Check this road out
I don't know where this is but what an awesome looking road. Not too sure about the trike in the middle....I've never ridden one but either they handle like crap or the rider has a death wish.

Re: Check this road out
I had no idea that a trike would do that well in the twisties. But, you're right. That guy on the white on was on the wrong side of the road way too much.

Re: Check this road out
its a tad bit more twisty than our Little Dragon portion of Hwy 49 -- but you need to pick a day when the traffic is the lightest

Re: Check this road out
That video was posted almost 3 years ago ... wonder if AJ is still alive.
Another reason the Dragon did not impress me nor holds any allure to return. It is packed full of idiots like AJ.

Re: Check this road out
I X'd out at 1:15 I X'ed out when the guy went TOTALLY out of his lane. Good thing some one else wasn't coming the other way..
NO WAY on a trike. NO WAY on bike, NO WAY on even a Can am. That road has gotten so geeked out. Prove yourself..... NOT I know there are other roads that are even better than the Dragon with fewer idiots on it in the area. I used to want to ride it but there are too many yahoos. NO THANKS. |

Re: Check this road out
This is how it's done. Yellow Wolf is rather famous for his Deal's Gap videos. Please note he's running Traxxion Dynamics Suspension in the front - fork cartridges, springs, triple clamp, all-balls bearings, and the rear shock as well.
He's taking it easy today so you can see his lines.  http://youtu.be/VxHNnOHuikI?hd=1 If you want to see all the wrong things, check out killboy.com.
