Well this is the only decent video I have found of Deals Gap or the tail of the dragon as they call it.
Watch Me!
Great soundtrack. It dies after about 12 mins and goes black.
This is the road that I love to ride I plan on going on it before I come back 6 days from now  will try and get my own bullet cam footage.
318 bends in 11 miles
I think the most I have got up to is a about 90mph in the bends, but I have seen some nutters fly down that road.

So any vids of your fav road ?

Aye it is an amazing road
The best bit was when I went earlier in the year one of the guys we were riding with had just got a t-shirt on  the highest point of elevation is 6000 ft I think. When we stopped to take pics all he done was bitch about not being able to feel anything on his body I had forgot I had a hoody under my seat too till we got down 
The best bit is coming down the hills in some areas as you feel some strange g's coming down on you while leaning over.

It looks like a lot more fun if you're riding an SM IMO.
That cbr rider was lucky! |

Wow!
I really want to do that road, wales is nothing compared to that, yes they do have evil corners (that can catch you out even when you've messed up once on it before and know it's coming  ). That road looks awesome though, nice surface and constant flowing corners, wouldn't like to come round a corner with that truck coming the other way mind.  |

And who said Americans only have straight roads? That first duke vid was from some convention thing they had a month or so back, the guy its dedicated to was a member on r1-forum.com, the only thing about riding mountain roads is trying to corner whilst going down hill, I find it really hard to maintain a constant speed |

Road does look amazing. But is it just me or is the Duke rider a really crappy rider? He's all over the road, sometimes going voer the yellow line and altering his lines a lot jsut to get his knee down.  |

Here's an excellant video of Deals's Gap (far better that the Duke rider IMO)....Don't even think about it if you are on dial-up (45 Mb)....also needs Real Player
Clickety Click

Did he just turn off or where the fuck did he go?
