Pics don't work at the moment

Downloaded the video - nice :thumbsup:

Wrong choice of music though. :? :P

Do you even know what the chick sings in the first song ?

Translation for everyone : "We dance in a square , we dance concentrated"

Ah yes... "the tree of shame", this is at the begining of Draggon's tail where people leave their broken bike parts when they get bitten by the draggon's 11 miles of twisties.

Do you even know what the chick sings in the first song ?


No we don't speak German, we got this song from a funny MTV add and since it sounds cool we decided to use it. The MTV add is really funny you have to see it @ www.kontraband.com somewhere.

Cool pic's thanks for sharing. I'm going to do the Dragon next month. The Tail of the Dragon, 11 miles and 318 curves. I hope it won't be to intimidating for a flat lander like me.
Cheers! 8)

a1a your going to love the Dragon, I only wished I lived closer by. I sugest you go towards Atlant and then take the back roads up to it. There are some nice twisties on the way there for pleanty of practice. Let me tell you, you will have a smile from ear to ear the whole time. The feeling of this jewel of an engine coming out of turns is like...like...like I can't explain, you have to experience it. If there is a heaven this is it!

Good luck ride safe, and don't get bit by the dragon. If you get to confident it might whip you with its tail. 8)

Hi jpsm,
There will be about 10 or 12 from my M/C Club going up to Franklin, NC. Which will be or home base while up there. We will spend three full days riding up in them thar hills. Yes, we are going through Hotlanta and then take the back roads to Franklin. We are doing other twistie rodes, but not sure which just yet.
Looking on your total distance covered on the map. I was wondering how many miles you rode per day? I enjoyed your cool video my friend. Which bike was yours the red or the yellow one?
Cheers! :riding:

10 - 12 people...NICE!!!! Are they all in SVs? I wish we could have rode with more people on our trip. Maybe next time we can join you guys in Jacksonville and go from there. Im on the Yellow SV and we rode different distances, in 4 days total. the longest was 700 miles from Atlanta back to Miami, and the shortest 350 from Miami to Jacksonville. Our average speed was between 90-110 so we made decent time. My only complaint is that we had to stop a lot for gas.

All on SV's now that would really be cool. :wink: No it will be a mixed bag of bikes. In the twisties there will be two groups of riders. The spirted group and the mild and meek group. I'll probably be in the M/M group at least for a while anyway. :roll: 700 miles in one day! You must of really wanted to get home to Miami. :lol: Traveling at those speeds your gas mileage is really gonna suck. You must have stopped between 100 and 125 miles for gas. I'm going to wimp out and trailer my bike up with my buddy. He will be on a Harley Ultra Classic. I told you its going to be a mixed bag of bikes. :) There will be BMW's to Yamaha's and anyyhing in between.
Cheers!
