They should be out there everyday, that aint' no race track. Punk ass'es don't know when they're violating the rights to safety of everyone. peace out.
Nice video, I want to come down and ride the dragon and I was looking at cherohala and blue ridge aswell. But after seeing all these cops i dont know if its worth the hassle of stopping all the time or having to watch my back for squids and LEOs.
After you passed the second LEO checkpoint and they waved you on...... I loved the sound I heard of you knocking on your helmet to warn the other oncomming motorcyclist of the police prescense!!!!!!!! KewL vid I am planning on doing the dragons tail in a few weeks mainly to see the changing of the seasons...... I been in Florida about 14 years now and miss the changing of the leaves im stoked cant wait........... Locals beware another squid on the way lmfao!!!!
So what happened to courtesy? When you see someone coming up behind you, as did this guy. Move over and signal them past you. I do it all the time. The guys on wings had plenty of space and time, I doubt that the video gives a good representation of the actual situation. As for the guy that posted this, shame on you, get the hell out of the way. You want to play film director, get your slow ass off the road. I bet he was talking on his cell phone too.
Do the math. If their closing speed each direction where as high as 50 miles per hour (and I doubt it is) and you take the time for the oncoming traffic to pass the sport bike that was passed by the wings, the elapsed time is 4 seconds. That means that the wings missed the oncoming traffic by 586 feet. Nearly 2 football fields. Not even close.
I love this video. It shows that if you aren't doing anything wrong the cops leave you alone. The whole reason for their strong (some might say annoying) presense is because there are soooo many idiots. Just doing their job and very professional to boot.
Thank you, Paul. I'm studying law enforcement and the biggest gripe I get from friends and family is why is this law the way it is IE: speed limits why are they so low? I enforce the laws, not make them. I'm glad someone around here appreciate the hard work the Law Enforcement Officials do on a daily basis.
I just went three days ago, enjoyed it. Getting into the curves is fun, but not too dang smart on a public road. Truth is, the ride is beautiful, so go for the scenery. If you want to dig grooves in your lane, go to a track. Of course, I work in a hospital where they bring brave (or stupid) people who go too fast. Unfortunately, they bring in the people who are in the other lane also.
This video just goes to show that you can't stereotype anybody. Here we have a guy on a crotch rocket riding like he knows what he is doing and another (idiot) person squidding along endangering himself and others around him (the hotel rider, if you didn't already figure that one out). As for the hotel comment about riding 450,000 miles accident free, he can tell us any mileage he wishes, only he knows the truth. His riding speaks louder: 450K accident free?, possibly yes, probably not.
Was this filmed during the week or weekend? I road up there in '05 during the week and it was like the road was all mine. I'm planning to go back in the next month or two. Thanks for sharing.
Hey man I am one of the guys that passed you in this video(Grey Goldwing) Like somebody else said some of us know how to ride and some don't. I don't go up there to go 40 mph behind a crotch rocket. Got 450,000 accident free miles behinds me. If your gonna ride a crotch rocket you should at least be able to out run a couple of 50 year olds on Goldwings LOL!
Oh, you mean the idiot that almost hit the other biker coming head on as you lawlessly run from the cops? WHo the fvck you think you are, James Dean and A Rebel without a Cause? 450K? My son, you need to get some more miles in.

if u dumbass rice rocket squids kept from riding like the street is the track, u wouldnt have all this heat from the fuzz. maybe the thp is tired of pullin yer squiddly ass out of the guard rails all the time, and that's why yer seein wall to wall fuzz.
Sure, squids sometimes go too fast and get hurt. And some cruiser riders don't know how to properly turn a motorcycle, nor how to use both brakes effectively. Both are a danger to themselves and others. If you're going to stereotype, please do so equally.
please do yourself a favor and down another glass off dumbshit. there's just as many harley get offs as "sport bikes". You all get on the gap and do 10mph is bull! Oh and great choice of video to blast sport bikes when it shows two idiots on crusers fly by a sportbike on a double yellow going into a turn. The whole road is double yellow and passing does take place but not in a curve moron
Well there is a turn to the left close to where ya are so that's their only option to get away, otherwise they probably got busted on the way to tellico.

Admittedly, 6 minutes isn't much out of my life, but WTF?!!? Next time, post something interesting, like maybe walking your dog or watching paint dry...
Not welcome, go elsewhere ??? i don't go to to national parks to watch state troopers, but to see the scenery. Why bother to go?
