Ive been looking for this for a while, were those Alabama plates on that wing? Supposedly this is my late friend Tony Hopkins, he found this and he showed me before he recently passed about 8 months ago. He was laughing his ass off showing us this, he only had one eye too.... he was in his mid 70s and could throw down better than any of the squid kids in town on a GL1800...
Thank you for putting a name to this video.. rode like a local.. this video was always more tongue in cheek.. I always wondered if he knew about all his fans
He was living life to the fullest ! I wish only some of us could have that experience. People need to experience as much as they can in this ONE life you are given.
@@Teambob808 bro, just don't ride stranger's asses, you on his ass probably made him look in the mirrors instead of the road, probably why he kept going over.
@@acidnine if you have someone on your ass on a road like this you pull over. If they caught you, they're faster, so just check your ego and let them go do their thing.
Riding is not cutting the road like that in almost every single corner without knowing if any other cars or bikes are coming from the other side and putting in a risk people's life Edit : Only do that when you're racing in a racetrack or in a closed road but never in public roads, that's dangerous
it feels like the rider we are watching from doesnt know that the goldwing can see further ahead than he can, when he crossed the lines he could more than likely see round the corner and onto the straight
If you could see he was having trouble negotiating the curves, why did you continue to follow so closely? If I were the one following, I would have found a spot to pull over, stretch my legs, and let the Goldwing get well ahead of me and no longer be a threat to me.

@@artlost85 If you are behind another vehicle, it is YOUR responsibility to maintain a safe distance. Also if you are being tailgated by another motorcycle, it doesn't mean he's more skilled.

@@nfaguade The curtious and safest thing to do is let the guy that's faster pass. Whatever else you say, that's still the case. There is a reason people pull over to let bikes pass. Who says what is safe? We know at least one guy here is breaking the law.
A little trick I picked up being a truck driver is, when you find someone in front of you not letting you pass, not maintaining their speed, ect. The best thing to do, is pull over, stretch your legs, send a text or two, and then get back at it. Ride safe brother. Rubber side down 🤙🤙
That just looks like a rider who knows what he's doing. As long as he isn't endangering you (which you yourself were doing by tailgating his ass) or anyone else just leave him alone
Jeez, you guys would never go out on a bike in the UK if that worries you. The guy was using the whole road, he had plenty of forward view, good conditions and what looks like decent road. At no point did I think him particularly dangerous.
Okay…I watched the video. I have a valuable piece of advise for you. “Ride your own ride”. The guy on the Goldwing was doing just fine. I suggest you concentrate on your riding and not someone else’s.
doing fine? he was crossing the line on close turns, we get mad when a car so slightly gets in our lane. So don’t get mad the next time someone cuts you off and mind your own ride/drive…
Are you kidding Roger? This rider was a menace to himself and others. He was all over the road and never once did he maintain a proper line through a curve. It’s only a matter of time before he kills himself or an innocent person doing idiotic stunts like that.
Skilled because of the heavy bike? Skilled because of his age? Skilled because of his line selection in the lane? I fail to see what you mean by skilled.
@@raifparker3990 In order for you to be truthful with your statement, you would have to possess the ability to read minds. You'd have to know my entire life history, everything I've done, every place I've been, my age, my experience, where I grew up, and a lot more.

I have often experienced exactly such situations. But when I feel that my random leader is feeling pressured, and I don't even know him, I just stay back. Who of you does not know this feeling? Like: ... there's someone behind you, watching the way you drive and putting somehow pressure on you, albeit perhaps unintentionally. ... Just pull over, have a smoke, or check your oil level. No matter what, never try to put that pressure on people driving in front of you.
I was waiting to see the idiot part. It never came, but I did hear a whiny little wuss claiming it was there. The guy looked competent and familiar with his bike to me.
@@Comrade_Chloe PASSING someone is what's dangerous, you have to speed up significantly AND you're stuck in the oncoming lane for at least the time it takes to get around someone. Merely crossing the line briefly well in advance of the blind spot, not so much. And because he seems familiar with the road, he might be a local himself.
Nah man, the guy on the bagger can ride, when you said idiot I was waiting for him to crash at the end but instead he picked a nice line to overtake that cruiser at the end 👌
Luv ya. There's some new trend spreading out among bikers that surprise me a lot. They're just love being too safe. If I wanted to be safe I'd have bought a car.
In the UK it's pretty normal to see folks using the whole road when you can see clearly, Tobe fair dude was just throwing his wing about like a much smaller bike actually mildly impressive.
I'm 34 and have been riding since I was 11 years old. I have owned and ridden a large spectrum of bikes so watching a large +400kg bike holding a admirable pace through the twisties with no overzealous entries into corners and pulling on the following bike out of every bend. That rider is skilled. Following bike needs to focus on themselves not others
Say what you want.... That is a very good friend of mine and one of the best riders I know. He goes through 3 sets of tires a year and rides about 200 miles every day the weather is decent.
I watched with eyes up as I am sure he did. I struggled to see any dangerous riding. He did hustle more than I would have when riding quickly without a cushion for safe braking and better line of sight in right hand corners. On the left corners he never crossed over without clear line of sight. Smooth riding on a large bike. I've had one since 2005. I've also hustled the 90's Venture Royale's and a 93 Kaw tourer through the twisties. Have crossed only when I could see and pose no threat to anyone.
should have been able to do it without cross the other side if he is as good as you say he is. A Goldwing can be ridden like a sports bike. Guess he needs to take it out when the weather is not decent to really get his skills up.
He wasn't having trouble at all, I have had multiple Goldwings, this guy knows how to ride his bike. He never cut across the center line when he couldn't see oncoming traffic, I'll do the same thing on a familiar road.
Exactly…..he see’s oncoming traffic before the camera man see’s the opposite side he rode very well in my eyes. Camera man kinda jealous he couldn’t beat a gold wing
@@fleetwood7941 I'm on my second Goldwing now, and I ride it the same way I rode my Victory, my ZX-6R, and all 6 bikes that came before that. People don't realize what they can actually do, while also being comfortable for 200+ miles with 300lbs of gear on a trailer in the back. My buddy wants me to a buy a $20k Harley, but I paid $3500 for mine and he's always the first to call for a pitstop on long rides.
Crossing lines isn't my thing but this lad can clearly ride. I'd like to think I'm the person that can sit behind him and enjoy his skill rather than picking out things I'd do different.
In Sweden they literally teach you to drive in that way when you take your license (in a less aggressive manner obviously), hold on the outside of the corner to get maximum visibility and IF there is no oncoming traffic you take the corner in as straight a line as possible, even crossing the line. I don't like to drive like that so I had to learn it to pass the course and then unlearn it after I got my license. I'm way more bothered by you chasing up to his tail every corner and then breaking hard like you are unable to judge speed.
Been a biker for 48 years, and a GoldWing rider for the last 40 years, only thing wrong with that video, was Teambob should have been paying more attention to his own riding, than the bike in front.
Count the number of right corners he enters narrow. Count the number of left corners he enters opposite lane. Count the amount of time he rides on yellow line
You just say that because you're also a GW rider. I think when you're basically a car on 2 wheels you should use the mirrors and give in to the fact you're slow through the corners. This GW rider saw what was behind him and didn't want to be overtaken by a small supermoto. So he started taking risk on braking and cornnering to stay in front. He even floored it on that straight after they passed the car just to get ahead enough to be a roadblock in the corner again. It's not just the riding that was the issue for the supermoto I think. I guess the GW could've benefited if he chose to follow the supermoto. Always good to have someone thats quick in the corners in front of you. Still good to pay attention of the riding from everyone around you actually.
Nah man he was being a prick and intentionally cutting him off. You know Goldie sees him in his mirrors. Goldwing is having a hard time making it through these bends. He knew the guy behind him wanted around and was just being an obstinate asshole. I find it funny how everyone in this comment section is acting like the Goldwing is just a good Samaritan, sharing the road and obeying the rules of the road. WTF HE LITERALLY REFUSES TO STAY IN HIS OWN LANE? "You meet the nicest people on a Honda"
@@waynewalters426 Rubbish, as a rider of high powered bikes for 50 years, I can tell you that the Wing rider was the better rider by a country mile, if he wasn't that land barge wing would have been saying hello to the trees.....
@@MickH60 In my experience the people who drive literbikes only aren't usually the fastest in the corners nor do they know how to make use of all the bikes has to offer. So no idea what that arguments adds to this discussion. How can you tell the GW driver is so much better though? The supermoto wasn't even pushing or showing anything. He was just complaining and following. The GW was using all kinds of tricks to stay ahead yes but he also made a lot of mistakes and took a lot more risks. He kissed that yellow line a lot of times for example.
Typical liberalis ..for sure.. never do their own work (never ovvn a job). allways put out inner childish on every commentary (blame others for zero corelations). THESE VIDPOST HAD BEEN PUSHED PUBLICLY DANG3ROUS ACTIVITIES , RIDE UR OWN p 🏚u 🏚n🏚 k
I completely agree. Counter steer across the dividing line and cut the apex. You get a better lean angle and more corner visibility. Plus you're ready to take the corner safely if anything is oncoming.
If you can see there are no oncoming cars and there are plenty of safety margins, what's the problem? The Goldwing had a nice rhythm, good line selection for the most part, was trail braking... I'd ride with him/her any day!
I don't. Why take the risk? To me, doing that, especially on a road like the Dragon, is like cheating. It's more challenging to stay safely in the lane. That and passing that guy like that was reckless.
@@AJTStuff no risk what so ever, he had clear view of the road ahead and plenty of time to get back into his lane if need be... some people just like to disagree and that's their right....
@@AJTStuff Interesting. Well all I'll say is, if you ever get passed by someone or someone pisses you off, don't judge them too harshly because it's probably something that a responsible/good/safe rider would do. Just make sure you wave through other riders behind you in the twisties. Oh and, that pass was very safe... no oncoming traffic, it was a fast/decisive move. I do that too.
This isn't an idiot at all to me. Even if I would not cross so often the middle-line. This is the first guy, who realy shows, how to drive a Goldwing and what is possible wiht this motobike. Respect!!! Maybe, your problem was, that you could'nt pass him?
The sheer grunt of that big goldie rounding up slow critters, eating miles with smiles. Yeah, yeah, he crossed the holy double lines, but only when he had a good clear view . The sound of your toy was just annoying.
I had several advanced riding courses when I lived in the UK. The teachers were all motorcycle policemen and they REALLY knew a thing or two about two wheels. One of them said that a lot we had been taught to comply with Highway Code riding techniques had to be unlearnt. They taught us defensive riding, straight lining a roundabout (when it was safe) and a lot more that would otherwise have seen us fail on our 'normal' riding tests. Much of what we were taught is something I still use now that I live in the USA.
Just an old man on a goldwing.... He was a pretty decent Rider... And like most has a little bit of a problem making right turns.... When you get behind a good Rider on the twisties you'll. Never see a brake light.... And you'll probably panic being in the wrong position to take that corner, or apply brakes.... !!!
Uh no one really "overtakes" here. It's usually busy. Unless someone waves us to pass but even then people rarely do it. The pull offs are used instead and there's many. As you saw the car use one.
@@J.Arnold this area particular frowns on this behavior because it's usually very busy and a lot of newbies show up and wreck. Me personally would fly through it but I'm an idiot. This guy didn't even try to pass him because clearly he thinks double yellow is dangerous and against the law. Which is why he made the video. Showing an idiot. Sorry you missed the point of the video. You don't have to agree with it but that's what is happening. Lol
The Gold Wing rider seemed to be doing fine. He was pushing it quite hard though, having to cross lanes, because you were on his tail. Maybe he was trying to outrun you or maybe he didn’t want to hold you up. If I was him I’d have let you pass; if I was you I would’ve let him go. This is why I never ride in a group except close friends.
Even with close friends it only takes one to do something stupid. Me and my friend were coming back out of the mountains here in Idaho 3 cars a head I was about to switch lanes to pass when stupid friend had decided to pass me and the 3 cars if I had not of looked in mirror, I'd have wiped him off the road and myself.
@@jeffsmith8449 Yep, I also check the mirror before pulling out (call me boring, but I was taught to do a “lifesaver” half-head-turn as well, to cover the blind spot.) Trusting nobody is a good rule of thumb!
I’m first to admit I know little about technique, help me out. What did the rider do that one would consider him an idiot. Been learning since 1967 and still need to be schooled.
I would not say that it was safe riding. He was keep cutting to the other side of the lane and hardly control Goldie at curves. But this lad tailing him was worst 😂😂
That guy is one experienced rider to be handling, braking, and accelerating on those corners and stretches while keeping in his lane on that dangerous stretch. Guy was following me one time like this and it freaked me out he was so close I had trouble braking. Don’t Follow People Like This, just ease off or pass when it’s safe to do so. Never know what’s around the corner…
@@conorSullivan50 Goldwing can't make the turns and has to cross a double line (possibly into oncoming traffic) with every bend, all because he wont share the road with a bike that has superior handling and speed. Makes sense to me.
@@waynewalters426 Fucking hell you people come up with some shit !!!! That gold wing rider would put most of the twits commenting here to shame on any bike, the guy could clearly ride and used lines that kept that wing on the road, his lines and riding was smooth.... I terrifies me to think how you lot ride....
He’d show more skill by keeping within his side of the road. If someone like him was coming the opposite direction, well, that’s how these idiots end up in the ditches, or smash into the side of a car and have their foot ripped off. It’s reckless and stupid.
I have a 2015 Fatboy, and I just enjoy riding the way I feel comfortable with. I could careless how far up ahead you are, because, sooner or later, where I'm riding to, will still be there when I get there. I congratulate anyone on riding those curves like that, but' it's not my thing, especially when I don't know the area. I'm 57 years old now, I have absolutely nothing to prove to no one.
Used to do this in a 2013 Caprice PPV in Chattahoochee National Forest on a road that went 20-30 miles to the Tennessee Border, hustling that big sucker on a seemingly endless succession of hairpin curves using the entire road and running that L76 in 1st-3rd gear except a few long straights in the bottoms where I wacked 140-150. Always wished I could've bought a '14-'15 Z/28 and take it up there pushing just as hard.
He crossed lines only where he had a clear view ahead and did nothing dangerous. A cop would write him up for something to do but nothing more. All I saw was a well ridden ‘Wing and a head shaking, self-righteous doing little more than keep the right side of the yellow lines.
In the woods there is no such thing as a clear view. And for some reason it's a f**kin double line. Just imagine a sport bike rider going relaxed 100+ mph staying on his lane... That's some poor riding shown by this Winger.
You were following, I'd say he was driving safely ( I'm no expert like you) didn't se him push until the end of the vid. Was it too dangerous or couldn't you keep up with a Wing?
How do you know he wasn't getting edgy because you were riding him. Just back up and let him go. It's not like he's hanging around and holding anyone up either. It's far more dangerous (for both of you) to follow him shaking your head all the time, when you should be focusing on what you are doing.
By far the most appropriate comment . I'm old enough and wise enough to wave anyone past who wants to tailgate me . I even used to do it when I had a GSXR 1100 . I'll ride at my speed thanks very much .
Why would you follow so closely behind the guy? Give him some room. You are supposed to be riding defensively. If he laid his bike down, you would have been right on top of him.
"Karen/Ken" doesn't realize that the bike in front of him is much heavier. Therefore, it handles much differently than the duo-sport he's riding. The bagger was still in front of him though.
Been riding over 50 years and Deals Gap many times. It's not about what you ride but how you ride. Any crossing of a double line in any corner means you are not riding in control of whatever it is you are riding.
Rubbish. Ever been to the track ?, ever seen a race bike stay on one side of the track ? That guy knew exactly what he was doing, he crossed the line because he WAS IN CONTROL.....I've been riding for 50 years too ....
@@MickH60 Yes, I've been on many tracks and raced many years. On a track, which is a closed course, that is what you do. There are no double yellow lines and track rules are not the same as public traffic rules and everyone is going in the same direction. When you willing break traffic laws you are no longer in control and if caught doing so a judge will remind you of that. If you are actually trying to infer that track rules apply to a public roadway you should give up your license as you have zero common sense.
A video perfectly showing a good rider vs a bad rider The good rider takes the turns, is confident in their ability and uses the road safely The bad rider thinks they know better, tailgates other bikers and is clearly ignorant
@@luettenkleiner8925 Nope, we all watched the same video. I saw a guy tailgating another rider WAY too close while getting upset every time the guy got a little close to the white INSIDE lines (for some strange reason) and also upset at the guy for straightening the road out when it was obvious he could see it was clear and safe to do so. I really didn't see anything dangerous at all in this video except for the tailgating. It is as if the rear driver thought the front driver had his view at the times he was crossing the double yellow and I think that is exactly what the rear rider thought.
@@suburbanhobbyist2752 if you cross a double yellow on our mountain pass you aren’t aloud back. If you see someone faster then you let them pass in a safe zone. The rider in front is clearly just in over his head thinking he is invincible till someone doing a pass the other way comes zooming around a corner and smokes him
@@GPOLICE trust me i know , i have a cbr954 a m109r and yes i have a goldwing. My point you are missing is this guy is talking about how bad this guy is yet is on his ass and could have contributed to a accident ,btw the goldwing ridrr was clearly out of his own zone.
Over 250 thousand miles of riding experience here: Every time you cross the center line, you are gambling with your life. How lucky are you feeling today?
I see many of you are confused by the title “Goldwing idiot”. The title is in reference to the guy with the camera not understanding the capabilities of a Goldwing or the skill of the rider or how to look through a corner to see if crossing the yellow is a safe option for a better line in a corner. The title had nothing to do with the person on the actual Goldwing. It was referencing the idiot crowding him.
One of my bikes is an '89 Goldwing. She leans pretty well, since I got rid of the dam running boards! I don't think I'd be ripping twisty roads with her. That's what an Interceptor or Pacific Coast is for. But hey, he was nailing it pretty good.
Are you a priest? Never crossed a double line? That man drives the perfect line and takes incoming traffic into account. There's really nothing wrong with that. It is also and still my driving style... since more than fifty years ago despite the increased traffic, but with respect for other road users and the momentum and environment where I drive! In your place, I would just keep my distance and let the man do his thing... which is what I have been doing for over FIFTY years now, I let him have his fun, that is respect among motorcyclists.
Where is the idiot? I find it rather admirable that the Goldwinger and his colossus have stayed on the road. The street was clear, he didn't endanger anyone and no cop saw it! Anyone can drive behind and complain.
The "idiot" reference was probably referencing the Wing rider not staying in his lane, cutting the curves too close to the pavement edge, and riding on the tar snakes and painted stripes. Other than that, the Winger was doing ok. The pov guy was justified in his remark and was NOT followong too closely. Slippery surfaces don't care how much experience a rider has. Going down on the tail of the dragon will not end well. Be smart.
I think watching these videos is a good wake-up call / education to a lot of motorcyclists. I drove the dragon one time years ago in my car & no intention of returning on my bike after seeing how overcrowded it is on weekends with some using it as a racetrack & some just dangerous ly incompetent drivers/riders. Not worth the visit after it became a popular novelty.
What an absurd way to make a fool of yourself with this comment, it shows that you are one of those who has just bought a motorcycle and you intend to give lessons to people who, like this Goldwing rider with experience and good driving as shown here, give you a bang. Less critical, and be relevant for something productive, savvy.
If he's such an idiot. Why were you trying to keep up with him... Come ride with me and my boys... You wouldn't make it through the 1st ride. He was confident with his skills and his bike. He rode his ride and he didn't over ride his bike. Good job to Goldwing dude.
The GW was riding faster than normal and cutting corners with visibility of incoming traffic. I see the rider behind getting frustrated and in no way, he would have been able to safely pass during turns in single lane unless the GW would have to slow down and let him pass. The rider behind just needed to be patient and wait for an opportunity in straight lane to pass him. Tailgating has its limits, and this is one of them. Lesson learned.
I saw two dangerous riders, the Goldwing and you! You were riding too close and I suspect pushing the Goldwing to ride a little faster than was comfortable. Your safe options were to overtake or pull back and give the Goldwing some space.
Was it because you couldn't keep up with poppy on a GL? He was having a great time and rode really well, I have had a similar time chasing Gold Wings, They can really go hard.. He also did not risk too much when he went over the double lines, had clear vision and didn't hang around..Surprise!!!

The most important thing to take away from the video is ride at your own pace, to hell with tail gate vehicles.
To be fair the guy riding the wing was riding to a very high standard, very smooth and progressive,the guy videoing this however was not.
never tailgate another rider. it's one of the most uncool things a rider can do

doing fine? he was crossing the line on close turns, we get mad when a car so slightly gets in our lane. So don’t get mad the next time someone cuts you off and mind your own ride/drive…
Crossing lanes is no joke on the dragon. If oncoming vehicles are speeding too you all could die.
FFS you were probably pressurising this this guy to go faster.
Are you kidding Roger? This rider was a menace to himself and others. He was all over the road and never once did he maintain a proper line through a curve. It’s only a matter of time before he kills himself or an innocent person doing idiotic stunts like that.

i do this with good visibility with my dyna, big bikes...need bigger roads
I'm 34 and have been riding since I was 11 years old. I have owned and ridden a large spectrum of bikes so watching a large +400kg bike holding a admirable pace through the twisties with no overzealous entries into corners and pulling on the following bike out of every bend. That rider is skilled. Following bike needs to focus on themselves not others
How could you not notice?
Say what you want.... That is a very good friend of mine and one of the best riders I know. He goes through 3 sets of tires a year and rides about 200 miles every day the weather is decent.
I watched with eyes up as I am sure he did. I struggled to see any dangerous riding. He did hustle more than I would have when riding quickly without a cushion for safe braking and better line of sight in right hand corners. On the left corners he never crossed over without clear line of sight. Smooth riding on a large bike. I've had one since 2005. I've also hustled the 90's Venture Royale's and a 93 Kaw tourer through the twisties. Have crossed only when I could see and pose no threat to anyone.
should have been able to do it without cross the other side if he is as good as you say he is. A Goldwing can be ridden like a sports bike. Guess he needs to take it out when the weather is not decent to really get his skills up.
@@DaBinChe good visibility and experience helps you to cut a better path. Feel free to stay in your own lane though.
It looked like he knew the road really well.
@@DaBinChe You pay your road tax, you can use all the road.
He wasn't having trouble at all, I have had multiple Goldwings, this guy knows how to ride his bike. He never cut across the center line when he couldn't see oncoming traffic, I'll do the same thing on a familiar road.
Exactly…..he see’s oncoming traffic before the camera man see’s the opposite side he rode very well in my eyes. Camera man kinda jealous he couldn’t beat a gold wing
@@fleetwood7941 I'm on my second Goldwing now, and I ride it the same way I rode my Victory, my ZX-6R, and all 6 bikes that came before that.

My buddy wants me to a buy a $20k Harley, but I paid $3500 for mine and he's always the first to call for a pitstop on long rides.
i saw a different video i guess ...he was allover both lanes
thank god im not the only one that seen he was taking the straight lines and using the road if he could see well ahead.
@@davidjones-vx9ju he's allowed to be, did you see him cross when there was oncoming traffic?
Crossing lines isn't my thing but this lad can clearly ride. I'd like to think I'm the person that can sit behind him and enjoy his skill rather than picking out things I'd do different.
You're easy pleased.
In Sweden they literally teach you to drive in that way when you take your license (in a less aggressive manner obviously), hold on the outside of the corner to get maximum visibility and IF there is no oncoming traffic you take the corner in as straight a line as possible, even crossing the line. I don't like to drive like that so I had to learn it to pass the course and then unlearn it after I got my license.
I'm way more bothered by you chasing up to his tail every corner and then breaking hard like you are unable to judge speed.
It actually looked pretty smooth to me. Only crossed the yellow line when he had a good view. Smooth is usually safe and fast.
Of course, i use to do the same, why take unnecessary risks.
He's whining cause a 'Wing dusted his ass.

Been a biker for 48 years, and a GoldWing rider for the last 40 years, only thing wrong with that video, was Teambob should have been paying more attention to his own riding, than the bike in front.
Count the number of right corners he enters narrow. Count the number of left corners he enters opposite lane. Count the amount of time he rides on yellow line
I think it's time for you to retire from riding if that's the only thing you saw wrong!
Ouch ! Naughty rider having a ball...
Deport now !
Team bob?
Teams are pointless, be like yoko uno
You just say that because you're also a GW rider. I think when you're basically a car on 2 wheels you should use the mirrors and give in to the fact you're slow through the corners. This GW rider saw what was behind him and didn't want to be overtaken by a small supermoto. So he started taking risk on braking and cornnering to stay in front. He even floored it on that straight after they passed the car just to get ahead enough to be a roadblock in the corner again. It's not just the riding that was the issue for the supermoto I think. I guess the GW could've benefited if he chose to follow the supermoto. Always good to have someone thats quick in the corners in front of you.
Still good to pay attention of the riding from everyone around you actually.
He was riding a Goldwing and he still outdid you! 😆
Nah man he was being a prick and intentionally cutting him off. You know Goldie sees him in his mirrors. Goldwing is having a hard time making it through these bends. He knew the guy behind him wanted around and was just being an obstinate asshole.

How can you tell the GW driver is so much better though? The supermoto wasn't even pushing or showing anything. He was just complaining and following.

Looks like he is riding the heck out of it to me! When you can see ahead that's how you straighten out the curve.
GW guy was blocking him like a twat. No cycle brotherhood.
I completely agree. Counter steer across the dividing line and cut the apex. You get a better lean angle and more corner visibility. Plus you're ready to take the corner safely if anything is oncoming.
If you can see there are no oncoming cars and there are plenty of safety margins, what's the problem?
The Goldwing had a nice rhythm, good line selection for the most part, was trail braking... I'd ride with him/her any day!
I'm with you bro didn't see anything that was that bad except maybe crossing double yellow couple times but helll who don't
I don't. Why take the risk? To me, doing that, especially on a road like the Dragon, is like cheating. It's more challenging to stay safely in the lane. That and passing that guy like that was reckless.
@@AJTStuff no risk what so ever, he had clear view of the road ahead and plenty of time to get back into his lane if need be... some people just like to disagree and that's their right....
@@AJTStuff Interesting. Well all I'll say is, if you ever get passed by someone or someone pisses you off, don't judge them too harshly because it's probably something that a responsible/good/safe rider would do. Just make sure you wave through other riders behind you in the twisties.
Oh and, that pass was very safe... no oncoming traffic, it was a fast/decisive move. I do that too.
@@AJTStuff There was NO risk at all with how he was riding. ZERO risk. If anything, his techinque was SAFER than what you are proposing.

You call double corners in the woods a clear view? How did you get that old with that point of view?
I had several advanced riding courses when I lived in the UK. The teachers were all motorcycle policemen and they REALLY knew a thing or two about two wheels. One of them said that a lot we had been taught to comply with Highway Code riding techniques had to be unlearnt.
They taught us defensive riding, straight lining a roundabout (when it was safe) and a lot more that would otherwise have seen us fail on our 'normal' riding tests.
Much of what we were taught is something I still use now that I live in the USA.

The Gold Wing rider seemed to be doing fine. He was pushing it quite hard though, having to cross lanes, because you were on his tail. Maybe he was trying to outrun you or maybe he didn’t want to hold you up. If I was him I’d have let you pass; if I was you I would’ve let him go. This is why I never ride in a group except close friends.
Even with close friends it only takes one to do something stupid. Me and my friend were coming back out of the mountains here in Idaho 3 cars a head I was about to switch lanes to pass when stupid friend had decided to pass me and the 3 cars if I had not of looked in mirror, I'd have wiped him off the road and myself.

I have a 2015 Fatboy, and I just enjoy riding the way I feel comfortable with. I could careless how far up ahead you are, because, sooner or later, where I'm riding to, will still be there when I get there. I congratulate anyone on riding those curves like that, but' it's not my thing, especially when I don't know the area. I'm 57 years old now, I have absolutely nothing to prove to no one.
Used to do this in a 2013 Caprice PPV in Chattahoochee National Forest on a road that went 20-30 miles to the Tennessee Border, hustling that big sucker on a seemingly endless succession of hairpin curves using the entire road and running that L76 in 1st-3rd gear except a few long straights in the bottoms where I wacked 140-150. Always wished I could've bought a '14-'15 Z/28 and take it up there pushing just as hard.
He crossed lines only where he had a clear view ahead and did nothing dangerous. A cop would write him up for something to do but nothing more. All I saw was a well ridden ‘Wing and a head shaking, self-righteous doing little more than keep the right side of the yellow lines.
In the woods there is no such thing as a clear view. And for some reason it's a f**kin double line. Just imagine a sport bike rider going relaxed 100+ mph staying on his lane...

I see many of you are confused by the title “Goldwing idiot”. The title is in reference to the guy with the camera not understanding the capabilities of a Goldwing or the skill of the rider or how to look through a corner to see if crossing the yellow is a safe option for a better line in a corner. The title had nothing to do with the person on the actual Goldwing. It was referencing the idiot crowding him.
One of my bikes is an '89 Goldwing. She leans pretty well, since I got rid of the dam running boards! I don't think I'd be ripping twisty roads with her. That's what an Interceptor or Pacific Coast is for.
But hey, he was nailing it pretty good.

The idiot is the whining TH-camr itself riding the dual sport.
The "idiot" reference was probably referencing the Wing rider not staying in his lane, cutting the curves too close to the pavement edge, and riding on the tar snakes and painted stripes. Other than that, the Winger was doing ok. The pov guy was justified in his remark and was NOT followong too closely. Slippery surfaces don't care how much experience a rider has. Going down on the tail of the dragon will not end well. Be smart.
The voice of reason at last!
Most of these pelicans can't see that!
I think watching these videos is a good wake-up call / education to a lot of motorcyclists. I drove the dragon one time years ago in my car & no intention of returning on my bike after seeing how overcrowded it is on weekends with some using it as a racetrack & some just dangerous ly incompetent drivers/riders. Not worth the visit after it became a popular novelty.
If you do happen to return to that area.. go to the dragon early or late mid week.. much better roads about 20 mins away
I hope the camera guy is perfect in everyway!

one of those who has just bought a motorcycle and you intend to give lessons to people who, like this Goldwing rider with experience and good driving as shown here, give you a bang. Less critical, and be relevant for something productive, savvy.
Only a few can claim more thumbs down than up. Well done! 👍
Im sure most of the thumbs down are placed for the OP Karens post and not the Goldwing rider....
I disliked your comment to help you Claim that title too ❤
It's afraud!
The video is being manipulated,you surely can't believe that!
You're easy fooled!
What happens if another turkey coming in the opposite direction has the same style as your good buddy here??
Finding fault with others is now a national pastime. Curious were you trying to put pressure on him?
If he's such an idiot. Why were you trying to keep up with him... Come ride with me and my boys... You wouldn't make it through the 1st ride. He was confident with his skills and his bike. He rode his ride and he didn't over ride his bike. Good job to Goldwing dude.
I dont think he was doing anything wrong...He was riding the Hell out of his Bike...I ride like that sometimes when i am alone when i feel like it👍😎
were did he get is licence that guy
The GW was riding faster than normal and cutting corners with visibility of incoming traffic. I see the rider behind getting frustrated and in no way, he would have been able to safely pass during turns in single lane unless the GW would have to slow down and let him pass. The rider behind just needed to be patient and wait for an opportunity in straight lane to pass him. Tailgating has its limits, and this is one of them. Lesson learned.
😀😀😀😀Goldwing pulling away like a freight train, oooh yeah😎
Looks like he was driving a piss out of it I don’t understand the idiot comment
I just see a biker enjoying himself. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Imagine of your highways were infested with these Yahoo's.not a good place to be!
He spent enough time on the double yellow, I'm surprised he never broke contact...
Not sure why you're calling him an idiot, he looked like he was holding his own especially on such a non nimble bike!!!
I saw two dangerous riders, the Goldwing and you! You were riding too close and I suspect pushing the Goldwing to ride a little faster than was comfortable. Your safe options were to overtake or pull back and give the Goldwing some space.
Was it because you couldn't keep up with poppy on a GL? He was having a great time and rode really well, I have had a similar time chasing Gold Wings, They can really go hard.. He also did not risk too much when he went over the double lines, had clear vision and didn't hang around..Surprise!!!
Roads like this on the east coast of Australia usually have wet patches,this person would be very lucky to survive those roads.
The wing rider was a true pro.
Pro what??
