@rivieraman71 So, the trucker was making a delivery to The Gap Store? There is nothing else on that road but the Gap Store and it can be accessed from the Robinsville side of the gap with out having to get on the dragon. No, this trucker was just using this route as a short cut, nothing else!

@hammerhead300 I don't know if 18756745 has ever been to the gap! There are turns tighter than the one in this video where the cab of the truck would have to be OFF the OTHER side of the road just to keep the trailer from smashing the guard rail on it's side of the road. If that were the case in this video the biker would have wound up under the trailer tires.

@truckingirl379 I've read that there is legislation being discussed to allow trucks of 95,000 pounds instead of the maximum 80,000... trucks would have an extra axel (six vs four). I imagine this will mean even wider turns.

Ive never understood why stupid ass 18whlr drivers will take there big rode clogging hunk of shit trucks on the tightest curviest roads they can, big rigs are fucking dangerous on straight a ways let alone a super tight and twisty roads where they are constantly crossing the center line. fuck semi's!!!!!! things can be hauled by railways and disbursed using box trucks more appropriate for road use.

Im no ones parent, but for all the fellow riders who havnt been to the track, just go one time and give it a shot. It will more than likely give you a diffrent perspective of riding and lessen your desire to street ride. Watching these videos is enough of a warning. And think about all the times these moments dont happen on camera...

I am a truck driver and a bike rider and have been to the gap a few times, there is no way I would try that in a truck and I grew up driving on the roads around the gap and western north carolina. Most of the trucks that do this are new drivers that follow there GPS where ever it takes them instead of looking at a map or reading signs

@mustang04ism If you had a CDL license. Which the sounds of it you doint, you would know that it's a tractor-trailer. Thats all.

@salsadude22 i guess they can't see all the signs warning of sharp curves and telling semi's to turn around.

Anytime we locals see a trucker we flag it down and escort it through. They realllly dont need to be there but sometimes the end up there via gps or map, and they just dont know what they are geting into. thank god you guys made it through. be safe

@GUNBUNNY2BG4U There are no low clearances to make it valid.
