Good Morning America at the Dragon

http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=9088145

Meh, centered around Indian bikes but still pretty cool. Down side they used the word "crotch rocket" and showed a sport bike passing on a double yellow while on the back wheel.

When I can figure out how to install a bike-cam, I’ll post a video of where I usually ride. It looks very much like the “Tail of The Dragon” but in much smaller secondary roads here in NC .
If you look closely at minute 01:30 a silver bike passes by that looks very much like Hammerhead and his bike! Judging by his avatar!

Nope. Definately not Hammerhead. That guy was going way too fast.

"...semi truck drivers with more confidence than geometry skill." Got to give him props for that.

Shifty if you knew the road you would understand. Not a place for trucks at all. I've seen where a biker with a DOT drove a truckers semi through the Gap while another rider gave the truck driver a ride behind their own truck because they could not handle the road.

It's one of two places I've ever ridden where you sometimes have to look back over your shoulder to see where you're going next. The other is Needles Highway in the Black Hills.

I understand completely. That's why I was giving the reporter props.

That crotch rocket passed the dude then popped up a wheelie so nicely! I had to watch it twice before I declared it badass! "a braver man" indeed
