250 ripping up Deals Gap with near miss collisions

killerkeith · October 28th, 2011, 06:44 AM

This is our last Dragon run of our trip. Lots of action including a Harley blowing a blind corner and a Concours 1400 almost killing 3 bikers and himself all on the same run! Crazy...

This is the place to run your little Ninja...very happy in the corners with lots of pegs scraping fun!

Great video. Love how the 250 just overtakes bikes on curvy roads like it isn't even trying.

So, why are you complaining about the Concourse, when it looks like you did pretty much the same thing at ~ 2:10?

Welcome! and nice video.

Watch it again, I passed in lane when those bikes went by and not around a blind corner over the double yellow (well maybe just a little) but I didn't force anyone off the road.

Nice to see a bike vid w/out music.

alex.s · October 28th, 2011, 01:07 PM

fun vid.

i'm forced to call you a squid for it though. especially the peg scrape... dangerous riding. remember, paint has about half as much traction vs pavement... maybe think about not crossing that double yellow and killing yourself

LOL

This squid rides in full gear. Ya, we were hauling the mail there. I don't ride like that at home, just on vacation

That was a Saturday over the Columbus Weekend. Zero police all long weekend. When we went in May the cops were in full force, which meant no speeding in the straights.

Great video man. Looks like a blast and a beautiful ride. I'm totally jealous.

Totally need to get my butt on a trip to the Dragon.

I'm so jelly.

Great video

I was there in Sept. and coming from the flat, straight roads of Florida that was some scary sh*t.
