Cool shots...shows the front suspension in compression going around the turns. When I rode the Dragon a couple of years ago, I was pretty worried about the coppers, so I basically did the speed limit. I considered the whole thing kind of boring...yawn.

Re: Deals Gap. Is that a clothing store?

Handsome bike. I like your smile in that one shot, looks like you're having a good time.
I know a guy named Gordon who wears those padded under garments when he wears jeans. He was hit by another rider on Deal's Gap and it injured him in a way that would have been prevented if he'd been ATGATT. The oncoming rider was on Gordon's side of the road.

Great pics Hudson.
Gotta work on the exits maybe.
I see the brakes are off, so maybe under acceleration the rubber cow has raised it's rump a little, and the lean is contributing?

thanks guys. Yeah I still need to polish up my entry and exists. I don't get nealy such practice because I don't have roads like this in the area I live, so I am constantly learning when I go out to such areas that are known for these type of roads. Practice makes perfect. I remember one turn I would negoitiate incorrectly and say to myself "yeah that was bad. concertrate to be better at the next one." All in all though, it was joy!
