Harley-tail of dragon

[vroom]

Ran across this gem while looking up funny first time motorcycle riders. Hope I did the youtube thing right. First time trying.

Apparently not. Here's the link.

Epic fail

 

[mikellyjo]

Oh Man...Epic fail times two. The tool right behind the first guy was about to follow him off the road. How's that for target affix-iation?

 

[brightbuell]

Those bikes are not made for leaning into turns.

 

[Xb12sLt]

OMG!!!!why would he do that....why would he do that. I think if the people in the van stuck around they could of asked him. I was following my dad one day on my xb12s and he tried to hit a corner on his heritage softail...sparks started to fly and he almost chucked it! He pulled out of it fine (lucky). Those bike are great for a comfy ride but not so great on the flickability.

watching the other videos linked off that one... the dragon doesn't look worth the time.

hundreds of d-bags thinking they are racers out on a track that go faster then their ability, cagers crossing over the yellow line all the time, semis coming at you around blind corners...

and cops everywhere anyways.

No thanks.

 

[theoctopus]

No thanks.

Yep.

 

[auslad]

Thats why we ride decent running gear what handles..

 

[Alfatango1]

Crappy skills not the bike. You've seen the guy on the Goldwing on the Dragons tail right?

this one?

Been through the dragon many times on my Fatboy. I can maintain a pretty good speed, but obviously not as fast as if I took my Buell. Looks like that guy just froze up.

As far as being a good road to ride there are many negatives. Speed limit is something like 30, tons of blind corners, lane crosser, semis, and sport bikes going way too fast considering other traffic. I had a guy approach from the back so fast, I never saw him until he went into the other lane in a very sharp 180 degree corner to pass me. Just too dangerous in my opinion.

 

[WALLSXB]

In response to Panillers comment , it's called sharing the road and they were obviously going down hill . They appear to be driving a sprinter van and those are fairly heavy vehicles and probably don't want the brakes to get to hot and fade away. That mentality gives bikers the bad rep we have with the public.

 

[GRADER]

That Goldwing in the back should be faster by the end of the road,Sounded like he scraped off about 10LBS in the corners

 

[xbMarksx]

He slayed.


I hope he is ok and also got his dragon slayer sticker on the way out.

 

[Alfatango1]

Looking at it again I wonder if the guy just ran up on the van/rv too fast and tried to not ram him by going to the left, thus ending up in the ditch.

 

[jeff m]

No two ways about it. He choked. Even if he'd have low sided it, he'd probably have come out ahead. Roads like that are why I had to start doing track days. I get it out of my system, so I'm not as likely to die on a mountain curve, keeps my ticket numbers down, and makes me a better rider. I've gone down twice on the track this season and walked away without a scratch, wrecked only a couple hundred worth of parts on my very ugly R6 track bike and learned something each time--not the least of which is that I definitely don't want to do that into a truck or a tree.

 

[Dave A]

I ride out to the country to get away traffic, this is way to busy for me.

 

[Loki]

Wow to both videos.

I laugh every time i hear. "dude their going to beat our *****" Lmao classic!
