Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap

636 curves and up to 36 cops per 22 mile lap on the Dragon US129 at Deals Gap Tennessee. Note proper use to eyeballs to look through curve to check for traffic. This is not a blind curve at Killboy hairpin. If you don't know your bike's max lean angle and max turn rate in a parking lot, you're not ready for Deals Gap. Staying in your lane requires more lean angle and more draggin.

Only squids would ride on the wrong side of the dragon! You ruin it for everyone else.

[jaygdav]

You got to be kidding me!! Stay on your side of the road before you kill someone! Passing on a blind corner? What a bunch of squids.

@tl1000rlt maybe there from the UK and a little confused?

[soulsedg3]

i am not condoning riding on the other side of the road at all. But unless you've ridden the dragon personally, put your foot in your mouth. some of these corners you can see thru...you can see if traffic is coming, if it's not you can push the corner a little faster, some go a little wider, because they can see thru the corner. (i never did, as i'm not that experienced), but the faster guys can do it, and do it safely, you can see thru some corners, and up to the next corner

This is the perfect video to show to people before they ride the tail of the dragon, as an example of what not to do!

just think of it like this!? 2 squids come at each other on opposite sides of road.. if theyre truly squids, they wont hit each other because they will both be on each other's side of the road.. right??

[KaganEatsPussy]

what's this 636 curves and up to 36 cops per 22 mile lap? Are you talking up and back? And from my experience the pigs usually sit at the top where you come out by the lake.

3:05 .. perfect example of why u dont ride over the line or out side of your limits.. its there for a reason..use ur brains to think .. not to splatter them on the road or even another rider..

[blazecc]

@oneluv526 Yeah, I was there with a friend a couple days ago and we were all alone. Despite that the 2 times each we crossed the center line were errors, not intentional like these guys obviously are. If you choose to cross the line on that road, you deserve whatever happens to you.

[nowotarzan]

on word to describe it all IDIOTS

[Actionshots4u]

Having skills is useless if you cant stay in your lane..sad, really sad.

People get mad when jackasses run them off the road by being in their lane then they hate every sportbike they see making it hard for responsible riders that actually ride within their limits..

Ive rode the Dragon many times and you dont have to speed to get a knee down and you sure dont have to cross lanes to have a spirited ride...
