DG5: Tuesday - Group Ride North on Tail of The Dragon

Our group started the day with a casual cruise North on SR-129 (Tail of The Dragon) into the park. Ike was not with us that day because he was getting the fork seals on his Triumph repaired. He also had the brake pads replaced because they had fork oil on them.

For a rough idea of the pace, from the very beginning of the video, the look out point is passed at 20:00.

What mount for the camera? Still had some bounce.Seemed like you had traffic slowdowns.

@invisiblemon Shorter arm on the Ram Mount. Some of the blur was from the auto focus wandering. This camera does not have manual focus.

Spectacular views bro, love the pace. :-).

@0CRAL The slow pace did help with vibration a bit.

Whose beautiful bike was that in front of you?

[Fudmottin]

@ToastToGo Joe Whipple, IIRC. It's a Triumph of sorts. He built it out of several Triumphs. He actually rebuilt the entire engine before the trip! That thing has serious torque.
