HOW TO RIDE THE DRAGON

Somewhat long in the tooth - but well worth watching if you have not seen it.
Both of these guys are on motobago Goldwings!
Wish I was near this good . . .

Have talked to these guys at the dragon before what they can do on these goldwings is amazing the GWs are very good handling bikes, who if anyone ended up buying his business?

What was his business?

Deflating sports bike rider's egos?

In 1988 I met a bloke in Burnie, a Tasmanian timber town near many famed and very 'hairy' wet narrow mountain roads full of timber jinkers who rode an old 1st series 1000cc Goldwing like that wearing a full length Dri-Z-Bone caped waxed cloth overcoat looking like a lone Rider of the Apocalypse

As bad a** as that video is, it don't even come close to the reality of riding that road like those guys are doing it Ruzzle. I would be pushing my personal limits to average the speed limit from one end to the other and that is only 30 mph. A lot of folk have come to grief on that stretch of road.

Nice bit of riding there! I'd say they had done it a time or two to carve it up so smoothly.

Thanks for posting! cool video.

I’ve owned a couple GL1800’s. Looking at one sitting still it’s hard to believe how insanely well they handle.

I affectionately called mine “The Hondapotamus”
