A beautiful spring day at the Tail of the Dragon - Deals Gap. Cloudless skies, super green background and a pair of Yamaha Star Warrior ripping it up. Listen to the rumble that could be heard for miles...

@Module79L There are lots of great riding areas around here. The reason that you don't see videos of them is that those of us who ride them don't want to show the idiots where they are.

Rawhide901 is spot on. Your torso remains vertical while the bike leans under you. This style is more comfortable since your head is not close to the ground, but it actually eats up more lean angle than straight-up riding. Your hips are also rotating around the tank, and at times you’re adding lean angle and throttle together. The three of these are common causes of crashes. I was guilty of all. Keith Code’s school fixed me and I haven’t wondered why folks crash since.

When are you gonna post the version without music??? I keep coming back to this post for past 3 or4 yrs contentiously and disappointed by the music everytime.

You're certainly ripping it up guys, your body position is better on right handers than left. On the lefts you're all 'crossed up'. Your ass comes off the seat but your shoulders don't move to the inside line of the bike. Check out Keith Code. Take it easy dude ;)

I know there are many more great places, but especially that year, that spring, the perfect weather, a weekday, little traffic and no smokey bears around. The speed of how we rode the Warriors that day did not fully come out in the video. Just for reference: That Warrior is by no means a sport bike. I also own an R1 and you cannot compare how you ride each bike through a road like the Dragon. That week I used up a brand new set of tires in just 520 miles.
