Great video clip. As an Atlantic Canadian, for over fifteen years I’ve been perennially pilgrimaging to The Dragon. Aside from the pavement, it’s the people and the “tales” around the fire pit, more that the Tail itself, that draws me back. The one thing I’ve learned? Humility trumps hubris and smooth is better than fast.
I dont think there has been a single overnight I have spent at the Firepit there where The Canadians were not well represented. Great to see so many neighbors there consistently.
If you like the TOTD, you'll like "The Snake" even better! It's right here in northeastern Tennessee and into Virginia. 489 curves, 3 mountains, 1 valley...113 miles of twisties.
Great Video, Never got to see what bikes you were riding. I suppose I could guess it's a Honda Hawk I know nothing more than the name and that it's a Honda street bike. Glad the Harleys and 4 wheelers sight seeing didn't block you too much. You both did a great job at staying in your own lane, but that does not mean that some one is not going come into your lane and wipe you out.
For those who are unaware. This is a public road used by many to commute back and forth to work. Due to the number of vacationers in the area, there are many who are unaware and just taking it to get over to Tenn from NC and vise versa as you don't have too many other options. Weekends are the worse and the amount of traffic is unbearable at times.
Wow ... An awesome ride ! I rode deals gap #129 in 1992 on a cbr600f. Wasn't nearly as well known as today and very little traffic back then. .... The cost of a mistake is terribly high. And looking back on myself , I see an idiot. ... But God , I had fun !!! 😁👍 As we get older we get smarter , and have less fun 😩
Then you have people like me who even as I get older I still have fun bc the risk of death doesnt scare me, if wished for 15 years or so now I was dead so driving roads like this or are 100+ doesnt really scare me.
Ohh man, REALLY liked that show that had this song for it’s intro..those 2 Brit SF guys as the main characters. Can’t remember the name of it (the Show)…dang it. Didn’t know “Dragon’s Tail” was a PLACE either..cool
Never had the chance to ride that road, maybe one day, have a similar bike do, I’m not sure if yours is a 400, a 600 or the 650, like mine. They are more than 30 y old and still counting the smiles per miles!!!!!!!
My Hawk is an 89 650. My husband has an 88 grey Hawk 650 too but he just got the Blue CB 1 400 running. We had to take it up there on the dragon! Those bikes are absolutely perfect for that road! You have to go one day!😊
@@HawkGirlMistyV hi, mine is also an ‘89 model, with more than 100000 kms, and looking as good as ever. The road trip is at the planning stage, on my next trip to USA I will be buying a bike to tour around. I have been over there in a few occasions but always toured by car. This time I’m planning to arrive in LA, buy something over there and head through the Grand Canyon. Then further east see some of the canyon in Utah, MOAB and then head north from there, through Yellowstone up to Banff in Canada, then back down to California Yosemite and sell the bike. I’m still waiting to hear from two motorcycles dealers about the insurance and registration papers for a tourist, and of course what sort of bikes do they have available, I have in mind a Honda 500 tween, but you never know. See you, it was nice to see another NTV doing the rounds. Keep enjoying your riding with your husband and please keep safe.
There is a Hawk Girl Biker, "I'll hit that button & ring that bell"! Not that it has anything to do with biker or here, I'm reminded of just other day, enjoying little sunshine, a Pair of Turkey Vultures flew in circle over my head, I know them because my road in NW Washington is their territory, an right behind the pair of vultures flew a pair of Eagles! An within feet of Eagle flew matched pair of Red Tailed Hawks! As I looked up from my tiny yard (an I mean tiny), see six birds in three pairs an three different breeds, all with big wing spans, looking like flight of airplane patterns! I talked too all six bird, how cool is this but if you think I need too wash my hair I'll go get shampoo!
Always remember the golden rule, experience is a terrible teacher why? She gives you the test first. Roads like this are made to have fun on not die or get crippled, pushing your personal it's not worth it just enjoy the hell out of what you know how to do, to hell with those of the riders, I ride really good and I had a guy come by me on a Ducati he had to be going twice as fast as I and this was not a straight road ,it had curves in it.but not me for me.
Beauty! Did you guys do C. Skyway ? Planning this trip myself this season. Your vid is really encouraging. The google maps fly-over is really beautiful, and your vid confirms it. While you were there how many times did you do the dragon? marcus
Well the Tail of the Dragon is a lot of fun, and I myself have enjoyed it many times, but if your ready for the whole dragon go to the Andes Mountains in Peru............
I had a blue one with a bottom fairing off an Interceptor 500 and a 1/4 cafe fairing. painted blue to match . That bike was cool but not as fun as the SuperHawk :)
I don't know if you realize this, but it is against the law to pass someone when there is a double yellow line. Sure you didn't understand that law, maybe next time.
We pull over for motorcycle because they can't stop like a car can and there are a lot of accidents on this road cars and motorcycle. doesn't bother me personally they spend a lot of money here with our community stay safe and keep two wheels on the road.
Thanks for using decent music and not death metal. I’ve been on that road half dozen times. Still have no idea how you got all those people to move over for you.
Looks too busy to get decent speed due to all those mobile chicanes ridden by fat old macho yanks.( kidding, relax,) What bikes do you have...is one a honda, didn't get a good look
That was a long intro, but otherwise, Nice! Most of the vids I’ve seen from the Dragon were crash vids, so this is a refreshing change- people who can ride. Riding on a road like that somehow reminds me of alpine skiing.
AND, thanks so much from us 4 wheelers going much faster for pulling over. I've driven the Dragon 20 time or so and was constantly blocked by slow moving Harleys who refused to yield. AND, I have pulled over several times for faster traffic, mostly fast Sport Bikes. Courtesy and respect makes everyone's experience more worthwhile.
First video of yours I came across and what a breath of fresh air, excellent compilation of footage, music and not a word said. I too have a channel but a complete amateur next to yours. I love the simplicity and humility you convey without those very words I mentioned. Good show 👏🏽
Just came across your channel. Love it!!! Keep making beautiful memories please. You 2 are an inspiration and so very lucky to have each other. Stay safe.
I used to live 30 minutes south of the Dragon, but I retired to Thailand. What do you call a 375 mile long loop run with almost 2000 curves and lions, tigers, bears, and elephants? It is called the Mae Hong Son loop, a bucket list quality run. ( There are endless UA-cam videos about it. Some of them are mine.)
Another great video. Have you two ever ridden 226A the Diamondback, to or from Little Switzerland, NC? If not I highly recommend it. A lot less traffic :)
I ridding the Tail yet. I did the back of the dragon and put out a video recently showing the entire 32 miles. Hope to get to ride the Tail of the Dragon one day soon.👍👊🇺🇸
I've rode the Dragon on My Harley Wideglide with My Wife on the back and you better be running pretty close to the speed limit that riding condition.I let anybody go by us that I knew was faster or wanting to ride at a faster pace.I enjoy riding the Blue Ridge Parkway alot more on My Harley Streetglide than The Trail Of The Dragon.You really have to pay attention to what You and the other riders are doing on that road.Too many guys get killed on that road thinking it's a racetrack and that they're stilled Racers.
The dragon is fun when nobody is on it. On weekends, its usually a dumpster fire. Car clubs, a gazillion Harley guys that don't know how to turn and end up sideways in the oncoming lane, etc... But when there isn't much traffic, its a fun road, although the roads around it, I think are actually better.
There really are better roads up there. But you have not lived till you run the Dragon on say, Easter Weekend or in November. I lived two hours from there for years, and once you learn WHEN to go, you can have a lot more fun.
It's a day. I too am about 90+ minutes away in adjacent mountains. A lighter and nimble bike like a Hawk or other CB makes it more pleasant. The speeds are slow, unless wou want to pay the $250 toll from the TSP and sheriff, so race bikes are not going to their edge. Big cruisers don't get great scenery like they do on the adjacent roads. A midsized classic bike or similar modern upright is about perfect for the road itself.
It's been about 15 yrs. since I rode the Tail of the Dragon. I rode all the way through, went to get something to eat, and rode back. When I got back, I swore I would never ride it again. I rode it on an 1984 H.D. Lowrider. It was beautiful scenery, but if you looked at it, you stood a good chance of becoming part of it. I came upon 3 wrecks and witnessed 2 more. I also got the crap scared out of me twice. Both times, I was going about 20 mph around a blind curve and had a crotchrocket come up behind me doing 60 mph or better. I had been riding for over 40 yrs. then and I had never in my life come across so many inconsiderate and down right hazardous riders. From this video, it looks as though things have changed considerably. But I'm still not going back. The Cherohala Skyway, however, is fantastic.
Well, having just watched a girl 'school' a Nissan GTR at speeds would make me piss myself on The Tail'... ...nice video, but def' not the ONLY one I'll ever need to see. There's a piece of my '96 Sunfire GT on one of those trees. Came around the "Ballsack" (what I call it, right after The Chicanes) into some jackass pulling a boat half in my lane. Hit the gravel. Car's only 1 and an 1/8th off the ground at the tranny pan. Lost part of the splitter. Back in '85, I was ripping up just past the Dalton S's about two feet off the paint, when a VF600 went UNDER ME and blazed off. License plate was "I FLY" and, yeah, it was a girl. Real cutie, too. I was on my VF1000R(R) Vance and Hines screamer at the time. Again, nice video. Thanks for showing us the sights!
The dragon? I think in our time we had better streets, they followed as well a river and were banned for the last 40 Years for motorbikes. The street was recently flooded and villages are been swept away. That was a course from hell 40 miles long under railway bridges following the river. At this time we were some kind of hooligans. And used to race these roads with an RD350 until the footrest scratched and sparked on the ground. I have seen many wheelies these days, but no movie ever with this kind of driving style. The bike becomes uncontrollable, You brake You fly out of the curve and You divinely kill every big bike, because You are always on full throttle. I don't say this was right, but we really could drive and be to Young risk more than 99 lives, more than a cat, running on credit. The streets were closed of the death rate. I survived this time and still remember the fun, better than border jumping.😁😁🤩🤩🤩
I got back into riding last year after being off a motorcycle since 1985. Getting the feel back and i would love to take this ride. As well as visit , wheels Throuh Time.,.
Good vid, looks like you edited a couple or more runs, its nice when you can run a road multiple times and work the lines. Nice to see courteous people sharing the road! Looks like you are having fun.
Love the video I'm 51&disabled but still can ride want to before I can't anymore I got the name Fast Eddie years ago I've been riding over 30years last 2years no motorcycle riding is like thearpy to me I've had it hard last several years my wife of 23 years passed away 3years ago lost my home land became homeless etc I live in a small apartment in Washington n.c My dream is to get another motorcycle & live from my bike travel show people where I go motorcycle maintenance, camping etc it just takes everything I get a month to make it once I get a motorcycle I can use money I get each month to live on.praying I get another motorcycle 🙏
I agree,. The only "Dragon" video you need to watch.....to learn how NOT to ride it. Passing others without giving them opportunity to pull over. That's the kind of ignorance that gives that road its reputation.
I live10 minutes away in Maryville. After ???? 50 times at least you get to know every inch of the turns.. Always have to respect it though. More than once I’ve had one of those uh oh !! Turns that scare the heck out of me.
Hi, " The Only "Dragon" Video you ever Need to See! ". Did you ever see the movie " Dragonheart ( 1996 ) "? I would not have liked to miss that movie. " Hey! "
looking at the end of this video i cant help but wonder if a harley rider can ride the dragon by themselves. they seem to always form a parade having to leave together....lol
@@timnevitt2993 went on a Tuesday early October and it was perfect had a great run. Your right talking to people there. Stay clear of Thursday through the weekends. Stay away from the holiday weekends and the hight summer months and you will have a great experience 😀 👍
The minute you went over the double yellow, I quit watching.
Great video clip. As an Atlantic Canadian, for over fifteen years I’ve been perennially pilgrimaging to The Dragon.

"smooth is better than fast".....I like that and agree.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
I dont think there has been a single overnight I have spent at the Firepit there where The Canadians were not well represented. Great to see so many neighbors there consistently.
That "flaming knignts" jacket at the end cracked me up...must be a MC club that started in San Francisco.
Just found this channel, one of the best Dragon vids I've watched. Lots of skill and respect by other drivers for faster vehicles. Love it.
The song is called
Short Change Hero by The Heavy
Just found your channel. Never thought I’d see a Honda hawk ever again.
Nice! I really want to ride the Tail of the Dragon! Looks like y’all had fun!
Fantastic! So glad you had a great time! I really enjoy riding it too. This is the best video I’ve seen on it yet! Y’all ride safe and have fun!
If you like the TOTD, you'll like "The Snake" even better! It's right here in northeastern Tennessee and into Virginia. 489 curves, 3 mountains, 1 valley...113 miles of twisties.
Really enjoyed that- great riding (you guys made great progress) and the cover music was awesome. Thx for sharing.
This is why we ride.
Love how many videos their are of this dragon road! These roads are standard in Europe... Music very cool

Few mention Little River Gorge Road.
Beautiful!!!
Did it on my Cherohala Dragon Smokies ride.
I like it. My type of video. Cool adventures and good music.
great video, ive been on the dragon many times some nice and some crazy depends on what day ur there
Awsome video
I live 50 miles from the tail of the dragon and have yet to ride it
Going to this year for sure
Hey, what’s up! How have you never ridden that road? 😅 The best time is late in the day.
Also the XT’s are a hoot on that road, like an angry hornet!😂
@@HawkGirlMistyV
I dont know
I rode street bikes for years just never rode it
But will pretty soon on the xt250
Ohh man, REALLY liked that show that had this song for it’s intro..those 2 Brit SF guys as the main characters. Can’t remember the name of it (the Show)…dang it. Didn’t know “Dragon’s Tail” was a PLACE either..cool

She rides better than most of the guys I"ve seen riding the dragon, haha
Dang I wish I bought a Hawk in the late 80s
Nice riding ! And lots of nice road etiquette too! We have some lovely roads here in 🇬🇧 but not one as concentrated as that !
Totes mcgoats crunchy nar nar bra !! Keep it crispy
This is art; see the lines she's drawing. One of the best tutorials I've seen - nice music as well innit!
Well the Tail of the Dragon is a lot of fun, and I myself have enjoyed it many times, but if your ready for the whole dragon go to the Andes Mountains in Peru............

Too good to wave.
Love my CB-1s!
Love videos of that area but passing on the double solid yellow is a rookie move.
Not a rookie move at all. Unless having over 25 years of experience on bikes is considered being a rookie, then ok.
What is that amazing sound track please!
Awesome Awesome video..thank you
LUV the music!
Top video
I like your name ' Hawk Girl '.
Yea good for you , glad you got to film what stupid does .
Thanks for using decent music and not death metal. I’ve been on that road half dozen times. Still have no idea how you got all those people to move over for you.
Naw... Much splicing of roads... nice production, but it isn't that!
Looks too busy to get decent speed due to all those mobile chicanes ridden by fat old macho yanks.( kidding, relax,) What bikes do you have...is one a honda, didn't get a good look

This is something iv only seen in person on that 1 road

It not your private road sorry it for everyone to ride
@@stevecalaway478 Its just courtesy. Some people have it, some don't.
@@GaryL3803 and clearly steve doesnt and thinks hes entitled to not be nice and let faster cars and bike go around him
The only problem with this video is it's about 15 minutes too short. Nice ride and a cool tune to go with it.
Lost respect for you at your first illegal pass. Then second.. then third.
Guess the meaning of those double yellow lines isn't something you two learned in driver's ed.
That’s the motorcycle lane!
Jeff, adult men do not tell other's how to drive.
First video of yours I came across and what a breath of fresh air, excellent compilation of footage, music and not a word said.

Passing on double line, taking the curves on the wrong side of your lane! Yes, your video is a good lesson in how not to ride the dragon!!!
Sigh…noobs. So many non-skilled riders on the road just to make vids.
I used to live 30 minutes south of the Dragon, but I retired to Thailand. What do you call a 375 mile long loop run with almost 2000 curves and lions, tigers, bears, and elephants?

I have a group of riders from Italy coming to ride the gap this Summer. Should be a good time. We'll show them what Southern Hospitality is like.
GREAT EDIT! Love the song selection. Wife and I need to get down there again.
Definitely! Stay at the inn, it’s awesome, super clean and 65.00 a night. It was our first time staying there. Now I wonder why!
Double yellow lines..........
Another great video.

Hi, " The Only "Dragon" Video you ever Need to See! ". Did you ever see the movie " Dragonheart ( 1996 ) "? I would not have liked to miss that movie. " Hey! "
Great video! Twisties are always super fun
IF YALL PASS ON THIS RODE YOU BE A SMEAR ON THE PAVEMENT(MEDAVAC EVERY WEEK)THE TOW COMPANIES LOVE YALL
looking at the end of this video i cant help but wonder if a harley rider can ride the dragon by themselves. they seem to always form a parade having to leave together....lol
Great video! I have a 1989 CB-1 and a 1991 Hawk in my garage. Such a treat to see these sweet bikes ridden so well.
The Dragon can be fun, but too crowded. So many better roads in the surrounding area that in my opinion are more fun to ride.
Bucket list! I'm on the West Coast; so one day, I'll make the trip.....
Had the same bike in 2001. LOVED IT
passing on double yellow line. NOT CLEVER!!!!!!
Who sings that song.great for riding.
On a good road I like cowboy by kid rock😎👍
I here so much of the tail of the dragon, has anyone heard of or done the devil's whip?
Last time I rode the Dragon years ago and a semi truck was stuck in a switchback.
Never thought of making this an overnight trek. Looks like a nice place to visit.
if u can hit it in the middle of the week because weekends are crazy
@@timnevitt2993 went on a Tuesday early October and it was perfect had a great run. Your right talking to people there. Stay clear of Thursday through the weekends. Stay away from the holiday weekends and the hight summer months and you will have a great experience 😀 👍
Awesome intro, and that was the right song for that ride! Awesome video!
Very nice but we want to hear the engine sound 😀
Nice relaxing ride, but Some need to play that song?
