While the Tail of the Dragon certainly has it's share of accidents, especially on summer weekends, I wouldn't go there assuming that you'll be involved in an incident. It's not a demolition derby after all (although, the Tree Of Shame might suggest otherwise!). more...

Hey I thought Deals Gap was a nice place to ride?! Jeees...all the crash talk. Is it really that bad?

Frame sliders are very worthwhile for any bike.

the idiots that go out there and go balls to the wall will scare the hell out of you, at first. When I was there last year I was pretty much in last of our 4 man group the whole time, and every sportbike there was passing me like I was going backwards. more...

First he tells me to bring a dinged up bike and then tells me about all the wrecks .... : )

Honestly it's being fixed and equipped with sliders ...they tell me it'll be fixed in time so I should be there but I'm sure it'll be Wednesday instead of Monday more...

Take the damn fairings off and ride it out there. Tell people it's an ER-6N that you had imported from Europe because you think the 650r with the fairings is ugly as shit. SOMEONE will fall for it, I'm sure...

I wasn't really sure how bad the damage was. Mine is scraped up but pretty much intact. I've put about 1700 miles on it after the crash.

Glad to hear you're getting it fixed in time of the trip. I hope to make it up there for a day or two but I'll probably more...

BTW when trucking it up to get it fixed the ferring was flopping all around and I wouldn't want to risk a 650 mile trip with crapped up ferrings let alone what else might be wrong. If I was right there I would do it no doubt.

I agree with the advice, but it is too late. Super encouragement, btw! LOL.

You forgot about the big trucks that take up both lanes on all the turns.
