You obviously have no idea what adrenaline is. We push the boundaries and live on the edge to feel alive. Some of us are insanely capable riders who are well aware of common sense risks as well. Stay in the back of the pack on your bike and leave the serious riding to us.
I live in Los Gatos in northern CA. This looks exactly like many of the roads that I ride daily. What makes this road dangerous is many that ride it aren’t familiar with its nuances. I bet it’s less dangerous to local regulars. Most of my areas local wrecks are caused by excessive speed for the conditions, ie. wet or cold roads. Be safe!
I just got my first sport bike. I can't wait to be good enough to take this ride. What a trip. Awesome video thanks for letting me ride on your shoulder.
Spend the money to buy top of the line leathers and helmet and boots and gloves and body armor then go out to the racetrack and spend time and money practicing on the track days, where there are no cars, opposing traffic, animals, trees, RVs, and cliffs... if you want to have a slightly higher chance of survival!!
@@Dharma-Track I just went to my first track weekend at Little Talley. Chewed up tires but I learned a lot taking the race classes and talking to the coaches and many new friends, running the track. Can't wait til next season.
@@riderdie1603 I live on the shores of Lake Erie half hour East of CLE. My good friend finally bought property in Robbinsville NC. Right on 129. Tail of the Dragon. Been there many times now. I have 2010FZ6R and 2015fz09. Good times down there. Mountain people are great too. I saw a black bear early in the AM. on mile 5 once. Really something
Love that place I live 5 hours but I'm in a mx5 my conner eater . I always wondered how fast you guys go. I might can keep up with ya in curzes but on long stretch I'm done
Wondering how long you been riding before you did this tail. Also do you have any good advice for my brother who just start riding and is looking to ride this tail soon
This guy has been riding for a long time. Your brother will be fine. Even new riders can handle the dragon. It's just the way you ride it. There's plenty of people out there just cruising around going the speed limit. I think you'd be surprised, it's so twisty it's really hard to get going very fast at all. Just go, you'll have fun!
I live just over the line in Ky and own two motorcycles a liter bike and a CBR300R and yes we have great roads for riding. My favorite is down by Laurel lake in corbin Ky. We often race on a long bridge over looking the damn!
I don't know why this road is so famous... I guess in USA most of them are long straight boring road😜 In Spain we have a lot of them, so every time you can do a different route. For example, look for Prades (Tarragona) I call that are Nurburgring, because is a green hell of a road, or the road above Castellar del Vallés (Barcelona), la Alpujarra (Granada), etc... I invite you to come to Spain and enjoy some good roads and food
Freaking amazing video. Thank you. Sorry for the noob question. How was this filmed? I see it was a 360 degree camera. But how is it mounted? Really cool
No worries I saw it in the corner of a couple of frames.. For some reason I remember it being up closer to where you turn into the carpark mind you that was 20 years ago so memory plays tricks on you at times..
just got my bike a few months ago ive lived in asheville NC my whole life and always wanted to move away from here but now i find out that one of the most famous roads to ride on is only an hour away????
The bike has a long pole mounted on the back, kind of a like a sturdy fishing pole or radio antenna. The camera is mounted on the top and can be facing forward or backwards... simple but effective.

stayed pretty much or the right side of the double yellow (witch should be thought of as a wall) cars and bikes alike ....too many people riding this dragoon .. i'll be on the backroads of Carolina or Wisconsin or Tenn...VMax n R1x2
Finally a full video with the 360° camera 👍🏾
Leaning over the double yellow line is a great way to lose your head. Same goes for crossing it
No one needs heads now a day that implies we actually use our 🧠 Full send and you’ll be okay 😂
@@justincastaneda3328 speak for yourself brainless American 😂
Oh For Real? I Had No Idea!!!!😮😮😮
Have you actually ever done the dragon?

2:10 this turn is cemented in my brain, the camera doesn’t do it justice
I have ridden the Dragon two times and seeing these guys give me an adrenaline rush. Great video
SWEET. WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU GUYS. IM STILL A WORKING STIFF AND LIVE ABOUT SIX HOURS FROM THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON. HAVE FUN AND STAY SAFE.
WHAT DID HE SAY?

Seesh KTG!! miss riding with ya bud!

@@AN0NYM0USSUER Ill be back this summer once our girls are out of school!
Sweet mount angle, really get so see how your moving around on the bike better than before.
I just rode the dragon Tuesday. One of the best rides ever.
Will you please do a video of how you did the setup of your camera and show us how you ended up with that good looking angle
Heard stories about that road, only 45 minutes from me. Gonna have to ride out there
Max is back, crash season is here again !!🏁🏁🏁👍
Awesome footage - felt like I was there with ya
Slaying the dragon
Love that place I live 5 hours but I'm in a mx5 my conner eater . I always wondered how fast you guys go. I might can keep up with ya in curzes but on long stretch I'm done
Pretty sure I saw you guys this past weekend. My first time on the Dragon
Dope vid bro, really like the view with the 360, gives me great view of the dragon and breaking points, before I hit it.. 💪🏽🤙🏽
This is so gorgeous in the autumn colors. damn
how long you in nc for max? i now live 6hrs away from the dragon... i can't wait to ride it
Is this filmed with a drone? Awesome video nonetheless!
Im absolutely riding through here asap but man those cliffs make my booty cheeks clench 🤣
The absolute best video of Tail of the the Dragon! What camera system are you using? Heading there in June!!!
Have a great ride! bit.ly/maxwristx2

I think you'd be surprised, it's so twisty it's really hard to get going very fast at all.
Just go, you'll have fun!
Don't ask for advice from max. I'm surprised he is still alive.
That’s a cute little road. I could see how flat landers would get worked up about it though.

It’s awesome to watch my brothers ride. KTG yay yay 💯🐺🐺🐺
Didnt you Upload a similiar Video in only that Perspektive ? I cant find it
Great, but what is that "Ball", hovering in the Air, to the right of Wristy for a second, it's at the start of the Ride, 0:34 time-mark..?🤔
Indicates there’s power lines for aircraft.
yea your right that’s so fucking trippy i’m way to stoned for that lmao
@@Slowkat 😙💨
312 bends on this road, and you managed to go over the yellows on more than half. Well done…
I know, right? I did this ride on a 550lb r1200gsa and I didn’t do that once
Weee weee boo hooo
did u gear ur bike differently ? it sounds like u stay in one gear alot ?

Women too?
Most of the USA is flat, spain has many mountains…
@@diesel961 yeah, I also invite all women to come and enjoy our good road, so we could also enjoy them
J'adore toujours un plaisir de voir t vidéos
i just got back home from going through this. i have a gt350 and i must say my legs and hands are still shaking
Freaking amazing video. Thank you. Sorry for the noob question. How was this filmed? I see it was a 360 degree camera. But how is it mounted? Really cool
The camera edits out the mounting stick somehow
I wondered exactly the same thing.
GREAT VID 💯💯💯🔝
Going back next month been 15 years since I rode there but ride with Max regularly now he's back at the dragon I'd love to be in a video.
Honestly, id rather just do a track day to ride fast like that. On that road i just want to cruise
The beginning suddenly looks like a video game clip. 😊
🤩KTG !
🤘😈🤘 sounds so good!!!🔥🔥🔥
wow😲 nice ride max wrist i'm from nepal
Vid so good I brought all these thumbs ups 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥
YAY YAY KTG
What happened to the Tree of Shame???? I had a chunk of fairing on that..
No worries I saw it in the corner of a couple of frames.. For some reason I remember it being up closer to where you turn into the carpark mind you that was 20 years ago so memory plays tricks on you at times..
Throwin down on tha dragon boi
❤❤
were any of those Ducatis Panigales? I've always wanted to see one IRL
My husband did theTail on his GoldWing. I suspect he went a whole lot slower than you!
Who’s doing the filming? A drone?
Killing the game🔥
eyyy back in the smokies huh. stick around till june 11th ill be up there
Oh, you're back on the Dragon?
Tad late... Thanks for the video. Snow on the ground, good medicine.
Ok, now I understand why that road is so famous, wow. Great video, thanks!
Just watch the TT sorry but not even close😂
You got your smooth brain over the line
just got my bike a few months ago ive lived in asheville NC my whole life and always wanted to move away from here but now i find out that one of the most famous roads to ride on is only an hour away????
The red black bike is R1?
That drone footage at the start is sick!!!
no drone. 360° gopro mounted on a pole
It's all fun and games until there's a car in your lane because they're on their phone.
Nobody is on their phone on this road. You've never been on the dragon and it shows.
6:34 his tire is in the dirt at triple digits in a corner. Lucky you didn’t lose control
So there’s a TikTok page that’s named MaxWrist, is that your page?
One Road I never got to Ride!
Ive driven this in a vehicle a lot, my hands are SWEATING watching this video lmao
Dragon Slayer
How is it with Kitty and The bike🙏🌸
Awesome footage
where the hell is the camera mounted? Wicked
Does he normally say when he’s gonna ride? I wanna see him but I’m only able to hit the dragon on the weekends rio
I live an hour away from here it’s a beautiful road to just cruise
How is this being filmed? A drone?

Awesome Video!
Its looks cool but dangerous at the same time. The closest thing to me riding there is just youtube lol
In Brazil we have a road like this,is called "rastro da serpente" snake trail✊✊
KTG my first official run of 2022 with no ducati problems 🤣
wheres the mph cam? need some reality here. the cams always distort the perception of speed. good vid -thx!
Twisty Wristy always #1 ☝️
🧡🏍👍🔥🧡🏍👍🔥
Splendide vidéo....
Magnifique bruit....
🔥👍🏍🧡🔥👍🏍🧡
I went to Wookies in the woods and a Vw was trying to catch up to the parade and almost hit us. It was a mark 4 GLI
KTG 🤘
Max, what gear did you mostly use?
Leaning over the double yellow line shows no particular riding skills
First why are there stripes at all!? They need matenains, are dangerous, have no purpose. In Europe you hno stripes. Much saver and more fun to ride.
Bucket list
Guy with the camera is way too close to the double yellow lines on left turns.

@@Dharma-Track cool
Looks fun but at that speed I would have tunnel vision
How is this being filmed??
Never seen so many squids in one pack
how did u video it, what gear did u use?
Wtf is that sphere floating on the right at the beginning????
stayed pretty much or the right side of the double yellow (witch should be thought of as a wall) cars and bikes alike ....too many people riding this dragoon .. i'll be on the backroads of Carolina or Wisconsin or Tenn...VMax n R1x2
Lots of practice before I even try this on a bike . I'll stick to 4 wheels
Go in the morning during the week. Run your own pace
im planning a trip there in august
Time for a weekday visit
This is what we have in our state.curve and blind yet too awesome
Chase it dude
They sure spend allot of time on the dead side of the paint........
Frieden Für Erde 🌎 🌎 🌎 Natur ❤❤❤❤❤Erde gibt nur Einmalig 🌎
Missing Kitty.
Imagine thinking this is hard... All our roads here could be called tail of the dragon. lmao
pretty nice ride except that overtaking in 6:13...
