Unfortunate the biker hit the skids but every biker knows to assume everyone else on the roads are idiots. Not just to say it but be prepared for it. I have never been on this road but I would be riding over towards the shoulder to see what was coming on a left angle curve than near the middle of the road. At least that will give some hope to get out of the way at the last second if someone crosses the line
after a “little contact” with a truck while you’re on the bike it is more likely that you’ll be a dead man than a rich man
ok, this comes from a truck driver who has the knowledge most people don’t. US129, “the tail of the dragon”, is not to be used by commercial vehicles from Chilhowee, TN to Topton, NC. If you don’t believe me, you can go to any truck stop, look in the front of a truckers atlas and find the restricted routes listed. Any driver using the dragon as a through road is a moron and gives the rest of us drivers a bad name.
You should look up a video on this site and you will eat those words. There is a guy that rides a goldwing on the dragon and I’ll bet money you would not be able to keep up with him. Look up yellow wolf or goldwing on the dragon. Enjoy
The truck driver was the clown in this case. He was on the wrong side of the road, you moron.
Semi should be banned from that road, period. They are a threat to everybody there.And before arguing on how the motorcyclists are often the real threat, you should know that this road has so many twisties that we are really not riding that fast. Of course if you don’t know anything about bikes it is impressive to see a knee down. I can tell you guys, I can put my knee down at 30mph so it doesn’t mean shit about how fast were going !
Do you really want the government to step in and legislate who can use it? Because if they can’t use it for interstate commerce you might just find it shut down for good. The guy in the video makes a good point that a flag car in front would save a lot of trouble.
michaelcarter83 – do you ride a CBR ? cause you seem like a faggot
the us has more land mass than your tiny island so laws are different
obsess much?
