Looks like a fun road to practice on. Body position definitely makes a big difference in building speed and confidence.

I’m probably going 20 mph in that picture. Tail of the dragon.

I've heard a lot of people crash on that road. But then I am sure a lot of them ride beyond their abilities too. Body position and confidence that you gain from experience would almost double your speed and the grin on your face at the same time. We got some beautiful roads here in the pacific northwest for riding but I would love to ride the tail of the dragon some day.

@kwikrnu, do you live in the area? I'm in Chattanooga, my bike should be here by the 28th from Houston. I traded my Speed Triple R for a 2010.
