Just got back from a 1600-mile trip to the mountains of NC, SC and Tenn. Rode the entire Moonshiner 28 from Walhala, SC to Deals Gap and then rode the Dragon out and back. Spent the night at Two Wheel Inn in Robbinsville. Left the next morning for Maggie Valley and Wheels Thru Time Museum and then to Little Switzerland, NC for two days of loop riding there. Then straght back to Jax, Fl in one day...540 miles. Great trip. Bike was awesome and got lots of raves by others who got to ride it as well as strangers at gas stations. Even after 540 miles I was not tired and could have gone another 100 if I had wanted to.

(For some reason, this video starts about 6 minutes into the ride, but you can back it to the start.

Nice! Any idea how close you came to dragging pegs? the bike seems to have a great lean capability.

Great video. I have a video of the Arkansas Dragon here at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxgIqaxDj9c I also have more videos on my channel if you all would like to see them. I have gone on the Pig Trail, and gone to Devil's Den and other places.

Cool videos. Been through there a few times back when I lived on the side of the country. Beautiful area but it can be a mad house at times. Last time I was there was early season still had snow along the Cherohola Skwy. Found a really good BBQ shack on that trip, it was in Townsend I think.

Can you give me all details on whatever setup you are using for video and sound? Quality looks awesome!
