I hope you are still alive ! Do not cut the corner short by going inside too early, it will only make the radius tighter (causing peg drag ) ! If you can't make it the long way around, you certainly aren't going to survive a short cut !!! Crossing the center line is a sure sign of being out of control.

You can cross before you apex....

Great job ! Just found your channel, I'm happy to support you and other motovloggers. Best of luck with your efforts, I look forward to seeing more from you. Take care and ride safe out there 💯💯👍👍

do that again while staying in your lane and not lean your body or head across the center line nor off the right side,,,

Bring your sport bike this fall , they call me Red, I'll be waiting.....

You were ripping it!! I had a blast last time i took my harley, similar times to me. Hopefully, I'll get to go back this year and really knock my time down. Thats my favorite place to go ride at.

Ok ! That is much better than the first one . I live on a country-road like this , many corners are tighter (35k-signed) and the road isn't as flash or wide as yours . It takes about 35mins hard-out, each way (faster on the uphill than coming back down )My 81 TR1 (chain-drive xv981cc,a bit like the xv920rh you guys got ) is putting-out a tad over 70hp , open-pipes, 40mm-flatslides and runs stock mono-shock-rear with upgraded front-fork-internals, factory twin-disc .I hit around 140k on the two straight-sections, sport-bikes pass me like I'm standing-still . FWIW most of NZ's roads are like your tail of the Dragon (but not as wide) while our 'Main-roads' are about the same-width as your 'Tail' , turning-into double-lane 'motorways' near Cities, which we have f-all of . Our roads were rated 2nd=best to Afghanistan (before the invasion) for motorcycling roads in the World , so we are lucky in that-respect . Dave NZ

That does sound similar to the dragon, most corners are marked 20mph, though there are some 10mph hairpins. I too max out on the dragon at 90mph and the sport bikes walk right away from us but I'm hoping the new suspension will help close the gap a bit. Be at Jennings GP in a couple weeks, upgrading and testing all winter in preparation for BRL (bagger race league) big twin class 2023. I'll try to film and post more. ~Hogboy

I was out riding my 97 1100 Virago, modified with much stronger and sensitive brakes and stiffer progressive springs in the forks and 15 WT fork oil. Handles pretty good, although at 75, I don't push it too hard. There is a section of fun road that runs over Tiger Mountain. These two young fellows passed me and I thought I would follow them to see how they rode. Both guys were faster than me, but I was able to keep them in sight. I could see that they were doing the same as these Harleys, cutting into the apex way too soon and slowing them down. i knew the road better than these guys did and I was afraid the rear bike was going to low-side because he kept stabbing the brakes in the corner. Sure enough, at a 10 MPH, off camber, decreasing radius corner, he apex-ed way too early and could not slow enough and ended in the middle of the oncoming lane. After that, I fell back. Thank goodness he did not meet an oncoming car. If he had met the Corvette a couple of minutes later that was out of control in that corned he would be hurt very bad. That Corvette was half in my lane when I was trail braking into a the same corner. I just kept braking and swerved to the inside most lane edge. Remember R= MPH. I learned that well about 45 years ago and practiced trail braking and changing my line tighter. Has saved me more times than I remember.

Im impressed with how many times you crossed the yellow line. And your tip-ins are spectacular. Let me know when you are riding and where so i can ride the same route the day before.

impressive riding!😎👏

What you're not understanding is the Fast Harley went around him at the beginning of the video and disappeared 😂 you can hear him but you can't see him, the guy in the video is on a rice burner...😂i caught a glimpse of him once later in the video... Harley rules!

Hell yeah!! Haulin Ass and burnin gas baby!! 🤘

Getting after it.

Impressive... Running that slowly and still unable to stay in your lane. It's not a racetrack so please don't treat it like one if you don't have the skill for it. Genuinely though, I do like to see riders of all bike types taking steps to get more skills. I encourage you to get some better tires and then find an advanced riding school to learn more about cornering. It's a great way to add more enjoyment to your riding. Bike sounds good!

Just a matter of time boys. But, each their own

@old man strength old man hows your back (except for getting old) mine is fine from not having to lay down on the gas tank everywhere I go. I would compare insurance rates with the fella but you know damn well he dont have insurance or hes on his mommy insurance.

"late apex! as late as you can turn in at the last second, brake straight , neutral throttle, turn in roll pass apex, wfo. repeat. from the mouth of the Great Freddie Spencer while on the back of his VFR 800 dragging his knee on the ground spewing "cornering 101" through his famous helmet . Do that for what you believe to be 2 quick laps, until lap three starts this is the quick lap! a whole different zipcode quicker.. the most practical how to go really really fast education i can imagine

All it takes is a little gravel on the road. Glad you survived.

About 12.5 minutes I reckon. Not too shabby for a 17 year old on a 25 year old Harley 😂

So he sticks his knee right while leaning left around a right turn. Interesting.

Why are you turning in so early on every single corner basically? It doesn't make the ride smooth at all...

Lol, you're both outriding your skillset. The guy infront is also turning in too early, and because we can see him, he's also riding crossed up. Slow down and be more deliberate in your riding. Speed will come.

Fastest out of lane.

You have to be ripping on it for the photo shoot man. Besides thst its a Harley which means slow.

Perfect timing for road crack damage too pitch bike right into aggressive white car, oh baby! it's those unseen road conditions an timing of other vehicle that's the danger rush! Don't let the front rider, make you over-ride past your riding skill limits! It's like one of my friends just rides for speed. But I don't ride for speed. I ride for enjoyment an more safety in mind, over speed. So I know it's foolish for me too think I can out power my friend with speed, with a different riding style an goals! The other major reason for speed sanity around my local area is cops. Example: I'm riding old Clackamas River road, doing 4 miles over because I know cops love boat ramp parking for naps! An biker on one rear wheel goes by me at twice speed limit. He's being chased by lighted cops car at next corner. An pulled over. I go by cops writing biker ticket. But soon after, this biker just flies by me again on one rear wheel, an here is cop car behind me, wanting by, to give motorcycle a second ticket. So I go by cops giving guy second ticket. But here is life's lesson: the bikers goes by me a third time, doing twice speed limit, on one rear wheel! An now expecting cops wanting too pass I just move bike over an let them pass, a Third time! This time I pull over a ask as cops are leaving, why man, you just got 3 tickets? It's my riding style, an I expect tickets every time I ride. He takes off again on one rear wheel twice the speed limit. Now cops are ahead of him. I wondered if they waited an popped him a 4th time on beautiful river drive? Some rider just need close courses too ride. Wonder what a days ride worth of tickets an court dates cost him? I wonder what his record is like?

When I was 18 (a long time ago) I saved up for my first motorcycle, a 1989 CBR 600. I lost my license, due to points, before I turned 19. Some of us are built for speed, willing to risk it all for the thrill:) ~Hogboy

Odds are really against you riding like that on the Dragon. The Yellow Wolf can ride faster than this without crossing the double yellow on a 900lb Gold Wing. Go search his videos.

Think i hear some bolts coming loose, this is hilarious, harleys are definitely not make for this, too slow, they only look good in front of a bar..
