Yellow Wolf on his GL1800 at The Tail of the Dragon from Deals Gap.wmv

[@NihongoGuy]

That guy surprised me, I was running fairly hard (but we had traffic) and, while sportbikes can often get away from me, I've never had a cruiser do what that guy does. He is truly skilled. It is fun to see on video, but try having him pass you and, no matter how hard you try, he pulls away!

Line selection through the corners; impeccable.

[@Partok81]

Really enjoyable video. I never knew a bike so heavy and built for the interstates could hustle thru the corners so well. A credit to yellow-bikes's rider! He must've been scraping the floorboards as I thought I heard yours touch down a few times. Exciting. Thanks.

[@505197]

A couple of laps on 129 will make you appreciate some straights for a change. I like curves as much as the next guy, but that damn road, as you can see, is one blind curve after another.

[@boris135]

Outstanding ride guys! So enjoyed it, and it was also nice seeing the proper driver manors. Keeps things flowing fun, safe and stress free.

[@LaJuanHughes]

I Say don't let a wing fool you. It's about the rider.

[@snoobzilla]

I was in the area in summer of 2014 and I think I followed him along a river (route 72?) on my M109. Left my friends to chase him, could not keep up... guy is good.

[@arnbut]

I didn't know that Rick was back on a 'Wing ---- that was nice to see; thanks for posting the video. It really took me back. Last time I saw Rick I was chasing him in my MINI Cooper as he piloted Trialsman's 'Wing through the Gap on a car tire. Congrats on the bike, Rick.

I saw "yellow wolf" at the store. He looks like a normal everyday person. But when he gets on his motorcycle it's like when iron man puts on his suit.

[@WVRider304]

Nice run! I can hear the rider’s breath catch the few times he overcooked a turn, then exhale as he’s squeezing out a lil wider than we like. I get it lol.

[@SCREECHTRUMPET1]

Great job! I never knew a Gold Wing could lean over that far in a curve.

[@tomlagesse9351]

And he's doing it on a car tire

@@8r1 this is a video of him on his personal KZbin account. In the comments, he states he is running a CT. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWi7fX2EgdWtrrM

Big prop to the guy who is filming because if you can stay in view of this guy your doing something. Big props

[@davidrounds3245]

He only stays with him because Rick lets him stay with him. Its fun to watch the crotch rockets boys up there that think the Wing is a road sofa. He was the guy following them through the Dragon with the camera running (I think for kill boy) . They worry if he can keep up, he is running up their rear and pushing them.

6:52 Is that maxwrist going the opposite way?

[@GaryGSF]

Seriously impressive riding on huge motorcycles.

[@michaelthompson-pd4uw]

Young men on R1's and GSXR-1000's in flip flops, cut off blue jeans, and no helmet take note. Confidence like that comes with time, not trying to impress or outrun anyone (including yourself). I have ridden with dudes like this on full dressed Gold Wings and clumsy Harleys that outpaced me. Those are the guys you stop and talk to. Those are the guys you follow and learn from. No, don't pass his ass when you can power up on him. He's just going to spook you in the next turn. Ride your own pace and don't worry about anyone around you. Imagine that cat on a 2005 Gixxer 750 20th Anniversary Edition... GHOOOOOST.

[@wholelottamiata6976]

michael thompson and then a Miata comes along and outruns all of you 😂

[@lostinthecarolinas]

Nice and smooth. Mostly keeping the mirrors between the lines (away from the rocks and traffic). Watch for break lights--you won't see them come on very often. Well done.

[@tiagomendes8376]

Awesome riding 💪 Here no “countersteering” discussion 😂

[@elgroomez]

He's back!

[@jamesbottger5894]

Isn't Yellow Wolf also a darksider?

[@MikeFreemanRides]

Squeaky clutch lever? I hate it when that happens while I video a ride on a curvy road. Don't mind the scrapes from the boards and pegs though. ;)

[@brianmishler9274]

GW’s are the best!! You guys think this bike handles good? Imagine my 98’ Valkyrie F6C. A hopped up naked GW. Best bike I’ve ever owned hands down.

[@stevebigviking]

Fabulous! I've a question "what time of year was it?" I ask because I'm coming over in early March 2015, and this could be one of our roads to Gatlinburg.

[@505197]

The Video description says march 10. It looks pretty chilly to me, so dress warm.

[@stevebigviking]

Will do! :-)

[@rabonaruzgarduz3306]

Great positioning👏

[@JimmieJohn]

Why didn't he pop any wheelies?

[@LaJuanHughes]

Great video

[@Pilot9r]

I'm in town with my red 2009 Kawasaki concours for a few days. Is he still making videos of people riding the dragon? I might go for it.

[@srobak]

Please don't tell me those are double-yellow passes that are edited out...?

[@kc5hgv]

Stay off the paint and you will live longer on this road. One turn and some nut in the other direction on his outside lane will take you out. Stay away from the double yellow and favor white line side.

[@davidrounds3245]

Martin G, the only sign I have seen said 30mph. I have only ridden it a half dozen times but I would guess that the average rider is doing 40 to 50 mph most of the time. Maybe down to 30 in those very tight hair pins. These guys are quite a bit faster then that.

[@Ironparker]

Not at all! We are law-abiding citizens one and all.

[@stranskyrn]

Where is this road "Tail of the Dragon?"

[@tomlagesse9351]

Near Tellico Plains, TN. Road leads into Deals Gap. Hwy 129

[@Ironparker]

LOL. Radar screamer talking to me.

[@bill45colt]

he musta been outa snuff. Ive never known a guy to ride a motorcycle fast who wasnt outa snuff. As for me, ive ridden the tail since 1968 about 3 times per year, and dont get in a hurry. I like to enjoy the scenery. But then again, he mighta been afraid of being caught by a bear. Yep, i guess thats it.
