[@cruisemansgarage]

Great vid. Makes me long for a ride to Deals Gap!

[@MemphisMike901]

you are due!

[@MemphisMike901]

Thank you all for watching and inquiring where I have been. While I have made some trips over the past 3 months at this time, WORK has really been doing a number obnoxiousness me during the 2020 Pandemic with online ordering! I simply have not had the energy to sit down and be creative and work with the videos! Again, thank you for checking up on me!

[@jetdoctn]

While I don't do videoing I'm with ya on the work has been crazy!

[@richthereturnrider6737]

Great video nice riding. The Goldwing look like a sports bike out there. Way to create memories. Ride safe guys

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Beautiful day to ride US129! GW sure is smooth with you on it! I enjoyed your comments! And, virtually no wind noise. Actually, I like the sound of the CB650F! Nice video Mike. Thanks for sharing you weekend father and son ride.

[@MemphisMike901]

We had a blast. That CB DOES sound grear!

[@timstarr5306]

As always great video Memphis Mike. I roade that 2 years ago and loved it

[@roadglide]

100% professional rider! Kids do not try this at home. The man, the myth, the legend is back. Fo sho there was no baloney skins on the back tire. Ride it like you stole it. Thank you for putting in the hours Double M. It’s a team member like you that gets all of our stuff delivered. Welcome back my brother. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.

I chased my son up Appalachian Gap in Vermont one beautiful fall day. He was on an ST1100 and I was on a Yamaha FZ6. It was a Proud Papa moment watching my 19-year old casually and gracefully speeding through corners ... until I couldn't keep up with him. He was kind enough to wait for me at the top. (The same thing happens in the woods on skis, except going downhill.) I'd love to own a Goldwing, but during winter storage in rural Vermont, the little critters love making homes behind all that plastic. I sold the ST for the same reason. And Mud Season lasts too long, so I bought a KLR.

[@kylehessler228]

You’re blessed to be able to ride with your son. As is he for being able to ride with you. Especially in such a beautiful area. Keep it up :)

[@trentroach9192]

Nice to see you do another video. Hope there will be more to come soon.

[@ThanhTran-pv4kl]

That's awesome, Mike! Just got an 08 wing with the same color, metallic gray, looking forward to a ride on the dragon soon

[@painsrides3616]

MM you hustle that Big Wing arounf pretty damn good 😎 Seeing this makes me want to get down there again .... The area has some of the best road riding in the world.

[@MemphisMike901]

I agree...Paradise of Riding!

[@jeffhudspeth6397]

The young man did a great job of slaying the dragon. That may be the heaviest traffic I’ve seen up there, and I have been going 2-4 times a year for 30 years!

[@MemphisMike901]

It was busy for sure!

[@Motoramblings]

I can't believe I haven't brought my Goldwing over there yet!! You guys were killing it. I'm going to get over there asap, don't think I'll be riding it as well as you, but I'm going to have some fun! Great riding with your son, like you said, making memories. Stay well, oh and don't work too hard.....the Christmas rush is coming soon!

[@MemphisMike901]

At any pace you choose to ride is still fun. I hit it hard first 2-3 times. After that, im exhausted and back it down 😂 next vid will be ME tailing HIM...and he ran off and got out of camera range. But i was there to make memories, and that we did! 😊

[@Motoramblings]

@@MemphisMike901 absolutely the best part!!!

Looks like ya'll had a blast Mike! One thing for sure I'd of never been able to keep up.

[@dougindixie3829]

Best Dragon run on a GoldWing I’ve seen since Yellow Wolf! Good job!

[@mikegunsallus7387]

Great video I really like your picture of you and your son a chip off the old block lol that will be great memory for both of you

[@mikec1254]

MM been a while . Nice video. I have been going to the Dragon once a year since 1997 I love that area. this year I did it in June on my FJR and i will be back end of Sept with the Wife on my Road Glide LTD. We will be doing all the good area roads all the way up to Tazewell VA Great Roads with Nice local people

[@shakazulu2815]

MM and son,great video guys! Riding with family is the koolest.

[@MemphisMike901]

man you aint kidding bro. i sooo enjoy this trip even nervously watching my son blister the curves!

[@johnrice8313]

MM, I don't know who the jack wagon is that would give a thumbs down to your vids. They are on point, keep up the good work brother. Your vids are much appreciated. Especially since I live in the flat lands of SW Oklahoma.

[@MemphisMike901]

Pme at times as well!

[@rodneybarcus2233]

I was wondering what happened to mike. You two looked like you were having a blast and your son rides pretty good. You must be proud.

[@MemphisMike901]

Yes sir. Very proud!!! Work has been busy. No energy to create vids these days

[@phillipvazquez284]

Love it love it Mike . I just did it several weeks ago with Chris very nice ride

[@MemphisMike901]

Did y'all SMOKE it like ME? 🤣

[@phillipvazquez284]

I love it but I took my time 1st time doing it. A few guys did

[@MemphisMike901]

I think about 15mins for me on that run

[@jeremyr2517]

Good to see ya back! Ride on and throttle through bro

[@jamesduckworth3736]

Great ride . I have never seen so many cars on the dragon

[@MemphisMike901]

Labor Day Weekend! Bunch of them!

[@Angelo-xj6ye]

Thanks for your video.. we will hit that road by end september 2020 ooooh yeah

Love riding w/my 2 Sons

[@howardgoman5881]

I enjoyed my run on the Tail also! Great ride, lots of fun. Be safe

[@philoslaunchservices8828]

this like our major highway all 1000 miles around the island with a few small stretches for racing 😉

[@MemphisMike901]

Amazing. where would that be?

[@BrokeAssGuido8321]

Was that the Mount on the CB650 I think it is holding the camera?

[@MemphisMike901]

Yes it is!

Thank you sir! 😊

Ride em Cowboy Mike has the Iron Horse under his reign!

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Was in the area but the traffic kept me away.

[@MemphisMike901]

was a bit crowded for sure. we hit most of the runs pretty good tho

[@GBeWinginIt]

That’s some good stuff right there. Maybe the kid will let you swap bikes and you’ll get a run on the CB next time out.

[@MemphisMike901]

I wanted to take his for a run and he would not object. I am a tad uncomfortable still with him on the Wing, especially on these roads!

[@jefftilghman9059]

Do you ride the Dragon on only one gear like your son seemed to do? From a rider yet to ride the TotD? And if so which gear or rpm range. Or what was your average speed? Both of my bikes are 5 speeds.

[@MemphisMike901]

3rd gear is highest I go when i am on Dragon. He opted to stay in the higher RPM range. I say to you..experiment when u get the chance to ride it

[@billstevens1644]

I drove the Dragon in a car AFTER eating two double cheeseburgers and a milk shake with extra fries…..🤢 I spent the entire drive trying not to throw up 🤮 😮

[@MemphisMike901]

😂

[@markmath2883]

I wore the bottoms of the footpegs on my Valkyrie as well as scraped my pipes some. Curious as to how the Wing handles. Does it touch down and/or wallow in the curves? I have an RT, RS and Triumph T100, all of which provide fewer heart stopping moments.

[@MemphisMike901]

I have floorboards so yeah they do scrape...but i can use more counter steering techniques and leaning properly to give myself a little more clearance and keep bike more upright when i want to...but that wears me out after a bit 🤣

[@markmath2883]

MemphisMike Figured! It takes a good rider to hustle a big bike through the twisties. I bought an RT because my wife would dig me in the ribs every time the Valk touched down.

[@jcmusco]

i would love to take my pontiac fiero gt on this road, and then my 800 kaw vulcan. nice drive

[@MemphisMike901]

Always a lot of nice cars ripping thru that road at times. Many car clubs come up for the weekends there

[@JohnMartin-dn9ez]

Nothing beats canyon carving on a wing except the shocked look from youngsters on rockets not being able to keep up. Just make sure you fold up any highway pegs or boards.

[@MemphisMike901]

yep fortunately i swapped to rivco pegs that do not lay as close to ground...now my floorboards get rapoed on these roads with scraping...but i am learning better technique as well to avoid less scraping

[@JohnMartin-dn9ez]

@@MemphisMike901 are those the pegs that fold into covers?

[@MemphisMike901]

John Martin yes

What go pro or camera you useing to film this. Exact model id like to purchase one .

[@MotoMengy]

Man that Wing was really cruising!

[@russellhorn6372]

I think who were dangerously close having your son trail you on tail of the dragon. If I see you at the Wings gettogether next year, I wouldn't mind you kicking your ass at having your son film you.

[@MemphisMike901]

we were plenty apart...i have been closer to other bikes on the Dragon when they are creeping! and even passed them if they do not pull over

[@randywallace2018]

I don't think any of them dark siding boys could keep up with you. This is what motorcycling is all about.

[@roadieric9472]

Well done sir.

As a Canadian, for over fifteen years, I’ve annually pilgrimaged to Deals Gap; The Dragon has humbled me hundreds of times. However, the rule of Safety Third having been usurped by Covid19, I won’t be there this year; videos like this will have to suffice. Hopefully next year I’ll be back smoking cigars and telling lies around the campfire. Be kind to each other, my American friends, the world is watching you twist and turn . . .
