  • shit happens, even when you sit in your car beside the road and are thinking: "What if I had an GL1800 and ..."

  • ..what cha gonna do when ya bust ass around that blind corner and somebody is in your lane?

  • That's some good ass riding! Damn!

  • That's what's up.

  • Pour faire cela ....... il vaut mieux connaitre la route avant !!!!!

  • Really proves that it's the rider not the bike!!!

  • That mans fucking tear shit up! mad respect! Just fuckin killin it on a GOLDWING!

  • @Rookzx14 That is me following YellowWolf and I was on a 05' GL1800, yellow just like his. His was an 02' or 03' if I remember correctly. All of the audio is from my bike, he really doesn't scrape at all. He knows the road very well and leans off to give him a bit more clearance in his vid. I was scraping mostly the pegs, once in a while you can hear the exhaust covers scrape.

  • Wonderful......I suppose. Now can he turn that talent into "cash"?

    Not sure this type or riding should be being "demonstrated" on a public highway. i.e. If he wanted to be a road racer......he should have gotten a REALLY fast bike and headed for the Isle of Man! Too much testosterone.....not enough ambition, I guess.

  • I followed two guys on Wings in the Isle Of Man years ago, it's not the bike that slow's you down, it's all about skill! nice riding, pleasure to watch, I ride a ZX14 this style, what a blast!

  • Yellow wolf! Ayyy i was on the IBA site earlier and averaged out his ride. Makes sense that they wouldn't certify it for a ss1K but dang that must have been one tiring ride.

  • awesome .... wanna see this on a 1500 ??? Watch my Goldwingvideos from Sardinia !!!!

  • Knowing that yellow is indeed the fastest GL1800 color, it was a trivial matter on what color goldwing to film this fast run on the dragon.

  • Do u ever go straight? Lol!

  • Awesome road !

  • Road this road on my bow, but nothing like this, absolutely incredible.

  • damn it, thats one crazy rider :P

  • 318 Turns in 11 Miles

  • That guy is really great! Imagine what he could do if he were riding a motorcycle!

  • The scraping you hear is NOT the muffler. Goldwings have a bar that runs under the side saddles. The scraping the called a "scrape peg" on the bottom of the footpeg. My dad has a goldwing. His "scrape pegs" are gone and bars under side saddles are scraped up from riding the gap. Awesome vid. Never seen a goldwing do that

  • told ya size doesn't matter! ha sorry had to say it ;)

  • Still my all-time favourite youtube vid!

  • Still my all-time favourite youtube vid!

  • watch?v=Yka79xtp6ag

  • Nice run

  • Love this video, and no shitty music as bonus!!!

  • Will the gl1800 real corner this well?

  • AWSOME SH*T MAN!!!! I've never seen some sick, crazy, ill, freaky, amazing, guy burning his goldwing like THAT! Absolutly phenominal!! Give him your full respect!

  • the scraping sound you hear is the scraping of the muffler as he leans the bike going around corners.

  • This is psychotic and awesome!! Amazing driver.

  • I just love the handling capabilities of a Goldwing. Thank you for this.

  • Being able to only give a +1 for this vid just isn't right.

  • Awesome......already a "classic y/t video"- belongs into the hall of fame.

    I love the cornering speed and the torque out of any bends you guys rock....deepest respect, dudes! Cheers from europe ;o)

    (check out even my channel, if ya like)

  • Yellowwolf do you still make runs down the dragon anymore? I've always wanted to see you do this when I go. Your awesome, no way I could come close.

  • thats sweet

  • not sped up whatso ever

    

  • This looks sped up

  • Kinda cool

  • If the camera bike is scraping when only holding the cornering pace of a GL1800 then its likely the camera bike is also a GL1800. Footpegs touch first on a GL1800 but its easy to add highway pegs which scrape even sooner.

    As for "stupid song", I agree. Much better with natural well-muffled engine music!

  • This is absolute stupidity on public roads

  • @1955HS And you are absolute stupidity on the Internet.

  • Metric Rules.... DragonSlayer ...Kawasaki Vulcan 2000cc Ltd... Love the GWing run.. tvabiker

  • Where is the scraping sound coming from?

  • @jezuz12345 steps

  • @yabbanoname I don't know what kind of bike is filming but the engine noise is that bike. The scraping noise is also that bike. Prolly exhaust or maybe even foot pegs touching. YIKE!

  • @jezuz12345

    Dragging his boards

  • That's his (their) pegs scraping, gotta love it :-)

  • @jezuz12345 most likely footpegs

  • The scraping sound is probably the center stand. If I have my suspension air set at low setting, my center stand usually drags a bit before the foot pegs do. It may be counterintuitive, but the higher ground clearance of a wing allows it to corner better than most sport bikes. Forget about other touring bikes like an Ultra Classic being able to do this, they'd be digging trenches with their pegs trying to corner like this. And yes, I have ridden the Ultra Classic.

  • That is the last thing I would be taking fast around a corner

  • @whosaidpwnage why?looks like somebody has the skills and the balls to match to flat out haul ass on a wing on the dragon!!!!! thats one bad ass rider!!!!

  • I'm pretty sure the scraping sound is the knee pucks on his leathers, or the toe sliders on his boots.

  • wouw, that guy on the goldwing hits in like every corner the ground with his food pedal ^^ luckely enough there wasnt any sand 0_o

  • yes, someone who can handle a goldwing full-on proper. i'm thoroughly impressed.

  • wreckless, but really amazing control of a bike that big, I'm impressed (not that it matters).

  • OMG why can were you not there when i was i was always getting stuck behind fat HD riders! they go so slow!!!!

  • WTF? This guy is sick really on a Goldwing damm wish I could do that half as fast on my Wide Glide.

  • holy shit!

  • um, isn't that sound the bike scraping along the ground in the turns? In which case, he's damaging the bike is he not?

  • @danalia It's probably just his foot peg.

  • Excellent rider and video

  • Awsome video I can't wait to get my chance at that

  • @hugot12 Don't be hatin' because he's a better rider than you squid....... lol

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @hugot12 Oh yes, I'm sure you have raced since you were 13... which really implies that you are the typical hardly ableson poser who has loud pipes to compensate for something. lol

  • Comment removed

  • @hugot12 LOL what a fucking faggot poser...... I bet you own 5 bugatti's as well. Yet another typical internet toughguy pussy poser. 

  • @Oso1G yeah we do have load pipes to copensate for something ..dickheads in cars

  • @TheMetal750 The "loud pipes save lives" concept is a total myth. If someone in a car doesn't see you, it's highly unlikely that they'll hear you, and even if they do, they still have to figure out where the sound is coming from, what the sound is, and what they should do about it. By the time the car driver could hear the bike enough to actually notice it, the biker would be in front of the car.

  • @hammerhead300 BS I have gotten many drivers attention as they decide to change lanes on top of me a quick rev opens thier eyes more than a horn. But we all have our opinions. And no I am not running open pipes but I do prefer a rumble to a purr

  • @jcmadskills "If loud pipes save lives, then imagine what learning to ride that thing could do."

    YW post the proof!

  • @jksduke Loud pipes is noise, LOUD IS NOT FAST, loud pipes don't save lives, skillful driving does, loud pipes piss off the general public, skillful riding will save you life.

  • @hugot12 Thanks for the advice, but this guy is old enough to make his own choice, and fully skilled. I think you should spend your rant energy to weekend warriors, car drivers, and "semi-truck" drivers at Deal's Gap.

  • Comment removed

  • @scottricerules No shit.

  • Holy Shit!! That was truely amazing!

  • Good thing he had the fastest colored wing, you guys would still be filming this had it been one of the far slower colors.....

  • Off to do the gap, on a 1800 wing next month..... not so fast though !!!! follow me on @Road2Manchester (twitter)  Facebook/roadtomanchester or blog Unitedstatesofamanchester.blog­spot 9600 miles, 33 Manchesters in USA from Manc' UK.

  • Looks like he was having trouble keeping up with the gold wing, you guys have alot of balls..

  • Where is this at? Looks like hella FUN

  • @poolplayers21 US 129 / Deals gap...... aka  the tail of the dragon. 318 curves in 11 miles. Oh my!

  • @poolplayers21 See title... "Deals Gap" in North Carolina

  • This guy is an outrageously good rider and the GL 1800 is a spectacular machine, but 106 runs in 24 hrs?? not sure about that. if he rode the full 24 hrs he'd have to average 48.58 mph over the 1166 miles he would cover. possible? yes. likely? no

  • @cefox1232

    it was done in late 06,runs were from the store to the overlook,106 one way runs,23 hrs and 52 min

  • @cefox1232 Yes I believe what he did could be done in that time, he didn't do the entire 11 miles of the gap, he only went from the store to the overlook which is 9 miles. 106 one way runs or 53 laps would be 954 miles @ avg of 39.75 mph. In my video (Deals Gap on a Goldwing, cocpit view) you can see my speedo, I'm not going as fast as YW but you can see I'm probably averaging about 40 mph myself. Mine''s just a 4.5 min clip, It would be a grueling 24 hours but I believe he did it.

  • This is the way my dad rides his goldwing, his pegs are pretty shaved lol.

  • @T0H0E0G0A0M0E Agree but i love my wheelies man!

  • Wouldn't all you Goldwing fans love to watch Big Hoss Chevy powered bike try this????

  • @Mrphatbastard1 Would love to see a Boss Hoss, Harley Ultra , Victory Vision, Kawasaki Voyager , Yamaha Road Liner or any other fully loaded luxury tour motorcycle try this.... the BMW 1600GTL will be/ is the top dog in the performance full tour segment, but it's passenger accommodation is lacking for long range touring imo.

  • Myself and friends are laughing at how fast that goldwing is! Is freddie Spencer driving it? Did you loose the saddle bags or grind them off on the way? Awsome riding we all want Goldwings now! Thanks!

  • daca ar face si la noi drumul de la vidraru ar fi perfect :D

  • dammit boy!!!!!

  • When I first read the video description "don't try to outrun this guy", I thought "pfft...Goldwing?" After watching the video I'm not sure if he's an incredible rider or just crazy...probably both. Great stuff!

  • This should be a Honda commercial.....

  • WT? Is that Matt Mladin??? He is serious on a Goldwing!!!! Two Thumbs Up!!

  • This guys came to the test ride this day borrowing GW from the dealer being usually getting on CBR.

  • This guys fast but at my prime up there I was able to leave him in the dust. I can't imagine how fast he is on a better handling bike though.

  • @jasondd23 Hows that go? the older you get ,the faster you were!

  • @twistyrhodes funny im still just as fast if not a hair faster?

  • @yellowwolf108 Ya know, ya just get better with age!!! How ya doin there YW? Haven't chatted in a while. Hope you are doin well and I hope to ride with ya soon!!!

  • @jasondd23 Another "Back in my day....." story, lol

  • This is why I LOVE THIS SPORT. Every last person who rides a motorcycle is crazy to some degree or another and I LOVE ALL OF YOU FOR IT.

  • @XH1927 Truer words have never been spoken. I live in New England and ride a motorcycle all year long. My friends call me CRAZY. Yeah, crazy about two wheels.

  • Sylwuś- potrenujemy :-)

  • Nice Ride

  • hauling ass on a goldwing is like racing with a motorhome ... for idiots

  • Comment removed

  • Very nice!!!

  • Very impressive, I' like to ride this road one day.

  • That's two damn good riders. I don't know which position is harder on that run, to lead or to follow?

  • Eep. Camera bike keeps scraping hard parts (that or needs to get the balls of feet on the pegs and not arches)! Very nice :)

  • and they say a wing is an old mans bike!

  • im jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RESPECT!!!

  • it's about time there's a video on youtube of somebody actually RIDING deals gap...even if it's on a wing. come on rocket riders...lets see you show up these land yachts! jus throw on a helmet cam, strap on your nuts, pull up your manties, an givver shit! that is all...

  • And stay on your side of the yellow line please.

    I've had far too many donor cycles aimed at me on this road.

  • The sensible ones are at the track, not being idiots on the road trying to set records.@zoombike

  • Comment removed

  • @rustler08 i dont try to set records,i set a goal and go out and do it!!!

  • Holy Crap!! That's all I can say.

  • El tipo le mete bastante bien... M gustaria verlo bajando por el yunque.. Jajaj

  • Freaking awesome!!! I'd hate to see how bad ass that guy would be on a sport bike! I bet the 31 thumbs down are from the Hardley riders that can't figure out how to make their Ultra Custom Limited Soft Classic Heritage Tail turn quicker than a school bus......

  • Ah . . more ravings of those that can't afford to be comfortable on a cross U S A ride.

  • My My . . aren't we clever . . . and maybe just a trifle jealous of those that prefer to be comfortable, while avoiding the Tupperware syndrome.

  • awesome,.. can you do that again,,, with a pillion?

    regards

    AA

  • @abgacid.... Bloody Hell ! I've got an 06 GL 1800, but it will never see action like that, not with this little fat ducky riding it ,anyway. Wow ! man , he was really haulin' arse. sure wish i could ride like that.

    Steiny from downunder

  • Absolutely amazing!  We miss you Yellow.

  • this cat can ride!

  •  looks like a school bus surfing on the dragon. That bike hits a tree, the tree goes down :)

  • Comment removed

  • I drove all the way from Canada to ride the dragon on my 09 250 ninja, what a road, totally worth it, i even ground one of the pegs down i was leaning so far...

  • ну типы, вам не голда - джиксеры нужны

  • Dragon. Best. Road. Period. Everyone leaves something when they get bit by that road, he's left paint and metal flakes, I did as well, but not as much as he - but didn't drive aggressive as he did either.

  • now that is a bad ass dude

  • The most impressive part of all this is, neither of these guys left their lane. THAT, boys and girls is knowing how to ride a bike safely and quickly. I'll bet they impressed more than a few sport riders that day!!!

  • THIS IS FREKEN SICK !!!! MAD RESPECT !!!! 

  • That dude rode the crap out of that pig! Respect- I didnt know an 1800cc tank could handle like that

  • all in all stay out of my way

  • lol thats awesome to see a gold wing hittin it that hard. Im very impressed. I ride a ninja sport-tour and i doubt i could hang with him. sweet!

  • Mad skills

  • Holy Cow! How much did you speed up that clip? If you didn't... you got some major balls. I wouldn't ride Deal's Gap that fast on my Ninja250r, it would scare the crap out of me.

  • thats some serious leaning up there!

  • I love this guy. I have a DVD of him destroying the Gap on his wing. Runs right up on a GSXR and passes him when the GSXR can't shake hime.

  • thats how you do it son....

  • That's some mad skills. Salute!

  • Chapeau le gars. ;)

  • How much of those floorboards left after that run?

  • @PHICEN GL1800's don't have floorboards ....

  • @yabbanoname Oh. I heard a lot of scraping in the video.

  • Yeah.... okay. That's why I run skid plates under my floorboards on my wings.

  • @yabbanoname theres deffintly some for the passenger on an 83 i can tell if that a new one or not.

  • owned...

  • Really???? lots of aftermarket . . . . . .

  • If this guy were driving an R1/R6, ZX6R/10R, Gixxer 600/750/1000, CBR600/1000RR - then he actually would have fun...

  • @MrSteelBear

    not sure i could ever have more fun on an uncomfortable unentertaining bike like those,lol

  • I watch this clip like every day....amazing

  • LOL...Draggin them Markland Floorboards....Impressive riding, handling.

    But, mostly the quietness...ONLY a Wing.

  • the guy has skills to ride a bike of the size an weight like that

  • went on the dragon last saturday...first time...was so awesome!

  • Why is everyone talking about the guy on the yellow goldwing? I'm more suprised at the camera guy keeping up with him.

  • @PsychoSpiral Cause that yellow fat thing is called gold wing...

  • @PsychoSpiral Cause the "Camera Guy" IS ALSO on a WING.

  • @PsychoSpiral the guy following is on a wing as well

  • @PsychoSpiral I think the camera ship was also a Goldwing. Very impressive.

  • @PsychoSpiral Presumably he'd be on a sportsbike, making it easier to keep this pace. Or else, a dedicated friend and follower who has similar riding history!

  • @cragv no. actually hes riding a Goldwing also....and his name is "fuse"

  • @PsychoSpiral Why? Because 99% of the guys riding Goldwings canNOT do stunts like this, let alone at the speeds shown here. GW-guy is an incredible rider, showcasing that fact on a bike marketed toward those who want a rolling couch.

  • Super mauc ma to :-)

  • The guy on the yellow wing is incredibly smooth for the speed he is riding. Obviously highly skilled. Wonder if he honed those skills on a race track or possibly as a motorcycle officer???

  • @jfx65 i raced off road for 10 yrs,raced a few road races not anything special there,,,im just a wing guy i guess

    not a cop,lol
