Tail of the Dragon - Going Up
Переглядів 3,4 тис.Місяць тому
A bit of a cautious pace going up, something about leading that makes me dial it back a notch compared to a solo run or following locals. Some really great memories on the "old" pavement, fingers crossed the new surface is good.
this place is wild 😄

One afternoon at the dragon. The traffic, the accidents, the cops, the lost phone 😅 this video has a bit of everything. Thanks to @Antmanmoto for setting the pace and for making all the way from GA to do some riding, we'll ride again soon brother 🍺

This is what happened to my Tuono V4
Переглядів 182 тис.4 місяці тому
Unfortunately my Tuono ownership was short-lived. Good bike with great potential, but the front end did not feel stable even compared to the Speed Triple 1200 which doesn't have a steering damper. The suspension was dialed in (worked great) and the bike had fresh tires. Regardless, this is user error, landing at a slight angle with the brakes partially engaged is never a good practice.

A comfortable pace on a stock engine/exhaust 2016 S1000XR, the modified XR usually cruises in the 2:27 range and occasionally dips in the 2:26s with a best of 2:25.2. Looking forward to trying the S1000R to see if I can best the Speed Triple's 2:24.

    Careful with the HF oil filters or any filter that has that nut on the end. Most race orgs and trackday will not allow them as they break off and leak oil everywhere. For 15 years of racing, I've just run a hose clamp with safety wire over the oil filter and run the safety wire to a bolt to make sure it doesn't move. Some bikes like the ZX10R you can rest the hose clamp against a tab that is on the engine and the oil filter cannot turn until it's removed.

    Sir , we have brand new pavement and its AWESOME! Id love to ride with you sometime, not fast, just an old man having fun! Personally the skyway is my favorite ! Not as many turns but it will make you realize those long sweeping turns and the less traffic will make you smile and grin! I enjoy yr videos but i refuse to even hear or be around Maxi Pad because hes only brought less tallented riders up on the hill to drawn them in to ride over there heads and then he makes money off them crashing. Next time yr in town just ask about Will Rays dad! you may not remember but over 6 years ago Will and i was up there and you were not hurting anyone to get footage for yr channel."Getting schooled on the Dragon by a 16 yr old!

      Phenomenal news and of course I remember! Those were some good times, I have Will on Instagram and he's come a long way from that kid I met back then. We're planning to move closer to the area in the next couple of months, so I'm looking forward to link up for a ride. 🤘

      Ebay, it's just a one piece. Look for S1000XR carbon fiber tail fairing. They're expensive but I think I found one cheap.

    • @CubanRider
      @CubanRider 13 днів тому

      You might pick up a couple of horsepower, but it will throw off the air/fuel ratio and make the bike run lean which is not healthy in the long term.

    I'm curious how well you can wheelie in Dynamic mode?

    • @CubanRider
      @CubanRider 13 днів тому

      It won't let you power wheelie (most of the time), but sometimes you can still clutch it up.

    Probably your best bet work-wise is between Knoxville and Chattanooga if you want to work and live in TN… But, I implore you to wait another two years-the economy is not healthy and they have been propping it up in a big way. I bought my house at the bottom of the last recession-it could be a huge improvement in your future if you wait-everything in life is cyclical and that include housing prices. Sorry about having to sell the XR, I don’t know that I would for how little it would bring.
