Riding the Dragon's Tail

On Friday, June 19, 2009 I rode my '84 Goldwing down to Atlanta for a meeting with Steve Burge from OSTraining.com.  I did Joomla training with them in Cincinnati, Denver, New York and Toronto last fall.

I decided, more at the last minute, to take Hwy 129 down from Knoxville on my way to Atlanta.  It adds a bunch of time, but I was hoping it would be fun.  What I didn't realize, was that the route I chose was the world famous Dragon's Tail (http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ - retailer nearby).  318 curves in 11 miles... insane!!!

Here's the video I shot - about 2/3 of it... lots of fun...  only one close call :)

 

Warning:  REALLY bumpy - sorry - this is totally amateur... I used a flexible tripod with no stabilization - wrapping the legs around my windsheild mount.  Also - this is shot through the windshield... (it gets better about 1/2 way through)... but enjoy if you wish!

    Some time ago, I did need to buy a good car for my firm but I did not earn enough cash and couldn't purchase anything. Thank goodness my brother suggested to try to get the business loans at reliable bank. Hence, I acted so and was happy with my sba loan.
