jc052685 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 i am not sure i get it, i mean i see the sign and I get they are in the wrong lane but are they in like J-pan or were they realy in the incorrect lane? Just can me slow. now that i look closer it look like that is a come "bike" road that bikers will cut corners on or apex the turn. looks like the othe people are just telling everyone they are in the wrong lane. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 it's deal's gap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deals_Gap the cruiser dude, like many others, can't go around corners properly, so they cut over into oncoming lane because they lack skill/equipment to go quickly enough and maintain travel in hte correct lane. sport bike guys are making fun of him (and others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Wrong lane, but definitely the faster line....unless there is oncoming traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I love that road. Even through the two "getoffs" I had there, my bike and I stayed in the correct lane. Go to http://killboy.blogspot.com or killboy's site, http://www.killboy.com to see more pictures like that. There are mostly just good shots of bikes and cars zooming through there, but they also are sure to take pictures of people crossing lanes, cars leaking oil, 18-wheelers trying to make it through The Dragon (Deal's Gap), etc. I've come around that particular corner at ~50mph. Those people wouldn't have been able to move in time if I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 It may be funny picture but its a serious problem up there. Thats exactly how bikers die every year...but i guess thats evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Looks alright to me, he's keeping left but isn;t that in the US where you drive on the wrong side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 That's a good picture, funny but serious at the same time. I worry about that when I'm in my cage, and traveling some twisty roads around here. There is one especially that's not all that twisty, but the bends and twists that is does have are pretty fun and even better if you could cut the corners, probably is that half the corners crest hills or are blind. So I always stay in my lane. I still worry about other drivers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombarace14 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Check out www.tailofthedragon.com there are alot of pics there. I go there a week out of every year. Its not funny at all when youre on the other side of that. It has happend to me quite a few times. I will say that turn in the pic "gravity cavity" is hard to make. If youre going to fast or not on a sport bike. I broke a foot peg going the other direction last year on that turn/dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
