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 Mr. Green will try and get my own bullet cam footage.

318 bends in 11 miles Mr. Green

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 Thumbs Up

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 Laughing 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 Laughing I had forgot I had a hoody under my seat too till we got down Embarassed

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. Shocked

Wow! Shocked

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 Shifty). 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. Confused

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 Confused

Yeah thats basically it, you try to hold the throttle in a neutral position, yet you find yourself going faster than you wanted to be because you're rolling down the hill Evil or Very Mad

Tbh that truck was scary, imagine coming round a bend like those blokes in the SM vid to find a trailer on your side of the road! But really what else could he do, there was surely no way he could make the corner without going on to the other side of the road?

They should stick to the motorway as most of those roads have weight restrictions Wink

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. Rolling Eyes

Yep:
I normally go into Sheffield, along Snake Pass (but the opposite way to the video), into Glossop and down some twisty roads to The Cat and Fiddle. (The videos were of other people doing the roads).
