That guy is an accident waiting to happen. He represents one of my worst fears on roads like the Dragon. And it’s not like he accidentally went over the line. He kept doing it. Luck and stupidity are not a good match. Stupidly always wins out in the end. At least, nobody got hurt THIS TIME. Thanks for sharing the video. Definitely a good lesson for how not to ride the Dragon.

Best part is, you barely had to put any effort into keeping up with him. That squid is not only a danger, he's also slow as shit.

Wow. That guy won't last long, and will likely take someone out with him...

The irony is that he kept crossing the line because he was leaning too much and going too slow. I guess he's a moto racer in his dreams. But not in reality.

They guy isnt even getting low enough to have his knees out 😂

Its ok to be a bad rider. Everyone starts out as a bad rider. Whats important is to not think you are a good rider until you really are. This guy didn't get the memo.

this is hilarious, you are keeping the revs down and putting along while he is leaning into the corners and trying to drag his knee and be all racy lmao... and you keep up with him just fine without working hard

I give you credit for one thing... You're single cylinder "enduro" bike did a damn good job hanging with him up until he made that very illegal pass on the Lincoln. I've been on the "Dragon" many times and I can tell you from experience that it is a great equalizer. I have "chased" many very very fast sport bikes and hung right there with them until the end when the road straightens out ... in my Volvo.

He's obviously a new rider and anytime you go out on a road like this you have to watch out for those types more than anyone else.

I have been lucky so far knock on wood, several trips to the Dragon and never had someone in my lane coming around a corner like that. It’s funny how he was leaning off like he was at the track and it sounds like you were just out having a relaxing ride and caught right up to him...

I recently rode the dragon on my Goldwing. For the first (and last) time. Too many fools on it ! You can be riding responsibly and doing everything right and have your life taken by some moron that thinks this road is his/her personal racetrack.

I rode it this weekend for the first time. Had a great time!

I keep seeing reasons to never ride the dragon. Just too many idiots. I do like however how you were basically making a sandwich and taking it very easy yet he was obviously riding beyond his limit.

Riders like that are all over. The most you can do is hope one doesn't connect with you. That close call when he crossed over the line was pucker factor 10, but I would advise that you not chase someone like that. That kind of numbskull will either take it as a challenge and ride more recklessly to "beat" you (and you don't want to be caught up in litigation as a participant in an illegal race should he wipe out and injure someone), think you are following to harass and ride recklessly to get away from you, or think you are following to harass and ride recklessly to put space between other traffic and the two of you before pulling over and turning violent. Neither outcome is a good one, neither outcome will undo the close shave, and he will not learn a lesson until he brings the consequences upon himself. You have a record of his dangerous close call and you caught his plate. That's when you back off and give law enforcement a call. Trying to "teach this dumb kid a lesson" via ass-kicking - as one brilliant commenter hoped - will not only NOT teach him a lesson, but physical assault carries a far stiffer penalty than reckless riding. He gets a ticket, you go to jail. No winners, there.

What a TOOL! I wish you had a good visual of his plate. ✊👊

I was waiting for an ass chewing at the end, it would had been totally deserving.

After about a half a dozen times riding the Dragon myself, with too many experiences just like this one, I now avoid it and don't recommend it to anyone. It draws too many people who want to prove something or challenge themself beyond their limits. If you do want to go I suggest you stay away from the weekends and schedule it for very very early in the morning.

lets face it, we have all made a mistake and crossed the line once or twice. But this dude has absolutely no clue and is a danger to everyone.

Pretty brave cutting the car at the end into that blind right hander. I mean, he's better than all of us in that sense lol.

Looks like a first year rider in a hurry to get to the scene of the fatality so he can become the next statistic. That's not an award you want. Take another MSF course, listen this time, and save racing for a track day.

Hope you were able to get a plate number! That guy was nuts!

This is why I don't even go on the Dragon anymore. Too many idiots on crotch rockets thinking it's a damn race track. Really takes the fun out of it. Slow down and enjoy the ride!

That fool had to have an angel riding on his shoulder that's the reason I don't like to drive the dragon anymore

Glad he didn't hurt anybody. Dude was really close to clipping you when he came over the line, it's a shame you didn't catch him and tell him how stupid he is.

You were riding at like 25% effort and keeping up easily with douchebag riding as hard as he could. He's going to kill some poor guy riding down minding their own business.

I don't want to see anyone hurt, but if guys like that wreck their bikes, I'm fine with that!

Everyone starts at some point as new rider, but you need to know the basic rules 1st. Never cross your line ever,you are putting your life and most important another person life in risk focus on the road . 2nd respect your engine it doesn't matter how big your engine is 125cc to 1300cc . 3rd do not try to push your limits way over to your riding skills. Learn and practice before you over push your limits 4th respect the other riders space . Follow these rules and you will not have a Fked up day. Always ride safe and enjoy your day !!!!

I see a Darwin Award in someone's near future! That U-turn was a little risky, otherwise, great job!!!

DO NOT GO THERE IN THE SUMMER. Its a circus and is dangerous. Wait until that crappy resort on the southern end closes for the season. Then you can go there an enjoy a great Fall ride without as many yahoos on the road.

This bike sounds great!

The guy in front should have put milk on his cornflakes instead of vodka!

And bikers get mad when they almost smash into our cars. Just bc your bike is still in your lane, doesn't mean you body is. Leaning like that gets you killed.

he's not even going that fast and he's all over the road.

Until he learns to take a corner......that guy should be restricted to 250cc’s. 😑

I’m guessing this is why the last time I was there, North Carolina and Tennessee cops were everywhere.

These guys are totally idiots. I've ridden the dragon multiple times and just about every time you see someone riding like this. He's a danger to all of us.

Empty parking lots with a couple of cones goes along way

I'ts clearly yammie noob I recognise the riding skills

Those solid lines in the center of the road?? Just optional!

He was riding with his ego..because skills are yet to be acquired...

Natural selection

All the body positioning, none of the lean angle 😂

Yes, that guy is what gives Bikers a bad reputation. And why insurance is so high

he wont last very long. Doesn't know the basics and is trying to ride way too aggressive.

I've only been to the Dragon once, and there was someone on an Aprilia who just couldn't wait to pass me and the bike I was behind, and never alerted that they were there (in which case, maybe traffic would have moved off for them. The double crosses just...I don't know. Somebody ought to just hang out on the side and ding tennis balls off the helmets of people who pull this stuff. GO TO TRACK.

Me for safety ride with 'L' infront of a visor🤭😂😂😂

I wonder if the other noob that pulled over was with him or trying to race. Dumbass was scared to death trying to get away from almost clipping you. The Dragon is my Mecca. I always complete the blueridge pkwy and ride the Dragon every year. Ride Safe Dude.

We were on the dragon back in August, every time we rode it someone crossed the line on us, that's on weekdays,,,, I won't be riding it on a weekend

Rode it just a few weeks ago. Been on it a dozen times or so seen plenty of people down and 2 ambulances doing a pick up. This last time I had a dude on a full dress HD come around the corner in my lane. I avoided hitting him and I ride Victory Magnum which is a big machine itself. Had my girlfriend on the back also. I believe our next ride will be too the Back of the Dragon in Virginia. Idiots like this Dbag are the reason I'm done with it. ✌️

That bike sounds like my old mini bike I had when I was first starting out.

I think I could pass that guy... On my bicycle.

I've not ridden the dragon, I was thinking about doing it as its only 3 hrs. ride from me. When I see stuff like that, I think maybe I shouldn't.

i have no words

I always worry about idiots crossing the line

Supermoto bike put-putting along is way faster

So is the dragon for sight seeing or pretending you are fast and furious? They need to set aside given days a year for the flat track wannabees.

When we got to the bottom, I would have definitely told that guy he didnt know shit about riding.

My bad, sorry. I've improved since this guy filmed my ass.

Sometimes,video should be enough for a ticket..

So you cut an illegal you turn and drive just as bad to try to catch up to him passing people and crossing the double yellow line numerous times yourself?

That guy alone, gives vad rep to all bikers!

That guy is a jerk and a terrible rider but don't all the people you passed while keeping up with him think the same of you (minus the terrible rider part )?

He watched to many Need for Speed games.

That kind of selfish riding really pisses me off.

His counter balance is so far off. Surprisingly he didn't wipe out earlier.

Hey mate, do you authorize me to use your video in one of my editions? I leave the name and link in the description. Thank you for your attention !

Was that a blue light I saw as he passed the car at the end?

that was way to close for comfort at any speed! He knew y'all were behind him too, he was just to chickens*#t to pull over & admit his mistake

What are the odds that he has crashed that bike since this video?

shocking riding

Cool chase video. Please stop shaking your head when you disapprove of another rider or driver's actions. You are giving some of us motion sickness and we have to turn you off. Are there motorcycle only days on the dragon? I want to drive this road in my Golf R the next time I am passing through.

Wow I seen some stupid video rides on the Dragon. This one is one on my top Dumb Ass rides. He will not live that long doing stupid shit like that. Sonya and I was on vacation going on the Dragon and a Goldwing rider almost kissed my front left finder of my car a few years ago. When we travel in the car we stay on the right side on the white line away from the double yellow line almost in the grass on those blind curves. I ride a Honda Goldwing as well. My channel has a video of that. Great video man a good lesson on how not to ride on US129.

I was hoping he was going to crash so you could tell him while he's down that he should just stay there.

Crossing the center lines on that road is an asshole thing to do. It puts everyone else at risk instead of just you as a bad rider.

there are TONS of equally beautiful roads to ride in east TN / western NC, SKIP this one

Well, did you ever catch him and confront him about it?

That guy is living in a fantasy. He wont last long. 50 pencing ballbag.

Was this taken last year or just posted last year ?

Kept up with him on a thumper

Why were the "Wings (?) dragging their trailers along? It's only 11 miles. Park the trailers and go ride the Dragon.

You should of stuffed him in the corner dirt bike style. Haha

I have wanted to ride the dragon ever since I got my bike 7 years ago. Since i am an experienced rider now, I just never got around too it as it is a little bit away and thing have come up. I want to go in 2017. I live in Ga, so i should be able to. I have been watching videos about the Dragon and am disappointed but not surprised by what I have seen as far as some riders being idiots and endangering others. I ride just to ride and enjoy the scenery. Do you folks think that a week day is better to ride it or is it pretty much the same? My concern is a jackass hitting me from behind or like this poor chap "Wicked Jester" almost getting a head on. Jester, were you able to catch up or get that assholes tag?

If you had been in a car when that clown crossed over he may have been look for a new bike.

oh hell naw now I know not to go there. dude was horrible

that Kat needs to be throwed under the jail

Sooner OR Later It will get him!

Was he from Georgia. Man I have a video following some guy, looks like same bike and same attempts to drag knee lol

Euro showing how its done..hes not even going fast enough to be riding like that

Lmao you’re just cruising behind this cone who acts like he’s running the TT

You don´t ride that kind of road, if you have at least 4cyl....

last one is awful. i can't ride there without fright because of these guys.

What is the tail of the dragon?

Organ donor waiting to happen

Most be trying to make a maxwrist video

Where was the crash? What did the other rider do wrong? Passing?

wow that guy is horrible

Wat too much lane crossing

Daft thing is he thinks he's a good rider. As they say all the gear and no idea.

i was wanting to ride that next year. to anyone whose rode it hows the road feel, is it smooth like a highway or different. i've rode on roads that make it feel like i have knobby tires and it looks like asphalt. if it rides like that i don't want to waist the trip.

nothing special + poor skilz
