2:30 minutes and no crash at the end? I was very disappointed.

I kept expecting the Goldwing to be gone/crashed when the chase bike came around each corner!

What an idiot. I was expecting a truck with towing mirrors to take his head off in one of those left hand corners or a trip into the bushes.

The driver on the Goldwing was following really good lines (at least where the chase bike is close enough to see them)...but the driver of the chase bike was sloppy as hell. His lines were very poor, and on some of the quick S's I actually felt like he barely had control.

Then again, that's just my amateur opinion.

I'd almost bet that's a run through Deal's Gap. And yeah Tru, I thought similar things about the chase bike. There was one point I thought he was going to lose it when he was flipping from one turn to another.

Sure looks like a deals gap run based on the landscape, and amount of other traffic on the road/side of the road.

Yeah, the Goldwing looked very professional, while the chase bike almost made me sick to my stomach....never scene someone standing bikes up like that without completing the turn, to correct the oversteer...

It was obvious that the chase bike was not as experienced, and was pushing themselves.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't run deals gap that way. No chance.

Holy shit what an idiot on the chase bike. Hear him scraping on every hard corner?

Yeah, I noticed the scraping as well. If that is Deal's, I'm surprised they were able to run it that fast. The cops have cracked down hard in the last few years.

It's only a couple hour ride for me up to Deal's Gap, but I think before I enjoy the ride through, I'm going to drive it first in my car to get a feel for it.
