61 degree lean 3:25 WICKED!
I'm certain it is 53°. I paused the video and analyzed frame by frame. If I could add a picture to the comments I would.
@@johnschnupp2351 it literally shows lean angle on the dash.. how did you come up with 53?
@@FireBladeFedy I think he's looking at the speed...not lean angle...
I saw 60°, but I can't do frame by frame. Yeah, that WAS wicked!!!
I also noticed (I think so anyway) in his rear view camera angle it looks like he smoked the tire coming off a couple of those corners. I'm pretty sure I saw his buddy ride through some smoke coming off a couple.
You got more balls than me buddy! FUN to watch though!! Thanks for sharing.
9:53 was wicked
I’ve ridden The Dragon hundreds of times and, while this is very impressive, the reason I prefer riding other roads in the area is because of “impressive” riders. It’s too bad there isn’t a weekend when the road is shut down to allow an event where this type of riding could be done - I’d pay as a spectator to watch. Plus, using drones, a live broadcast could add value. Instead of the The Isle of Man, maybe The Man in the Mountains? That said, I’ve met women Dragon Slayers I sure couldn’t keep up with . . .
Happens when you get older...
@@uradragon Yes, you get wiser, much wise.
Due to government over-regulation, you couldn't even film it with a 1 oz tiny whoop (well, most places in the US its illegal to fly even in your own backyard inches off the ground, but the FAA has additional restrictions on filming events like that, which ironically lead to only "professionals" with extremely huge, heavy, and dangerous flying camera equipment where even a danger for spectators because those props will happily take an arm off let alone a jugular. Feels safer though right?)
My wife and I were just up there for Miatas at the Gap and we were saying that. There should TOTALLY be a Dragon hill climb. From the motorcycle resort to the overlook, then cool-down down to the boat ramp.
This is a great idea
Plus 20 seconds for Exceeded Track Limits....no going over the yellow!
Yup, no double yellow. Bad juju.
@@TheQwik512 agreed.
@@TheQwik512 dude will never NOT go over the double yellow lines. It doesn’t matter when or where he is, he’s always using both lanes and that’s dumb as hell. It’s not like it’s an actual closed road. I absolutely hate everyone that crosses over the double yellow on purpose, if it’s an honest mistake/accident, then can’t really get THAT mad about it but purposely doing it is an asshole move
Yup yup
Dude he isnt pass the yellow lines... Maybe some times just be on them but he doesn't pass on the other side...
I came here specifically to mention how well he did at staying on his side! No cutting the switchbacks, no endangering other drivers, no doing any of the stupid shit other bikes do on here constantly... the only time his tires crossed the centerline was on a couple of fairly straight sections.
Nice job MaxWrist!!! That was FUN to watch!!
Crossed the yellow 3 times in the first minute. Mirror and head across the yellow line multiple times. Won’t be surprised when he dies on the road but I will laugh.
@@idlehandsworkshop well... he did better than just about anyone else I watched doing that run. Most folks are apexing on the opposite fog line, blind corners and all.
It's all relative.
@@idlehandsworkshop You will laugh. You are sick.
@@idlehandsworkshop "Won’t be surprised when he dies on the road but I will laugh", you are a special person to be so flippant about another human who shares a common passion. Really, makes me sad for humanity.
@@idlehandsworkshop you're a blatant waste of carbon
And the worker of the month is your bike's traction control.
Awesome riding, bro!
I've done some track days and it was nice getting to know every turn. I couldn't imagine going that fast on the open road. I know he's done this a few times but you will never know what's around the next corner until you get there.
hE,D ABSOLUTELY SHIT IF A SQUIRREL RAN OUT..
a great video,,,,i wish i could ride that well,,,,but even if i could i would not go after it,,,,good opportunity to round a corner to meet a john deere combine with header on, too wide, and you wind up in tractors nuts. Not today, but your time will come as it does all others who insist on continuing. Best to call it quits soon and be happy you got away with reality for this long,,,,
It’s only a matter of time…tick tick tick
Not on the Dragon, but not too far from there I had to come to a complete stop twice for black bear standing broadside on the road and had deer jump out at least 4 times. All in the summer of 2023....it's when, not if an animal gets in your way.
MaxWrist has honestly improved so much. Much smoother and harder on the brakes! Dude is at his 95%. Some credit goes to Antprilia for sure.
He definitely made him a stronger rider, Ant is still the corner king..he is crazy talented
A clown
Has crashed so many times and had big luck to still be able to walk , right now seems a good rider but took him too many bikes and crashes , he could have started taking courses on a track and practice there instead of street where you put in danger even the other
@@Sickling3don’t talk about yourself like that bro we love you stay safe
@@hardscope7744 im not a pedo though.
Not to fanboy out, but GOTDAYUM!!! I've watched several of your videos, and your riding is nothing short of impressive. I've done the Dragon a time or three, but I will NEVER be at this skill level. I don't even want to be at my ripe age of 49 - but I can live vicariously through you guys. I love to see skilled STREET riders. I feel like getting on the throttle at the track affords you a certain level of comfort and security, but being able to do this on the Dragon speaks to just how confident you are in your bike, and your skill level. I'd love to sit back behind you and just watch your lines, but I wouldn't be able to keep up to do so, so I'll just keep watching you and AntPrilia get nasty on the Dragon. Keep up the great content, and keep inspiring other riders to practice practice practice and get better! 👍🏾
Congrats! You're killing the game!👏
Congrats AntAprilia...this bike are a Monster 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤩
I think you know that road by heart. Well done criminal. Great video!
Fantastic Riding, Safe, accurate and very smooth. Heard those pucks a couple times 🙂
Nice run! You know every dip, hump, road patch, crack and turn on that road, and no traffic to slow you down... heck yeah! Cheers!
Great to see Max being more disciplined on top speed, and certainly smoother on the inputs. Guess he's worn out enough leathers for now... bravo Max.
Wild. Deep on both sides. 👏
Catching up on video man your getting super fast YAY YAY KTG 🔥🔥🔥
Killin the game!! 🔥🔥💪💪
Fantastic lane discipline.
I know you wanted to carve those apexes, but you stayed safe AND fast!
Hella skillz dude. GREAT video!
Stay safe!
You call this safe? You both need to be locked up.
@pcmountaindog
Okay, so, what do you believe wasn't safe about this?
Know what's not safe? M0r0ns on 2-wheeled trucks trying to ride this at any speed over 25 MPH. Want to see some pics? Google "Harley crash Tail of the Dragon."
My fave is the one where the female in shorts and a tank top buffs it, along with her idiot companion.
The saddest one is the idiot taking out a Corvette. The really sad one is a dimwit taking out a fellow Harley rider head-on.
I anxiously await your response....
@@pcmountaindog The whole time watching I was like, oh well it must be closed for all cars somehow and still super dangerous, then I see cars driving literally couple inches next to him and yeah no. No thanks.
Were we watching the same video? He crossed the yellow numerous times.
Sweet ride 🙏😇🔥🦾🤟☝🤘✌👉👉🙏👄💃
For the most part, this is actually an excellent video showing the safest lines around curves as recommended by the NC motorcycle handbook and study guide!
That’s impressive man, congratulations!! That takes some skill and some ballzzz!! I can’t believe you didn’t have any traffic either!! My favorite is the foothills parkway!!
I love this kinda contest with AntMan Aprilia!!!!!!!
You guys were movin 👍🏾👍🏾
😧9:09 on that stretch is crazy. I’m only a fewwww..a lot of seconds behind you guys. Congrats
Holy crap! I driven the Dragon many times (in a car) but you guys are from another planet. Well done!
That was crazy bro 💪
Hey Mark , superb skilled demonstration of champion rider. Loved it. Can you please help me with some practice drill to even dream about such riding , I ride an Aprilia Tuono V4
KTG with consistent improvements!!!!!
Awesome ride! Love 4 u 2 give my son some pointers, we just got Supermotos a few weeks ago and live 30 mins from Dragon…..
Are you running the regular SP V3 Supercorsa's or are you running the SC3 Supercorsa TD's?
SC2 /SC3 V3
Really enjoyed this!
Well done Max...
Your such a farkin champ....
TRUE STORY...
Would love to see some shots of u guys flying by from the side of the road!!
Imagine using the whole road how fast it could be done. Very impressive Max
I had chills/goosebumps the entire 9 min and 9 sec. I can only ride like that in my dreams!
I can ride like that. Once.
@markh you can do it brother just takes time and lots of practice
The great max king of challenges 😎😎😎😎
I did mine in the middle of a Saddle Soar 1000 lol. I was on a 2012 HD Ultra Limted. It was a great time. Do they ever close the road for time trials?
These months of Dragon content have been amazing. Still gutted that the R1 burnt to death 😢 Would be awesome to hear that CP4 engine doing Dragon runs. Hope you get one again someday 🤞
Good job Max!!! I wish we had lesser traffic on our road so we could push it those extremes too😔
I need to go through there again during whatever day or time you went. Drove the Dragon today and ran into a bit too much traffic.
Is the yellow flashing light on the dash for traction control?
Bike sounds so good!
That was one helluva run!! Your vision is so good and reactions are so quick, that was really fun to watch! Your bike goes from 60 to 100 so fast its ridiculous!
awesome to watch 'n enjoyed the ride, cheers
That’s some badass riding right there
What tires and initial pressures if you remember were you running?
Badass! Did you have any spotters to make sure 4 wheel traffic wasn't an issue?
Hey Max where did you get your gloves from I'm trying too get some?
Fun to watch. Fearless.
Really putting that traction control to work.
That was a great ride!! But I had to wait until the very end to see what you’re riding. If I had a 1000 S, I’d start with that! 😊
Wow that’s awesome ! How many times have you done that ?
Damn nice run
Thank's for the run!
Now this. This is talent.
Amazing run. Was just up at Deals Gap today.
I heard the pegs scraping the ground on my second time watching this 🔥
Why no cars? Was it closed one way? What is the date and time of day for this run?
Congratulations
That’s a beautiful sound
Congrats!
New subscriber here! What tire did you use?
Awesome run! I’ve been on the Dragon and will never return. Almost got smacked head on by a Skyline crossing the yellow.
wish i have a bike like this! wicked sick!
Amazing - not many people can scrape something on an S1000rr on a track let along on the road. Glad to see the road was quiet.
Great Rider!
These time trials are next level, feel like I’m playing a video game in real life
Best time for any road is between 930 and 12
Antprilia had Obviously the same time,, same record...❗️❗️❗️💪💪
That was Spectacular... Absolutely Awesome...
@Antprilia May I have the link to your video of this run?
We stay Beasting!!!🔥👊🏽😎
You know it! Riders {on the internet} say they have better time but can't seem to produce a video that clearly shows it. 👊🏻✊🏻💨
FREAKING INSANE
Now someone should take Antpril's Viddy and this One, to make a Mix..? It would be interesting to put some GPS App on a Display too, maybe next time -if possible..? But it's great anyway, congrats.!!
I've seen Maxi crash almost every bike he's ridden (and a Polaris Slingshot)...he was out of control on the Foothills Parkway a few years ago (his own video). THIS portion of Deal's Gap on this video might be his most technically correct, however, and it was great to see Maxi on his side of the road, ha. I am sure 9:09 IS his personal record, but this run cant be compared to running Deals Gap (11 miles) since he started 2 miles in (at the Scenic overlook) and ended at the TN state line (1 1/2 miles short of the Dam (the beginning of the Dragon). Great, fun ride...and by listening to him breathe heavy once off the bike, you can tell a run like this is WORK...great video for us to see. I've been yearly to Deal's Gap for last 18 years and this is a fast run for the 8 miles covered!
Why not bring that bike up to The Ridge Motorsports Park or even Pacific raceway and see what real riding is.
8.7 miles and average of 57mph
holy shit man. i know who and what the dragon is. but i've only seen parts of it. i knew it was crazy but damn son that's nuts. amazing job! was that 2nd gear the entire time. i just started rideing agian a few yrs back (ninja 300). and there are some good roads here (samon falls road, 49, 193 California) but nothing that long and contiguous. stay safe bro
Those lean angles are sick. 55 left, 61 right ! WOW !
How do you see it? On the dash?
@@1683clifton yes bro.
The bottom center of the dash.
In the small half circle.
You're the reason why they're putting speed bumps on this road congratulations
Why the lie??
The riding was impressive, but the lack of traffic… that gets me excited!!! 😰💦
I have to watch you and "Chase the Heat" with Johny Scoville because I like this shit.
Cool. But what about distance? Is it the general 11 miles?
Hey max 5:10 - 5:11 it sounded like you were scraping couple of pieces any idea what it was ?
tf?
Knee sliders.
Good job.
What tires, and tire pressures please?
Why would you ask tyre pressures? To copy?
That would very on rider weight and temperatures 🤦🏻♂️😂
Now with the Traction control off hahaha… don’t mind, excellent ride and bike 😎😎… my next liter bike; now I have a triumph speed triple 1050 RS and it is already a monster
Looks so fun!
wow, what tires and pressure?
This guy is a beast
Beautiful trail braking. 👍
That BMW sounds angry and I love it! I though you were on an EBR at first.
I've rode The Dragon many times but not like this. You have a set the size of watermelons, buddy ! Great vid !
What tires do you use
Oof… just watching him take those turns at 40 something mph on this particular road, makes my booty hole pucker up something fierce. Great run, great time👍🏽
Excellent riding.
What tyre pressure u running
Great video 👍
nice vidi. super fast!
Holy Snot Balls! All I kept thinking was - if a deer darts out this could end badly. That was impressive Bro.
Awesome! Bravo
Just did the dragon this week. Good road to point out weak points in riding. The 3rd time through I got it in 18min. Can't imagine finishing it in 9m especially with those sports cars riding the center lines!
lol that's the thing he had the whole damn road to himself I bet that never happens
Did you do the same distance as Maxwrist? The Scenic Overlook to the TN State Line? Or did you do more? The 11 miles is from the Dam on the South end (in NC) to the large pullout near the wide river on the North end (TN). My guess is that Maxi did about 8 miles of this tight, technical road in 9min 09sec. I bet your 18min was over a longer course?
I would say that ride & time is above my skill/pay grade. At 74 & riding a Harley Roadster (I am so sorry I had to sell my FBF prepped F1 Ducati) I could only approach that time in my dreams. At this stage of the game, you have to make a few more pit stops because ‘nature calls’ a little more often.
Wow that was fun great ride brother again that was bad ass riding make my time on my 77 Suzuki GS550 look like I did it with a sun dial
From a HD bagger rider,
The only reason you were so fast is because you didn't have to worry about some crazy dude passing you in one of those curves 😉,!!
Awesome ride man.
