The tail of the dragon ends in NC pretty close to where I grew up. Fun, tight, twisty road that's super popular. There are a lot of people on this road that shouldn't be....on occasion 18 wheelers.
It’s kind of like a motorcycling merit badge. I’ve seen pictures of 18 wheelers stuck on it. I was more concerned about some knucklehead blowing a corner,coming towards me. Heard squealing tires coming towards me and it’s a guy in a mustang convertible with one hand on the wheel and the other around his wife/girlfriend. Everyone was shaking their heads at that.

@Jett129 That’s the thing about riding as when I first started, I was too dumb to know all of the hazards and the shit happens. The more I ride, the more I realize how much can go wrong and how quickly it does so.

My brother in law was taking an off ramp that he/I have ridden a million times before and he hit a patch of sand/absorbent from a car accident earlier in the day. The sand was put down to soak up all of the fluids from the accident. He hit it and slid out from the corner/ramp, laying down the bike, and breaking a couple of ribs. Picked it up from adrenaline and rode home (about 5 miles) to discover the broken ribs…

I love riding and don’t know when I’ll stop, but I don’t ride as aggressively as I used to.

Throw in multiple drivers and cell phones and things have gotten a lot more interesting every time I go out.

@endo @louisbosco thanks guys! It's very raw and I like that a lot. Offcourse I'm dreaming of bigger bikes but for now it's perfect

300 mile ride with the boys yesterday. Perfect weather in AZ

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Choko looks like a good day! I was pretty cold a couple days ago, its been topping out around 50 lately. Ready for some warmer riding weather.

dug up an old shot we took on a moto-camp trip a few years ago with my old sporty.

Well, after what feels like an age of training, trying and testing I finally got my full A1 bike license and bought my first 'big' bike...it's literally like being a kid at Christmas all over again

(Apologies for my crap pics, my phone camera is terrible)
