Any of you ever been to Deals Gap if not your should make plans for a road trip.  The best roads I have riden and the nicest people to boot.  Every one there was nothing but freindly and helpful.  A great motorcycle community.   Anyway here is a short video from my last trip to the dragon.  Video was takin form the front fork of my GS500f the tank of my buddies ZX-6R and the tail of my other buddies VZ-800.  we only had one camera and this is my first attempt at video editing so be nice and thanks for watching.

Looks like yall had a good time to.  Maybe next year I can meet up with yall there. 

dude as an expert roadracer and someone who has ridden the dragon many times you continue to ride the street like this and you will get hurt or die  you crossed the center line so many times i lost count the dragon claims many lives every year.not trying to bust your bubble but take it to the track ride the streets fast but smart run a fast pace that involves no centerline crossings.

Poo poo....

His bike, his life. I'm sure he knows that riding all fast makes highsides/lowsides/collisions happen. You might get lucky, you might not.

Personally I don't cross the center line (except when some arsehole doesn't use the turnouts) but I always remember, for every action there is a consequence, some good some bad... Then I ask myself if I'm OK with that.

he did that many times? i didn't see all that. what i saw a lot of video shot from his buddies tank "the tank of my buddies ZX-6R" There were some shots of him from behind, but to me it looked like he put in the same clip of his bike twice.

It looked like the footage of your friend on his 6R was sped up a lot of times- what's up with that? I've seen lots of videos of people dragging knees through the dragon... the timing on that video looked fake. Also, he was blatently crossing the centerline which will eventually get him killed.
I didnt really see you crossing th centerline on the GS; I did see a lot of wobbling and line adjustments through each turn. I dont know how long you've been riding; but you want to be smoooooth, not standing the bike up so much in the turn. rather than take the turn once, it looks like ur breaking one turn up into about 5 little turns. just something to keep in mind...

yea, smooth is good

i'm really not trying to rag on him i know how fun it is but the dragon thinks your delicious and crunchy and WILL eat you if you act squidly enough.

we all start some were. take the advice any one gives you and use it.

nice footage, great road wish the roads here were as good quality as that nice and smooth with most Aust roads motorcross experience helps
I can understand speeding the footage up as video cameras at standard recording speed never give the feeling of real speed as you really only get a third of the vision through the camera then when normal riding I know some footage I have taken while going quick still looks like a slow quite ride and the footage becomes dull by speeding it up it gives you the sense of speed you had when filming it, but a little  advise when you edit make sure you slow down the speed of the film when pulling in somewhere as that just ends up showing you sped it up and looks silly when people are running past you when they seem to be walking.
Oh yeah watch crossing those lines very big ouch factor
