Twisty Western NC Daydride

Post by LeeDavis »

EOM attendees know western NC has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to twisty roads. Here's a segment of Double Island Rd near Burnsville, NC. No sweat for Yamaha to hold it's own in fast company. I'm the bike in front of the camara, lead bike is a 165hp BMW S1000 R and the camera is mounted to a 400hp Focus RS.

Best viewed full screen with one of the HD "Settings".

Embarrassment is right. I recognize the road, but not the pace. :D

Awesome video Lee.

Great riding, I could watch this all day long. Western NC is the best the east coast has to offer!
