DEALS GAP ON A GOLDWING WingPro Rider 

Can not say it better.

I made this ride twice. One on my old FLH Shovel Head and once on my 94 Heritage. Both bikes suck for that ride. Sit too low.

Jim, been out there a couple of times and been up and down the Dragon probably 8 times. Early in the morning is definitely the time to be there. All the other times it was a rolling traffic jam. From a riding standpoint that day was a blast.

Shorty454 Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion. If I ever get out that way I'll be sure to look it up.

MemphisMike no matter what bike that man can ride

You fool.. Head over the double yellow lines in oncoming traffic is not good riding.

had to use most of the road in the sweepers

found out later that you aren't suppose to take trucks on it,oh well

Glad to hear you made it OK. Yep, been closed to trucks for a few years. Problem is, if you ever get started down it there is no place to turn a truck and trailer around. You're pretty much committed at that point.

We took our F-350 crew cab dually towing our 35 foot Jaco with the tandem jet skis behind the camper I know on one of the switchbacks we saw the jet skis to the side of us lol drove the sport bikers nuts lol

Posted prohibiting trailers over 30 feet. Saw a semi-trailer get pulled over last week. According to locals it's a $3,500 ticket for a variety of offenses, helping to balance Tennessee's budget by lightening wallets of the bewildered.

Agreed, doesn’t mean I won’t occasionally. Thank you for the feedback. Stay safe.

Thank you for the comment. Bike is stock with the exception of the suspension upgrades.

Used a GoPro with a suction Cup Mount attached in the center of the fairing. The camera level was just a bit higher than the bottom of the windshield. It can be seen in the cover photo on the opening scene of the video.

It is mounted on the front cowl under the windshield. You can see it in the opening image.

What tires do you prefer? I'm due for a set on my 2013 F6B

Never had the chance to ride a supermoto out there. It would be fun. No comparison in speed though. You have a 250 pound supermoto riding against a 850 pound lead sled. you have to be smooth to make any time and stay out of trouble. Those guys rip around those corners like they are on rails.

Was a Sunday morning about 8 am. I haven't shared this in the comments before now, but I was on my way back to the scene of a fatality accident. Was not riding as fast as I could, was just enjoying the bike and the road. It was unknown to me that the rider had passed until I arrived at the accident site. I had left a friend who's a doctor to do what he could. The rider had succumbed to his injuries and passed before I returned. His group passed me setting up my GoPro on the north end of the Dragon preparing to ride south. I rolled off about a minute and one half after they had passed, and caught them right before he crashed. The guy was riding erratic, and I saw him ride off the side of the mountain. It was a helpless feeling. I tell you all of this to simply say. Be careful. It is a beautiful place to ride a motorcycle. If you ride quickly you have to be especially careful of other bikes and cars crossing the centerline. You always have to be careful of that, but speed only increases the risk. There are also decreasing radius turns to contend with. You can deal with all these things safely as long as you are aware. Go enjoy the road. 318 turns in 11 miles with no side roads or drives is a rider's dream. Just be aware and be safe. Keeping the rubber side down and the shiny side up. Blessings!

@@Stinger-ng5mr Many 😊 thanks.

thebigeskimo99712 I am glad to know it helped. I love my wing and sure enjoyed riding The Dragon. Very versatile bike. Smooth and graceful.

You got the perfect bike. Ride the hell out of it big Eskimo

First I would say your right an all counts. Police, traffic, using the road as a race course; on the Dragon there is always something to be aware of that poor timing and running out of skill cannot overcome. There is an unfortunate story behind the video that I will not share in this format. Lets sum things up by saying that motorcycling is always a balance between risk and reward. Any time you ride this section of road you need to be extremely cautious. I happened to be there early this day and there was light traffic at the time. This condition is seldom ever the case. Thank you for your comment and be safe out there.

way cool, but dangerous. Rode the beast many times. Had friends try to keep up and toss the bike, minor injuries. At this point in my life, I look back on those days and wonder how I survived. There is a time and place for that kind of riding. Its called track days. Hence the reason for the story you don't want to divulge. Truth is anyone can swing a leg over a bike. Many can ride. Few can ride well. Even fewer are good enough to go fast and not be injured.

Gilles Chartier Gilles, thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about fixing that and a couple of other small things that need attention and have just not made the time to go in and do it. It's due a refresh. Thanks again for the comment. You always wonder what someone else is seeing and thinking when the watch a post. Have a great day.

You are welcome Look floword to see your new version ... have fun and safe ride

Ridden both. Prefer the wing. The F6B is a little wide in the saddle and the the windscreen offers little protection for my taste. Basically the same bike. You can do the same things on both from a performance perspective. The F6B's greatest advantage is less unsprung weight, and a lower center of gravity.

Cbr Commuter Nope, not hood ornament. Camera mounted on bike so all you see is where it’s pointed. My field of vision is not what you can see in the video. Thank you for the comment and ride safe.

By the way, you dance with the dragon and your wing sings, isn't life so great !!!

David, thank you for the reply. There is a lot going on that this video does not tell. The clip started at the store where I have called emergency services and I was on my way back to what turned out to be a fatality accident. The hard “make time trip” was going to the store. I was just settling in to a nice brisk pace on my way back. As it turns out Deals Gap claimed another inexperienced rider riding over their head. Was a sad day on many levels. When I looked at the video I had I decided to post this one. I had told friends I would do that before I left for Tennessee. Be safe.

You just need to take charge!

The mute button works really well. Who knows, if you asked nicely I might have sent you a clean video. Unfortunately that ship sailed. Best of luck.

@@Stinger-ng5mrNext time you will not make that mistake. sailed ship

Not really impressed with what part? Having been there a couple times on bikes, I can tell you he was really moving thru those curves. It is hard to gain a perspective from a video, but I've also video taped myself on the Dragon and it looks slow. It is a much different perspective from behind the handle bars.
