Not Buells, but a whole lot of scraping going on

Those things are HUGE. That's why there's so much scraping.

That wasn't a Buell they passed in the second one, was it? Sorta looked like an Lightning. I think those two know that road pretty well.

Where is the "Dragon" located? The turns in the second video are even sharper than the in the first.

That's just plain insane. I hope they got the optional gyro-stabilized heated cupholders on those things, or they're going to be wearing their coffee.

For god's sake, they guy in the front is actually extending a knee in the turns. On a friggin' GOLD WING!!!! That's just wrong.

Buellshyter - Cameras and videos never due justice to exactly how tight those 300+ turns in just 11 miles really are... nor do they due justice to the camber

There is a web site "www.tailofthedragon.com" for info. Please note the number of fatalities this year alone. If you go and you are not used to moutain road riding take you time...Be safe and have fun

Yummy road! Wish it were a bit closer though. We do have some great roads here in California though....

Reminds me of the old adage, it is 99% rider, 1% bike....damn, I still have motion sickness from the video, glad I did not have that problem riding the Dragon.....

You have gotta be kidding me. Those are Goldwings. Anybody who says Goldwings are big, clunky monsters really needs to see this video. That's awesome.
