2006 R1 video made at the Dragon

There is some serious editing going on with that vid.:dthumb: I would love to know how they got some of the angles. A boom or something? :scratch:

It also looked like some of it was shot on the Skyway.

It had to be a boom. It was way to smooth to be a second bike. You never see the top of the tail on those odd angles. They took the time to remove all camera mounts from the forks, tank and tail to get all those deferent angles too.

Some of that vid had to be on the skyway because he was rollin to quick and pullin wheelies...that's not going to happen on the dragon.

That's what I was thinking.

That's the great thing about living here. I don't have to plan it. I just go when the notion strikes.

It was State Patrol on one of their harass the Gap days. There were supposed to be 15 cars and bikes writing tickets. They left around 2pm and every thing went back to normal.

yeah but you were so pissed off that day and decided to stay on the NC side right?

Yep! No fun with all the cops.:nonod: I did make a return later that evening.

Midd week is always the best time to ride the Gap any way.:2cents:

Just let me know when you come down and I will meet you. Might come back this way for some more cool roads.

:iagree: Between 10am and 12 mid-week is the best time to ride the Gap.
