Chaos and Crash at the Dragon

I like that you put emphasis on making sure that the guy was okay after the crash even though he was up and walking.

[@norrishude6177]

"he was up and walking". Sure, but he had extensive head injuries though, just look at him, head swollen to the size of a basketball and bright yellow to boot.

When I was young, we would race from the lake side of the Dragon to the old motel at the other end. There was rarely any traffic on the road back then, so it was like having a personal racing course most of the time. However, times have changed, and the area is too commercialized and too heavily trafficked. There are many better rides which are far more enjoyable, such as the Cherohala Skyway and then on to Cherokee, NC or taking Hwy 68 South from Madisonville, TN to McCaysville, GA.

[@jamesfoster3862]

Exactly, you can’t even have a peaceful ride or drive without some asshat thinking it’s a race course.

[@rw2629]

When I lived in that area for almost 30 years, I never knew the road was referred to by some as the Tail of the Dragon. All the locals just called it Deals Gap Road. It's a pretty good ride, but can get monotonous. There's a lot of roads up in the mountains that are much more fun.

[@Floatsorrolls1]

Much respect for you stopping and knowing the rider might not realizing he's injured (yet). I never have understood the desire to travel to a twisty, over crowded therefore dangerous public road to try and prove that you are not Valentino Rossi. Two words of advice "Track Day".

[@GaryL3803]

Correct! I have driven my car on the Dragon 5-6 days, usually 6-8 back-and-forth runs each day. This is a place to enjoy a nice quick drive at 80-90% of your ability. Save that other 10-20% for the track where the injury potential, to you and your vehicle, is much, much less. I drive my home track, theFIRM, many times annually and end up off of the pavement every 2-3 times somewhere. I have never bent anything on the track. You are guaranteed to bend some if you go off the pavement on the Dragon. The Dragon is quite unforgiving, oncoming traffic (occasionally over the yellow), rocky ditch on one side and trees on the other. Great place to have fun, so share the fun by being safe, courteous and use the pull-overs. May I suggest that when you approach a slower vehicle stay to the right if you are going to follow or on the left to request a pull-over. That red Corvette should have pulled over much sooner.

Once you've reached the center line on the apex of a curve, you have already lost control. The "slipperiness" of the stripe, when already entering the oncoming lane is the problem!?

I've been riding Deal's Gap for over 20 years. What the guy did was "cross the paint", or expect grip from a painted line on the asphalt. Those lines are as slick as ice in any weather. In the years right after the turn of the millennium every time I rode there was a rider down or a fatality. I mainly rode on the weekends. Crashes are so commonplace that I'm quite amazed that they haven't simply closed 129 down...it's a dangerous road. Fun...but dangerous. It really puts a strain on the local first responders.

I’m glad that the rider is okay and that the other rider checked on him. His protective leathers kept him from getting some serious road rash. Also, he is very lucky that he didn’t hit the road sign while landing in some soft soil. All it takes is a few gravels on the roadway, or for the rear tire, and suspension to get loose. The rider didn’t have a good approach into that particular curve either. I’ve had too many friends get hurt or killed on motorcycles. That’s probably one reason why I don’t ride anymore. Also, motorists are a lot more careless now-a-days which puts all motorcycle riders in jeopardy. I really do miss riding though.

I don’t know why people who spent good money on motorcycles want to go fast on this curvy road. Don’t they know it has lots of turns? In both directions! They must have read, or at least heard that this road may be challenging to novice and expert riders alike. Off camber, decreasing radiuses, frost heaves, no shoulders, much of it canopied, varying speeds by other motorcycles and cars, professional photographers stationed along the route, weather conditions in a constant state of flux, locals vs tourists, parade pirates going slow, crotch rockets going fast, varying degree of police presence, souvenir shops at the start, photo op places at the start., over 300 turns to try and memorize. Can’t we all agree to keep it in first gear and just go the speed limit? I’m finding it really hard to convince fast riders to go slow. Actually, I guess it would be like trying to get slow riders to go fast. Yeah. Oh well.

Everyone in the comment section on videos like this are certified professional racing instructors who have never dropped a bike or made a single mistake in their 100 year careers. And then they blame everyone else for why they dont do something anymore. Sure..he is lucky with the outcome. take the critizism down several notches ppl.

🤔…Sooo…I reckon that’s why there’s all those signs saying, “High Motorcycle Crash Area”!

[@bobalmighty2925]

"Very skilled" riders don't crash. Been riding daily for 50 years. Never went down.

[@Floatsorrolls1]

Anyone can crash. Motogp riders are skilled far more than you, me and mr.🫤and they crash. Doesnt mean they dont bite off more than they can chew lol. Keeping a balance of fun and control is what makes a good rider. I hope to keep rubber side down for as long as you have. Only got about 8years of riding so far under my belt. Definitely a non forgiving hobby and he got lucky he didnt have to pay worse for his mistake.

What a foolish thing to say!!! Omg big iam...

[@bobalmighty2925]

@@sicocker7372 Foolish? I've seen riders airlifted by helicopter half a dozen times. I've seen a rider have his leathers (zebra-striped no less) cut off of him by paramedics. Been by many roadside memorials of HOT SHOTS like the guy in this video... who think they can ride, but end up in the hospital. The rider in this video is lucky. But with an attitude that "everyone crashes" ....you'll be in the ER or morgue in no time.

Hello! Would it be ok if I feature this video for an edit that I'm working on? I'll credit you with watermark as usual. Thanks!

[@Floatsorrolls1]

Yes 👍🏼

[@gregsoto4777]

He rode above his ability. You could see it thru most of those curves. I know I have rode the dragon. It will bite you in a split second. Glad he’s alright and went off to the upper side the low side could have been tragic.

[@noellong1986]

Awesome way to help another rider in need.

[@wellshutchins6885]

Sorry, no sympathy for the guy, riding like that on a public road... it's just a matter of time no matter how good you are - or think you are. He could have killed someone coming the other way. Glad he's OK, hoped he learned a lesson.

[@Just_a_beaver]

It's a shame people can't just go enjoy the ride without having to worry about these clowns out there driving / riding like there's something to prove.

[@jackpresscot7043]

Looks like an awesome ride. Oncoming vehicles on a 2 lane road with a mountainside drop to your right and twisties from Hell! FTS

Definitely!👍🏼

You’re a good soul. We need more Good Samaritans like you. I rode the dragon on my 2013 FJR1300A. That rode requires caution I rode down from South west PA

[@patbateman6729]

How funny, I always keep driving, witnessed 6 of these and never stop.

[@user-py6tl9fe6j]

Those marbles on the corners will get you every time.

[@randallreid424]

I rode the dragon quite a few years ago on my 77 Suzuki GS550 and had a blast. I rode my ride at my abilities as well as the bikes didn’t push beyond my limits and didn’t let anyone push me and it took me a few runs to even feel good about the pace I had set for myself and in the end it was a fantastic day and good fun and met some pretty cool riders

[@Floatsorrolls1]

Thats exactly wht the tail is all about! Couldn’t have said it better.

Man that could of been much worse!! Im glad he was okay and his bike dident make the tree of shame like so many others. My wife and i did the dragon years ago fairly slow and easy on my RoadKing. She wouldent let me go fast!😊

[@larrysacks8927]

I don’t live too far from the dragon and have ridden it at least 30 times When I started watching this video, I could immediately tell that whoever was in that lead bike was going to run into some serious issues at some point in time. I just wasn’t sure what it was going to be whether it was gonna be an oncoming car or running out of lane…While trying to hug that line remember when you’re running the dragon it’s not a closed track. Give yourself some safety margins and you can run fast but have really good lines if you do.
