funny........I've never heard of Deal's Gap before this summer, and now, it's ALL I keep hearing about! I think maybe it's a sign that I'm supposed to get down there. I hear they usually average one fatality per season down there, but I guess they've had 3 in the last month......one was this past weekend......Guy lost it and ran into an oncoming truck? ? ?:-\

Gives a whole new meaning to "sport" touring!  Great video clips.

Kind of reminds me of Don last fall riding his Venture on the Caliente-Bodfish road.  The sound of footboards or exhausts dragging on the pavement is awesome.  Fuse should change his nickname to "Sparks" after that run!

Cool road, but can anyone say apex? Corner timing? But, hey if they are on goldwings it's pretty impressive really.

I loved it when they went blowing by that cruiser that was in front of them........that guy looked like he was just putzing along!!   ;D

A good buddy of mine just came back from a trip around there on his Bandit 1200. He says it's indeed one of the most interesting roads to ride on. Now I can really see why. Gee!

I have to admit, riding a Goldwing that hard is something else though.

That'd be sweet..........if you guys don't mind me bringin' the Bird instead of the V   ;D

Was just looking this thread up again.........promised the Honda dealer yesterday I'd send it to him. Told him he'd be grinnin' ear to ear
