Gotta be one of the best biking roads - VIDEO

But seriously......total heaven. Well mine at least.

I think my ultimate biking ambition would have to be to ride Deals Gap oh well dream on eh

Every time you watch a clip from there have you ever seen a car?

Well, I've seen pics of the of the SV Riders just about sliding under a pickup Cornerwise it looks amazing, but the visibility's rotten and they say it's pretty common to find a car, bike or massive truck on your side of the road in the blind bends

not a very smooth ride is it..??

he's like off the throttle accellerate out of it then stop nearly and start..

I would like to see Amarko ride smoothly up there

This is one of the best i've ridden

Actually it's mostly in Tennesee, about ¼ mile of the 11 mile stretch of US Rt 129 is in North Carolina.

People think of it as being in NC because most of the nearby lodging is in NC

everything within a 200 mile radius is fantastic riding

Dang. I was going to say Tennesee, then I couldn't spell Tennesee so I googled for "Deal's Gap" and read it was in NC

I like this site better for up to date info about the Dragon

I'm going there next year. I'm planning on hiring a bike (probably be a BMW adventure bike- I'm damned if I'm going to try that on a Harley) for a couple of days and doing that section of road several times. I know it'll be expensive to hire a bike, but I've budgeted for it. I could just be naughty and go to the nearest sportsbike shop nearby for a "test ride", but I expect they're wise to that.

The ShaggyZ clip, btw

Haha poor ShaggyZ! Did he do anything wrong, or just turned too tight for the road and tyres?
