vw151 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hey all, a buddy and I have been riding since Wednesday. We hit tail of the dragon and many of the surrounding roads. We are now in Charlotte. Just thought I'd share some pics. I'll get some video and better stuff up when I get back. If you guys are in Southeast OH tomorrow I might see you on my way home. moritz and I in foothills parkway. helmet on the skyway. Virginia!?!?Moritz and I at some truck stopsome bikes at the look out part of tail of the dragonSo we were riding along on 129 by the lake. Since we were on the back side of the tail of the dragon we didn't even realize we were on it yet. No less, a tree had fallen due to a firethat started from a bike wreck the day before. We waited 20 minutes for the rangers to clear the tree and were on our way. Deals gap resort and some race bikesthe duc at tail of the dragonduc and aprilia at deals gap resortWhat chicken stripe?

I rode light Thursday but the rest of the time I had my stuff strapped on because we were on the way to somewhere all of the other times. Too bad too cause I got a lot more time in at the deals gap area Friday. The police were not a problem but it was weekday afternoons so I think that helped. What do you strap a bunch of crap too? Pictures?I made a gif or two of the proofs. You can see me getting my swerve on with crap strapped to my bike. I think I'll order a few of these zeephoto and killboy pics. Cool business model.

vw151 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 nice, I think a tail bag may need to be purchased before I do this again. The elaborate system of bungees got old after awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benyen Soljax Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 i love that tailbag. im thinking about buying the saddlebags that mate with it too. the saddles would be too close to your exhaust for comfort though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pics man.I'm 6'3" I can make most sport bikes look pretty small. The bike handled like it was designed with those corners in mind. I felt so at home on those roads that I'm sad to be back home a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
