Reminds me of when I was novice road racer 10 years ago.. Fellow rider would come up to me and say :"I was going to get past you but..". Well why didn't you?
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.
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.
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 👌
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
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 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.
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.
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
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 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
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.
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
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 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.
@@James-gk8ip Utter rubbish. There was no opportunity for the beginner behind on his scooter to overtake. The Wing was ambling through the twisties and minding his own business perfectly well close to his limit.
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
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.
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.
You are so right! I also took the British police advanced driving course and they teach you to do things that are not in the highway code. And like you, in the USA I apply the same skills I learnt from those superb copper drivers. Including using ALL the road, even across double yellow lines, when it is clear and safe to do so.
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.
@@artlost85 I watched carefully and every time the Wing crossed the dounble yellow it was perfectly safe with a good view ahead and room to correct. You are quite simply wrong or an amateur, I suspect both.
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.
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.... !!!
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....
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 guys have know idea. He’s clearly riding well within his skill level. Watch again. He only takes the other lane when it’s safe to do so. I’m betting he’s a much better rider that all of you. Seriously, you guys need to stay in your lane and stop trolling on RUclips. I know a couple of HD Roadglide Riders that would pass even this guy. And they are some of the best and safest riders I know.
Terrible rider, he's taking the wrong line for every corner. Never, ever, cross the centerline on a marked public road, bad habit to get into, because when someone is coming your way you have to bail unexpectedly and the setup for the next turn is even worse. All those roads are now getting serrated centerline grooves becasue of dumbasses like this.
anyone who uses the other lane is not sane and certainly not within hios skill level. This guy is seriously over his level. Btw. the obne filming is better, but also pretty on the edge...
@@elixier33 He didn't dump it no matter how he set up his turns. And I ride an 1800 and had a 1500 and a 1200 and a 1100. Never recorded my miles but been riding since I was 15 and now I'm 50. Ofcourse I would never ride like this and don't recommend it.
"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.
I’m a Police motorcycle rider in the UK. The Wing rider could’ve just come out of the riding school as far as I’m concerned, smooth, making progress as he should. Following rider looked like he could barely keep up
Now that's the kind of policing I like. 😀That being said, ok, he's not abiding by the rules, that's true, but I've seen guys on bikes doing far worse without crossing any lines, except that of basic reasoning. Greetings from Belgium.
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.
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 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.
@@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.
That Goldwing rider was obviously very experienced and skilled. At first glance to a youngster or inexperienced rider this may look a dodgy, but watch a few times and look closely. I reckon he knows the road pretty well and is in full control of his machine. There is nothing wrong with using all the available road when you can see, don't forget the guy in front of you has a better view than you. We have hundreds of roads twistier than Deals Gap in the UK. You all need some lessons in cornering. The Goldwing rider has obviously done and passed all his lessons.
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.
@@adamniswonger8015 But he is in his own lane during the bends where vision is blocked. He only crosses over when the road ahead is clear and he can see so there is nothing wrong with this video.
Any Biker who says he/she never once straightened out curves in this manner is either lying, a beginner or never been down a Curvy Country road on a Sunday afternoon.
Ain’t a damn thing wrong with that Gold Wing (Driver or scooter) son, driving motorcycles all my long life and that driver has skill. You and that moped toaster your running!
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.
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.
Too much kindness here for the Goldwing rider. If you're on the slower bike, slow a little and stay right when safe ... and let the faster bike pass you.
What's wrong with passing the centreline when you have a clear view ahead? You have to see through the corner, and if you look carefully you see him doing just that, turning his head into the corner to look through it. This technique is taught to motorcyclists all over the world and is mandatory for a save ride. Furthermore he only crosses the centreline after observing the corner, not at every corner. I am surprised about the upset of crossing a centreline in the US, it almost feels like it is holy ground never to pass. Those who are against probably don't even know to use the frontbrake hard.
Laws in that area are no crossing the solid yellow line.. with a constant police presence.. also he might have a clear view but the idiot in the car coming the other way might not
It is permissible to cut the center line if you are sure there's no vehicle in front, it will save you your tyres and fuel if you do it correctly like the goldwing rider
The Rider is compident and in full control, its a (heavy bike) and he's taken the (easy route though the corners) and road is clear... If anything riding a bit too quick for his style of bike in those twisties. Polite suggestion... Pay attention to your own riding style, and look were your going. no one's perfect. Ride safe. 🇬🇧👍
It's disappointing to see how many zero-talent clowns are puffing up their chests in your comments to defend Grandpa Squid the Goldwing Disaster. Anyone who thinks the best path down a curvy road is a straight line that crosses into the oncoming lane is bad at riding motorcycles. Thanks for immortalizing that guy's shame for those of us who can take a corner.
That guy hauled that big Wing pretty good. He only crossed the yellow when it was clearly safe to do so. Not the best practice I know but who among us hasn’t done it?
too true. The guy following is sitting there judging but the Goldwing only crosses lines when it's totally risk free - I'm not entering into the legality or otherwise
@@stevecrocker6904 Exactly. Everybody does it at some point. It’s when you cross the yellow unintentionally or out of control is when there’s cause for concern.
This is why older guys like myself ride a Goldwing cause you young ones couldn't handle one and by the way, it's good safe riding practice to cut the corners when it's safe to do so.
I see no idiot part too! He cuts lanes only when he can see whats coming. What i can see is, he exelerates much better, than the girl with the Supermoto following!

Goldwing would have no trouble navigating those curves at decent speeds. Just seems like an older rider with slower reflexes and more cautious because he values his life. Edit: just read pinned comment and seems I was right. Funny people complaining about him crossing the center line when he only does it when he has fully visibility and it’s explicitly safe to do so. He never crosses it on blind corners.
The guys rode his big girl very nicely! I hope you don’t expect to use the same line and break points? Anyway next time bring bigger balls and pass him 😀

Fellow rider would come up to me and say :"I was going to get past you but..".
Well why didn't you?
When was the gold wing ever a threat?? More like the whiny guy behind couldn’t make the overtake so he just sooked about it the whole video. 🤷♂️
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.
That Goldwing rider has more skills than the guy behind him.
Yea really skilled with crossing yellow lines and driving on the wrong side of the road
@@DrKampfpudding hes all over the place. No skill
@@DrKampfpudding Do it all the time
That's for damned sure.
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.
That guy can stone cold ride that heavy cruiser. No idiot to be seen here. Just awesome style and control
Wrong title, should say Goldwing rider having a blast in the twisties 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well actually, the title should say "Stupid Goldwing rider trying to avoid cornering on a twisty road"
I agree
I think the DR was having trouble keeping up 😜
Still cant figure out that title😂
@Derek Wilson cring
Harassing the guy from behind wasn’t a great move. Let him do his thing and give him space ☹️
So why does the Goldwing not slow down and let the guy pass ?.
Yeah let him drive into oncoming traffic no big deal.
@@chrisminter271: He couldn't pass legally. By the way he damns the other guy for crossing them he'd be a hypocrite
@@chrisminter271 Why should he?
@@chrisminter271 Because the wing rider was clearly the better rider....
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.
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?
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 👌
yep, he rides just fine. He was all the while paying attention to what was ahead while the following rider, the poster, was tut-tutting
no he can't, he's an idiot, he keeps going in other side of the road
No. The goldwing guy rides like shit. He can't control his bike or shift properly.
He's crushing it!
@@stevecrocker6904 for an American.
I saw nothing wrong he rode the shit out of that goldwing.
^*like shit
@@drewkey6437 then you're stupid!
He only crossed the line a few times and it was always when he had good visibility for oncoming traffic (ie not blind corners)
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
How many times do you cross the line before you end up under somebodies front end?grow up!
@@amiles-mo5mc bullshit!!
Bullshit!
@@paulsmith3487 you don’t if you can see there’s no front ends to go under??
Absolutely love the goldwing. Rider is very experienced. Plonker filming him is jealous.
That guy rides a GoldWing like sport bike and makes it look easy. Awesome footage
If you ignore the crossing of double yellows in blind turns sure... Being fast doesn't make you a good driver.
he couldn't keep it in his lane and he almost dumped it over the right shoulder.
@@kroach2653 those he crossed double lines weren't that blind... he saw ahead just fine... no sight line intrusion at all.
The rider read the road perfectly,probably an ex police rider or ex racer,definitely an experienced rider
or confident rider
All that whining and the best part was that Wing silently walking away at the end. Beautiful!

Yeah, that made me smile
Yes,this time!
Fraudulent numbers again.
Says you!
title correction :
i cannot beat a goldwing rider with my motorcycle gifted by my parents for my 21
Correction,I'm not a motorcyclist!
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 do this with good visibility with my dyna, big bikes...need bigger roads
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.
Is really that me too i see that
It’s because the guy is constantly going into the oncoming lane, which is what gets people killed up there. Locals hate idiots like this.
@@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.
@@biteme4338 Locals don’t cross lanes.
@@Comrade_Chloe Oh, no, of course not. Not a single one, ever. Because you say so.
Don't be jealous that he can handle a 900-pound machine like it's 300 lb
The best part was when he passed the cycle at the end.
A shit Motorcycle rider, riding over yellow lines just a lucky dope that didn't get killed by an on coming car or RV
@@anthonyfox1436 He only crossed the lines when he had a clear view.
For real
@@anthonyfox1436 he had good straight line visibility, what do you ride? A segway?😁thats decent spirited riding
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.
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?
23 years of riding and you clearly still have a lot to learn.
Experienced rider on the Goldwing! Really good skill and safety ride without bling corners when it's possible. Good riding strategy. Love it.
Yes its sure
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 😂😂
Love your sarcasm ☺️
That was horrible driving.
A candidate for a head on!
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
Ha,haha!
Fool!
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.
He's just doing what you're doing... but better, faster, with more skill and in greater comfort.
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
Did you see an other video?
@@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 where i came from, you dont fucking touch the oncoming lane, especially on a solid line.
And he could let him overtake.
@@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
good riders don’t need to cross lines
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.
ya😊
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.
@@James-gk8ip Utter rubbish. There was no opportunity for the beginner behind on his scooter to overtake. The Wing was ambling through the twisties and minding his own business perfectly well close to his limit.
Complains about the Goldwing rider having a blast and riding really well, yet he doesn't have the skill to overtake him on his dual-sport.
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.
@@DeCavalcante What do you call @2:23?
@@J.Arnold that's why the title of the video is calling him an idiot.
@@DeCavalcante ... oh, lord
@@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
"goldwing rider leans the shit out of bike, while super moto rider gets salty"
I just see a biker enjoying himself. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Imagine of your highways were infested with these Yahoo's.not a good place to be!
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.
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.
You are so right! I also took the British police advanced driving course and they teach you to do things that are not in the highway code. And like you, in the USA I apply the same skills I learnt from those superb copper drivers. Including using ALL the road, even across double yellow lines, when it is clear and safe to do so.
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.
Agreed, this rider had good skill.
Agree
You call double corners in the woods a clear view? How did you get that old with that point of view?
@@artlost85 I watched carefully and every time the Wing crossed the dounble yellow it was perfectly safe with a good view ahead and room to correct. You are quite simply wrong or an amateur, I suspect both.
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.
Love the Goldwing guy he obviously plays in his backyard and knows his bike really well.
Actually no. He can't control his bike and shifts like shit.
Exactly!
and reads the road well !!
@@erwin4501 yes,the road to the mortuary!
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.... !!!
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…
So why does the Goldwing not slow down and let the guy pass ?.
@@chrisminter271 idk that was a year ago... having fun lol?
@@chrisminter271 why should the goldwing slow down? Cam rider couldn't catch him 😂
@@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....

Yes, concentrate on what you are riding, the goldwing guy is totally in control of his own machine !
But not his environment!
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.

@@glennsmith8299 There is no class of special people who get to ride into the wrong lane. It really just means you're lazy.
Well visibility its totally different from the man in the Goldwing so that allow you to see if someone is coming if not you can take a wider angle
@@glennsmith8299 hahahahaha
You guys have know idea. He’s clearly riding well within his skill level. Watch again. He only takes the other lane when it’s safe to do so. I’m betting he’s a much better rider that all of you. Seriously, you guys need to stay in your lane and stop trolling on RUclips. I know a couple of HD Roadglide Riders that would pass even this guy. And they are some of the best and safest riders I know.
Wrong. His set ups for corners were ass backwards and if you can't stay in your lane you are a danger.
Terrible rider, he's taking the wrong line for every corner. Never, ever, cross the centerline on a marked public road, bad habit to get into, because when someone is coming your way you have to bail unexpectedly and the setup for the next turn is even worse. All those roads are now getting serrated centerline grooves becasue of dumbasses like this.
anyone who uses the other lane is not sane and certainly not within hios skill level. This guy is seriously over his level. Btw. the obne filming is better, but also pretty on the edge...
Very well put. 👏 to me he is a excellent rider
@@elixier33 He didn't dump it no matter how he set up his turns. And I ride an 1800 and had a 1500 and a 1200 and a 1100. Never recorded my miles but been riding since I was 15 and now I'm 50. Ofcourse I would never ride like this and don't recommend it.
"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.
You forgot to mention GW rider is a negligent idiot.
the only issue i see here is you not having enough hp to take him over and not care ?

I’m a Police motorcycle rider in the UK. The Wing rider could’ve just come out of the riding school as far as I’m concerned, smooth, making progress as he should. Following rider looked like he could barely keep up
100% correct, that guy knew what he was doing....
Now that's the kind of policing I like. 😀That being said, ok, he's not abiding by the rules, that's true, but I've seen guys on bikes doing far worse without crossing any lines, except that of basic reasoning. Greetings from Belgium.
Go back to school,China!
Goldwing rider is riding great, you're judging from your position, he's much ahead with farther views to take calculated risks.

Bro thinks he owns the road 💀
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!
"Having to cross lanes"??? No, if someone is pushing you, PULL OVER and let them by!
Cry me a river... He never crossed a blind corner. Nothing wrong here except sumo not being able to pass him up
Passing this idiot would be a HUGH mistake. You only have to run over once by a moron that "thinks" he can ride to know better
Yea because croosing a double yellow is totally legal u know
That boy riding the hell outta that goldwing leave him alone

Goldwing upset Karen.
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.
Dude on the Goldwing is about a 100X better rider than the individual recording htis video!

That Goldwing rider was obviously very experienced and skilled. At first glance to a youngster or inexperienced rider this may look a dodgy, but watch a few times and look closely. I reckon he knows the road pretty well and is in full control of his machine. There is nothing wrong with using all the available road when you can see, don't forget the guy in front of you has a better view than you. We have hundreds of roads twistier than Deals Gap in the UK. You all need some lessons in cornering. The Goldwing rider has obviously done and passed all his lessons.
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.
@@MickH60 he'd using a public road Dumbo!

He’s not. If he was he could stay in his own lane.

@@adamniswonger8015 But he is in his own lane during the bends where vision is blocked. He only crosses over when the road ahead is clear and he can see so there is nothing wrong with this video.
Why was the guy on the Goldwing an idiot? He clearly knew his bike and set the pace - If you can't pass him then accept defeat gracefully.
Any Biker who says he/she never once straightened out curves in this manner is either lying, a beginner or never been down a Curvy Country road on a Sunday afternoon.
Ain’t a damn thing wrong with that Gold Wing (Driver or scooter) son, driving motorcycles all my long life and that driver has skill. You and that moped toaster your running!
Yeah,around your back yard.
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👍😎
Guy was doing fine he just bought a big ol bird to the dance.
What's the problem? Looked to me like he was riding that GW pretty well. Only cut lines when nothing was coming. 🤷♀
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.
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 think your just a hater bro. That guy is killing it.
The Pleasure Before the Pain.
That guy was trying to scape from you. That’s why he was speeding like that, lol!
I was waiting to see the idiot part. What’s the matter, couldn’t you just pass him???
Amatuer!
Too much kindness here for the Goldwing rider. If you're on the slower bike, slow a little and stay right when safe ... and let the faster bike pass you.
What's wrong with passing the centreline when you have a clear view ahead? You have to see through the corner, and if you look carefully you see him doing just that, turning his head into the corner to look through it. This technique is taught to motorcyclists all over the world and is mandatory for a save ride. Furthermore he only crosses the centreline after observing the corner, not at every corner.
I am surprised about the upset of crossing a centreline in the US, it almost feels like it is holy ground never to pass. Those who are against probably don't even know to use the frontbrake hard.
Laws in that area are no crossing the solid yellow line.. with a constant police presence.. also he might have a clear view but the idiot in the car coming the other way might not
Agree with you. He rides safely than the author, but out of rules, unfortunately.
@@Teambob808 dont be ENVY. If you don't have a good job, find a new one. Pheraps you are so jealous on your 1000 dollars bike
It is permissible to cut the center line if you are sure there's no vehicle in front, it will save you your tyres and fuel if you do it correctly like the goldwing rider
The Rider is compident and in full control, its a (heavy bike) and he's taken the (easy route though the corners) and road is clear... If anything riding a bit too quick for his style of bike in those twisties. Polite suggestion... Pay attention to your own riding style, and look were your going. no one's perfect. Ride safe. 🇬🇧👍
It's disappointing to see how many zero-talent clowns are puffing up their chests in your comments to defend Grandpa Squid the Goldwing Disaster. Anyone who thinks the best path down a curvy road is a straight line that crosses into the oncoming lane is bad at riding motorcycles. Thanks for immortalizing that guy's shame for those of us who can take a corner.
That guy hauled that big Wing pretty good. He only crossed the yellow when it was clearly safe to do so. Not the best practice I know but who among us hasn’t done it?
too true. The guy following is sitting there judging but the Goldwing only crosses lines when it's totally risk free - I'm not entering into the legality or otherwise
@@stevecrocker6904 Exactly. Everybody does it at some point. It’s when you cross the yellow unintentionally or out of control is when there’s cause for concern.
I got a wing and that's the way they turn, they lay way over before turning. The rider is talented .I don't do that shit anymore . But it looks fun .
This is why older guys like myself ride a Goldwing cause you young ones couldn't handle one and by the way, it's good safe riding practice to cut the corners when it's safe to do so.
Go back to the start pop and keep quite about it!
You're the dangerous rider. You're pushing him. He was riding really well, especially for a large, heavy Wing
As many others have said, - the idiot filming this was the only problem- the Goldwing had his under control and was minding his own business.
That pass by the Goldwing was epic👊🏻

Don't see the problem here. Guys having fun pushing his trashwagon through the curves.
If the corner isn’t blind there’s no issue cutting it.
I see no idiot part too! He cuts lanes only when he can see whats coming.
What i can see is, he exelerates much better, than the girl with the Supermoto following!
Auch wenn man den Kurvenausgang sieht, schneidet man sie nicht so…
Meinst du wegen Kurventechnik und Linienführung oder aus Vernunft!?
@@videolugtnicht7378 eigentlich wegen allem. Man sollte Kurven (bei Rechtsverkehr😉) so anfahren, Rechtskurve von Mittellinie Richtung Rand (1. Drittel von rechts) und Linkskurven vom 1. rechten Drittel zum 3. Drittel (Fahrbahnmitte), ohne mit Körper/Motorrad über die Mitte zu kommen. Klar konnte er die Linie fahren wie im Video weil die Kurven relativ übersichtlich waren, es ist jedoch nicht ratsam weil man irgendwann inkonsequent wird, bzw. unkonzentriert und es auch tut wenn man nicht so gute Sicht hat
@@danielnussberger mjaaaa, das ist die Kurventechnik nach Lehrbuch für Warnwestenträger (auch wenn ich verwirrt bin, ob sich "Drittel" jetzt auf fahrbahn oder Fahrspur bezieht, ich fürchte aber, die Fahrspur ist gemeint.)
Habs mir nochmal angeschaut, er fährt weder Kampflinie noch Ideallinie. Auf offenen Straßen ist die Kampflinie etwas weniger gefährlich, mit dem schweren Bock allerdings auch Arbeit.
If you have a line of sight, there are no dramas
He's just getting salty that a goldwing is gapping him
Goldwing would have no trouble navigating those curves at decent speeds. Just seems like an older rider with slower reflexes and more cautious because he values his life. Edit: just read pinned comment and seems I was right. Funny people complaining about him crossing the center line when he only does it when he has fully visibility and it’s explicitly safe to do so. He never crosses it on blind corners.
The guys rode his big girl very nicely!
I hope you don’t expect to use the same line and break points? Anyway next time bring bigger balls and pass him 😀
