I road the US 129, aka Tail of the Dragon aka Deals Gap about 7 years ago on my BMW R1150RT... Several times in both directions,. I camped out for two days. I did not hear your foot peg lean feelers drag? Hummm. One of the photo companies got a great shot of me carving a turn twice. The photo shows my boot toe dragging, I push my toe out a little to feel the turn and carving the turn. When all the forces are balanced it is beautiful. The R1150 RT handles well especially with new Michelin Pilots. Still have my BMW but did not ride it last 2 years.... That is going to change.
Yes , you should try HYW 80 to the Parkway , it’s called the Devil’s Whip, goes to the Parkway and from there you can make the loop to the Diamond Back, there in Marion and Little Switzerland. And Lake James can be part of the Loop. I never have drug the pegs in the BMW. And like you I haven’t rode in 3 years or so.
@@rjohn102 Have you ever ridden NC80 from Pleasant Gardens to the Parkway? It's a much better ride. I just got an R1150RT with very low miles going to ride it up 80 and down 226 this weekend. BTW, I live near Lake James.
@@rjohn102 Why not? Aches and pains? Got those. Just rode this bike back from Canton, Ga this past Friday. Hip pain makes me wonder if I can ride it and have fun. 02 model with 8600 miles on it now. Still have your 1150?
I don't get it. Did you just lock on that dude when he spun? Just seemed like the natrual line would have been to follow the dude in front of you. Really not trying to knock your rookie mistake, I damn near had to clip my car after my first race I'm just curious.
Probably a rookie mistake , but if you pause at 6:41 , and knowing how low you sit in theses cars , never saw car sideways till the car i was following turned left. Camera view is from roof , so i'm a foot below it...and by that time there was nowhere to go. Just a stone bruise on braking foot and one front bumper...LOL
Man that is so wild, I just came back from the North Carolina mountains, on my 2004 R1150 RT TOO! It was unbelievable. Just like your video, the ride was over the top. Keep posting trips.
These cars are fun to drive on the pavement or dirt. If are thinking about getting one there are all kinds on Racing Junkcom and you can look for a dealer on uslegendscarcom just make sure the car was built after 1995 they have titles and make sure the car is current to the rules or it could cost extra money.
Nice job. I'm looking to get into racing these cars myself. Never raced anything in my life and at age 42 I'm ready to start. Any tips on getting started and where I can get my first car??
At 1:45, I was thinking, why don't you just hold down escape and reset your car from the pits? Looks like fun, but iracing is much cheaper of a hobby i suppose.

No I bought it but can’t remember much about it, but it bolt on. I’ve still got the bike, I’ll take a look at it.

@@lyndonpack8048 not sure why I hadn’t rode , gonna need a battery for sure. I used to ride with the Harley guys but couldn’t take that for long. Lol

Nice video!!
Do you still own this bike? I'm from North Carolina to, and I am looking at buying one on eBay.
Nice Vid - Thanks!
Beautiful bike! So smooth, a real grand tourer.
Thanks , we've got great roads here in NC..
I see ;). I've got a R850 RT, I find it great! Does your 1150 make a little "clack" sound at gearchanges, specially downshifting and at low revs?
Look very nice to drive there! Nice video man
Thanks, the roads are awesome here..
you were not going very fast
Plz, show us how fast you ride that stretch of road, mark turner...
t us in Russia, usually so in a stopper go. For what to you such engine displacement? ! It's not clear.

What did you do with the microphone to suppress windnoise?
Thanks for the nice ride. What milage are you getting out of a tank of gas?
Similar, but with about 60 more horsepower. Much more top end.
That is unlucky
Who manufactures the instrument deck? What "gadgets" do you use it for?
iracing lol

Hi! Is this the stock Exhaust ??
What Speedway?
Have had the K1300 GT on my bucket list for some time , but never rode one yet ...But hopefully will soon...
I had the same bike, with the same instrument deck and driving lights. Very nice. Finally switched over to a K1200GT-2. Both are fun.
