All these videos confirm that on my ride to NC later this year, I'll be sure to avoid riding Deals Gap. Was on the fence, and now I've lost all interest.

To avoid the yahoos, ride the road during the week; gets pretty crazy on weekends. In September and October becomes much more quiet.

Ontario roads will hold little joy for you any more, I'm afraid.

I miss this place...have to hit it again next year....

It's hard to enjoy our roads and flat scenery here in Ont after getting spoiled by The Dragon...

Happy to be back in one piece....

Here's a 2 min raw video of our first day on the Tail of the Dragon. Got caught behind a cruiser and I made the most of the next minute and half second to join my group....

You'd be surprised how hard even doing the speedlimit is in some parts.

And that's what makes it fun, because you don't have to go ripping through as fast as you can to enjoy it.
Nick Ienatsch said it way back in 1991, and it's still so very relevant: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/pace
