    Going to be there in July first time back since Covid hit, riding down from Ontario Canada to Maggie Valley for two weeks. The last time we did Maggie Valley we put almost 8000 km in two weeks thanks for the video and memories. Cheers

      thanx . im going thru withdrawals, in ny, just got more snow .. ugh 2 more feet. cant ride . listening to that one of a kind goldwing sound is keeping me going. i live for curvy roads . keep on shifting . 4 wheels move the body , two wheels move the soul.

    What a twisty road! Too bad that car didn't pull off!

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      WheelsNotHeels it's beautiful in that area this time of year. We hit it just right!!! I know the cars gotta use the road too. I wanna ride fast and the Mrs wants me to slow down to see things!!! The struggle is real!!!!

    Hey Mike I have been watching your videos all evening. Well done. I see you already loved my last comment. You got another subscriber. Keep up the great videos. I was watching your video where the older guy crashed and thought of Annette Carrion, who died in California in the past couple of days. When I looked up girls crashing I was shocked to see story after story. I guess everything has risks. I hope everyone, guys and gals, have a safe and accident free summer.

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  6 лет назад

      appreciate that Joseph. I read EVERY comment for sure! yes that was sad about Annettee Carrion. Way too young.

    I rode the Tail of the Dragon this past August...I thought we have mountain roads here in SW VA but...whew! The tail was something. Also rode around Little Switzerland and all through the NC TN area. Great ride with great friends! Ride safe young man.

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      So which was YOUR favorite Ed? We made our way on to The Dragon as well after this. I think we have been to The Dragon on 3 different trips. I know it can get crowded, but I do Love it. But 226A is Super Fun as well. I would like to ride it going "up" the mountain the next time!!!!

    • @TriGlideEd
      @TriGlideEd 7 лет назад

      We actually like the ride the next morning after the Tail. Wish I could remember the road number but I think it was route 80...? I'll see one of the guys tomorrow that rode with us, I'll ask him and let you know. We're riding tomorrow in a benefit ride.

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад +1

    Enjoyed the video... Dang I wish I had known you were coming our way. I am in the Winston Salem area. Sure would be great to meet you, maybe sometime in the future that could happen. I enjoy your video's and comments. I have ridden the Diamond back before, it's been a while though. I've been wanting to ride the "goose" up that way... Moto Guzzi California 1400 touring. Enjoy your trip and ride safe. BK

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      Man thats a great area for riding up there! Next time I will have to make a pre-trip video and let folks know when I head up that way. Always fun to meet up with a few Subscribers and Ride and chat!!!!

  • @egore675

    Nice road to be on. Me my buddy pulled of instead of waiting and wishing the car pulled off and made the ride better.

  • @dbest1aVlogs
    @dbest1aVlogs 7 лет назад +1

    Enjoyed the gimbal views of the hero 4 , That road is a must go to for me .. oh yea.. And the T-shirt is a must get for me .. haha. Hey my Deals Gap T is fading man, you know what that means.. lol. no mail order Ts here.

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      Dbest1a Vlogs yes sir. Road trip for new T shirt! That was momma working the GoPro from the back. Gotta put her to work sometimes! She's starting to get the hang of it!

    • @dbest1aVlogs
      @dbest1aVlogs 7 лет назад +1

      oh yeah , i saw in the mirror. I have a gimbal that works with the my hero 3+. I am looking for one to work with my YI2 camera .. Gotta look into that.

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      Windell Poole I needed another run or 2 on this one. Really like to fund the groove on it and kick up the throttle a notch, but then of course, wouldnt enjoy the scenery as well!!!

  • @HawkGirlMistyV
    @HawkGirlMistyV 7 лет назад +1

    I love this road, it's a good one! You mean the speck that is Little Switzerland, lol! The dragon does get all the attention but it's hard to find a bad road around there! Stupid cars, not using the pull offs, lol, great ride Mike!

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      I got stuck this weekend on The Dragon by a little old couple......after we finally crossed over the Bridge....they pulled over!!!

    • @HawkGirlMistyV
      @HawkGirlMistyV 7 лет назад

    @ThomasNessman 7 лет назад +1

    Have to wonder how the Can Am RT-S would do on that road? No complaint on the ride there, Mike. It was, colorful. But I'd like to see you make a similar ride through Yellowstone.

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      Thomas Nessman you and me both!!! I'd be curious too how a Spyder would handle on such a twisty road!!!! Maybe you can stretch yours out on some curves and let us know!

  • @coyote102076
    @coyote102076 7 лет назад

    May be less curves than dragon, but to me it looks like a more beautiful ride. Now mind you, that statement is based solely upon what I can see from a video screen. I have as of yet to ride the both of them in person. . . . . . . . . . . . . but I will ! :-D Thanks for another great vid! I will admit, at first I thought you were going really slow, then realized your speedometer goes up to 140 MPH. lol

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад +1

      It is less "work" to me and YES.....better views while riding. So you get your fill of scenery and of riding the roads hard if you choose to....also...LESS traffic as you can see!!!

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад +1

      LoL....yeah I was riding about all the speed I needed with momma on the back..35-50mph most of the way, including some of the curves!!

    • @MemphisMike901

      I do not even use that camera or have it anymore..but i was probably shooting in 1080P 60FPS

  • @shreedevi2005
    @shreedevi2005 7 лет назад

    Wow! That was a great road. Is it me or does tnis road look narrower than the dragon? I felt like the dragon was a slightly wider road.

    • @MemphisMike901
      @MemphisMike901  7 лет назад

      Thats a good point....I believe the Dragon is wider and has more "shoulder" in parts as well.
