New, hardly. A 2,000' climb on a 900# Voyager on an unfamiliar mountain road, enjoying the views and the ride, not knowing what kind of wildlife might be around the next curve, and not being as invincible as I once was. Videos in general do not convey a good sense of actual on the ground elevation changes. You want fast - change your playback speed. ✌️
@@BackRoadzRider I'm so glad you rode with wisdom here, brother. Riding like a moron on unfamiliar roads is a death wish. I ride slow on new twisties as well because I have nothing to prove to anyone, AND it allows me to enjoy the scenery a lot more. I ride a Gold Wing, and although it will handle those twisties a much higher speeds, I just won't do it. I ride two-up with my lovely wife 99% of the time, and so her well-being is my number one concern. It's not fun for her either if I ride like a moron through twisties. I rode the Snake last fall (I live up in the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee) and I watched two riders with more testosterone than brains ride right off the edge and I never saw how far they fell, but I'm not sure they even lived. It's not worth it. Ride safe, ride well, and ride often! Thanks for sharing your ride!! I've been in 49 of the 50 states and Tennessee, along with southwestern VA and northwestern NC, are the best riding I've ever seen! There are tons of great places to ride, for sure, but I like it here the best!
Beautiful road! Thanks for the ride along!
With all respect mate are you a new rider?
It felt like the video was in slow motion thats all.
