Hey everybody. Just got home today from this trip. Overwhelmed and grateful for the comments. YES I read Everyone one of them!,,, again Thank You all
Hi! Mike, your motorvogs are diffently worth you time doing. Thank you Cutty.
The Wing is purring. Great road. Thanks for taking us along.
Great video! Been on that road several times. We like to leave the store and continue East to Damascus and take Highway 58 to Hwy 16. Turn North from there and ride the back of the dragon from Marion VA to Tazewell, VA.
I'm still learning how to video my rides and they are mostly for me to relive my rides. Here is my first trip down the Snake from Mountain City to Shady Valley.

Yep, I rode this road. Your camera mount was perfect also.
YOU AND MAMA BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN. HAVE RIDDEN 421 BEFORE,BUT WOULDN'T MIND DOIN IT AGAIN. THANKS!
Oh yeah I'm jealous! Its been twenty years since I have been on 421 and its time to go back! Thanks for the ride!
Thanks for the ride along and I like the view
Hey Mike,
I'll be there in less then 3 weeks. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Always great to get a new MemphisMike vid. BTW that camera angle is great!
Great vid. Thanks for taking the time to post. Really lifts the spirits in these difficult times. Just out of “Lockdown” here in the UK, so can ride again! Your vids make me want to trade the pan for a wing!! Stay in the groove and stay safe! Phil from Devon.
I have recently found you and have been thoroughly enjoying ALL your content!!! This video has made me add this road to my trip in July, thank you!💙
I like the camera angle Mike, gets a good view of the road and the lean.
Beautiful beautiful mike awsome
Great ride. Thanks for taking us along. Always enjoy the twisties. I haven't ridden Tennessee but it's on my bucket list. I have ridden the Black Hills and especially the Needles Highway and The Iron Mountain Road in the Black Hills. I recommend putting them on your bucket list if you haven't done them yet.
View is great! Can almost feel it!
Yes it's more open, I like it much better! Great Video And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!
Very nice road Mike. Love it. A few weeks ago I took old US25 outside Asheville down to SC, and it was tight. It ran through Flatrock. I only saw 3 cars, 1 bike and a crapbox full of bicycles. It was a great road too. Be safe and well.
We have a ride here in Arizona. It is on the eastern side of the state, It runs from Springerville to Clifton, AZ. It is over a hundred miles of sweepers, twisties, and curves. It is know as the Devils Highway. Its designation used to be SR 666 but people were constantly stealing the signs, so now it is designated as 191. For those who love to ride curves it is heaven. Very pretty scenery to boot. Very little traffic. Nice roads. I have never gotten to ride back east but it certainly looks inviting. Great video.
The location of your GOPRO on the mirror is great . I have ridden The Snake 4 or 5 times and its a great ride . I live in Manassas Va and I hit The Claw of the Dragon and then The Snake on my way down to Diamond Back. I try to do 6 or 7 rides when I am down in Tenn,NC,SC and GA...Enjoy your ride and stay safe
I wanted to hit Diamondback again but ran out of time!
camera angle is great keep them coming
Really nice ride. I never road anywhere in the east. The farthest east I road was The Black Hills. Ride safe, stay healthy.
You inspired me. I think I am going to hop on the wing and ride.
Nice ride MM! Man, you have a treasure trove of the riding country around you! Yea, that HD was on the line and he was leading, guess the guy following him was even less experienced or waiting to pass him. Anyway thanks for the ride along as always! That mount position was nice but mixing it up gives those who may be wondering what it would like from the driver's perspective. Particularly if they were contemplating an MC purchase. JMHO
I realize this is an older video. However, it made my day. My Goldwing is in the garage for the winter and we have snow and below zero cold. It about six week riding season starts again. Watching this video reminds me of why I ride. Thanks a lot it helps.
Thanks for sharing the adventure with us. I'd love to ride on roads like that. Great video quality and sound and scenery. I'm in sw Ohio and we don't have many roads like that. Maybe zero lol .
That’s a nice road to ride.
I like that view
Very cool video brother. Love the camera position
Glad you enjoyed!
Like that road better than the Dragon. No traffic and great turns.
AWESOME!!!!!
Really enjoyed the ride Mike, lots of rain in South Florida so have been off the bike for a while!
I like the mirror mount Mike. Looks good. Nice ride.
Headed that way next week! Love the camera angle😁
A little behind the MM Vlog archives. Momma in the back and not going to get the Full aggression mode on! Good decision. 😂 Gots to say you be Smooth as butter out there. Picking the lines like a pro and ridn’ the apex. Yup jealous. Texas is a tic tack toe grid. Need to get off that board and into this beautiful terrain. I also see that I do have me some Bohn Armor, now I sees I gots to me a Gold Wing shirt. Good stuff out of the MM camp. Ride safe and often. ATGATT.
Memphis Mike I have Road many times I’ll live very close to that road and what they call Carter County love your videos
Nice road!
I have not been on the snake....... Yet. It's at the top of my list for this summer.....just waiting for the go ahead to get back on the bike! Be well, Patrick

did the dragon looking to do the snake great video
When I can see your dash, I feel like I'm riding the bike.
Love that out front view!!👍🏻💫
Nice ride. That was a sweet looking Indian motorcycle you pulled up next to at the store. And I couldn’t help but notice how having a passenger on board ahem the Mrs. influenced your aggressiveness in attacking the sweepers. 😂 been there. Great video. 👍🏾
love it like the camera angle
Love the snake when I was up there in Tennessee area remember if you get a chance come down here and be our Guest and you can ride to sisters
Thanks for taking us along on your scenic ride!
I love the angle from the mirror mount. The snake is a great road, we rode it a few years ago & want to go back. Thanks for the video.
MM, looks like you are giving those Stones a workout! Have fun, be safe! I like the helmet cam better, you can turn your head and give us a different view.
Got a few roads like that here in northern California, love them all. Like the mirror mount the best.
My husband and I are enjoying the video and loving the views, sceneries and it's a beautiful road to ride. Hope you and your wife enjoy your vacation. The Goldwing sounds great.
I just found you're RUclips channel today I'm really enjoying watching and listening to you thank Memphis Mike.
What a great Vlog! Beautiful scenery and Mrs MM rode along with no complaints!! Lol... Great camera angle and your audio is spot on! Ride safe my friend.......
My wife on her 250 and me on 1100 in 2011 great ride all the way to the dragon. Climbing that mountain was fun after the general Store.
Beautiful road, great sceneries.
Another beautiful run. We do not have roads like that here in MD suburbia unless you go west. Man, TN here we come! Like the mirror cam!
Great camera angle and thanks for shareing
19w out of Erwin Tn. to Burnsville NC is a great ride.
Had to look that up. Looks not far from Little Switzerland, which I have ridden 226. Seems i have ridden all around that area but not hit 19W
Joe Barnett, Yes it is!
Just found your channel. I live just around the corner from where you were. I'm in Johnson City,TN. The real/rest of the Snake was ahead of you. From the store in Shady Valley to Mountain City, TN. If you had turned right at the intersection that is also a good road. It will take you back to Elizabethton,TN. Glad you like my back yard...lol. Come visit anytime!!!
Yes loved the video it's November 17th 2021 they will be delivering my 2020 Harley street glide special in 8 days probably just in time for snow and bad weather for 6 months I am gonna put my Harley in my basement put your video on big screen in front turn the fan on and virtual ride only way to keep from going crazy thanks for showing.
Love the Snake, rode it 3 yrs ago.
Very Very Nice. You sound like me (Rich) lol. When I ride twist I can't help yelling with JOY! Loving the big sweepers, curves even the tight ones. You would LOVE Cali...We ride these types of road almost daily.
Well as for the camera location...I like both front view with no bike and the helmet view as long as the bike don't cover the whole screen. Even made a video about it.
Great Ride Brother and fellow Winger.
Haha. Yep i watched that vid. It did get me to thinking !
Yeah whats that road out in CA that is also called the Snake i think? The Mulholland highway maybe? Yes I call that yelling with Joy a “WingAsm”!
@@MemphisMike901 Yes, The Mulholland Hwy is a nice road, and the section called the snake, is a good section, but extremely short and very over rated. It's also over crowded with cars too. The experience it good if your in the area, but not worth a special trip.
Jealous, envious......you name it! I just wish I was up in the mountains right now!
Ran this section of US 421 last fall and it is on our groups ride list for this fall as well. Great road, nice folks at the Shady Valley Store. A must route if you are in this area!
Ah::: just found this one…nice!
Like this view more than the helmet! This looks like my kind of road, prefer the sweepers rather than the hairpin turns. You’re right, I’m jealous!
Randy
212k miles on my GW, and it still sounds as good as yours...rode the Snake in 2015. Mirror mounted camera is excellent
Just rode the snake today June 7, 2020 I live in Bristol I ride the snake several times each summer and enjoy the ride with you today thanks keep them coming
Very cool! looks like we just missed each other!
Thanks Mike niche ride
Yes road this road.good video
I have not rode it but would like too, if you get up to Southern MO you would like Hwy 19!
Mrs. Memphis Mike ,😀! No head slapping this trip, also 😀!
Looks like a great trip and yes a little jealous.
Great camera work, but aren't you afraid your camera will fall off? 😁
Love the vids, keep them coming MM and Mrs. MM!
Did that last year, great ride
Thanks for taking me along to where I grew up in the Tri-Cities! I didn't know back then how great I had it with so many roads like the Snake to ride. Took my Mom on that same road, I think she like it too. Are you still using the Klock Werks windshield and how is it for this road trip? Have you had the change to get you a Pal's Hot Dog? Good eats.
Yes on Klockwerks. I am 100% pleased!
@@MemphisMike901 Appreciate the feedback, ordered one yesterday. Glad to hear your home safe, Tennessee is a long ride east to west.
Used to do charlotte to blowing rock, boone, mountain city, bristol about 2 or 3 times a year, also done the little switzerland ride and the newland run. I also recommend from brevard to cleveland through the ocoee river valley . You are also having fun going to banner elk. But got to say I think the beartooth from red lodge montana to cook city is fantastic, too. Trail ridge in colorado is equally impressive. Keep riding, it makes life worth living. Used to live in memphis, so i know it gets to be fun once you get past I-65
Appreciate the ride mike!
Thank you sir!
Awesome road dude. I'm more convenience that the Indian Challenger is the scoot I want to travel across the country. The Gold Wing is a great bike, but I need to stretch my legs out which I can't on Gold Wing. Thanks for the ride.
You in my neck of the woods. Your videos inspired me to buy a uses 2012 goldwing. Guess what happened 2 years later. The harley got sold
been there, great ride.
great video
I like stuff like the Snake more than the tight twisty sand switchbacks in the dragon😎😎
Dragon wears me out!
@@MemphisMike901 Well said😎😎
Thank You!
If you get out west, any of the three roads to Fort Bragg California will let you check your own tail lights. Rental cars there must be returned. No one-way rentals!
My problem with the tell of the dragon is the people over riding/driving themselves either on a bike or sports car and come on over in your lane which can be very dangerous. Not to mention when an 18 wheeler slips in and goes through. There was a man killed three or four ears ago that met an 18 wheeler going under it. 😎😎
theChestnutMtnTinman happens on every road they give a name to... one of my favorite riding partners fromTN lost her ST1100 on the snake.. same way! Harley over his head rider crossed the double yellow and took her out! She wasn’t hurt badly but the Harley rider’s leg won’t ever be the same
You can ride walk drive or fly a risk is the risk see you later you're going to die Shed Happens DIY about it but while you're having fun now Kenya yeah
Hey I just spoke my peace and it didn't come up on your page there what's up with that honey want to read your stuff anymore if you ain't going to put down what I say you know is one way thing ain't no good
Harley Davis Not sure what you mean. All my comments go to my page and i do not hold them for review. I am reading your comment right now!
MemphisMike reading it is one thing... understanding it is a whole nother ball game!
Y'all oughta come out to the Big bend area here in west Texas . We got some sweet ridin out here
Makes me want to get back up that way. Haven't been on the snake yet.
I like Whiskey 28 which come off right at the dragon and runs all thre way to South Carolina 😎😎
Thats hard to beat. Love 28 all the way down!
@@MemphisMike901 Yes it is
In Colorado there is a river canyon going to Estes Park. That's a cool ride on bike.
To me I enjoy the Snake over the Dragon. To many bikes on the Dragon!
My neck of the woods. I live in NC., 17 miles from the Mountain City TN. end of US421. It can be a handful but the best part is that there is usually very little traffic.
Love that front view more than the helmet
We still gotta get together. Selfie view is your mount!
Hi Mike You'd like Ohio's 555 or (triple nickel) it is 62 miles long and also crosses Ohio's Rt. 78 which is one of the best roads ever.
Hey Mark. Just finished triple nickel, rt 78, back of the dragon and the devil's triangle.... All great roads. I believe Memphis Mike would love to those ohio roads. 👍
I live the snake. Great ride.
Hey that road looks like it'd be a great one for somebody is not really good on riding yet
After getting the message from Memphis Mike about this road I'm all excited about getting up here in writing it makes me want to go up that way and find a campground to stay a couple of days and do it
Thank you Memphis Mike
I went in 2019 it's well worth the time! I'm coming from the NC side so I went to Bristol and back home. We eat in Mountain city, TN then went to Bristol.
Man such a great run either way for sure!
Ridden it many times. The last time, I had the pleasure to meet a young lad driving a Saturn, all the way in my lane, midway through a turn.
So, squids are not exclusive to the Dragon.
My favorite is the Rattler, running south from Hot Springs NC. Almost no traffic at all.
Thats a great run.
I led a group ride on 421 years ago and stopped at the Shady Valley Country store. Nice ride. Try Hwy 116 to Brushy Mtn. prison, lots of curves and good mountain scenery.
Oh yeah. Devils triangle! Been there done that a few times. Challenging for sure!
Yes, very jealous. Doesn't get any flatter than South Carolina.... lol
bryan brooks the upstate of S.C. Has some great, and decidedly not flat, roads. I love riding from Western N.C. Into S.C and back.
Yes I'm jealous I live in north Mississippi we have few good roads in the Pickwick Savanah area but nothing that good.
4:35 Jack's corner. A fun curve. :)
Can you show how you mounted your camera?
