A few photos. Driving on the Tail of the Dragon again on Sunday 5/23/21. Note the bike at the bottom. There are several curves on the Dragon like the one below where you come down a hill into the corner and the have to accelerate up the hill coming out of the curve. If I went into the corner fast and accelerated out really hard I could hear the rear tire rubbing the inner fender well. The camera the guys taking the photos use are so fast they don't show how fast the cars are going into the corners but let me tell you, everyone goes fast on the Dragon or you get run over. 🙂 The guys on bikes like this go all out like they are racing. Hundreds of them a day go up and down the 11 miles of the Dragon to take on the curves. A handful of them get killed each year on the Dragon from going over the side of the road into trees. There are no guardrails on the Dragon and the ravines are steep. Last year one of them ran off the road and it was over a week before they found him.
