i saw a valkyrie doing  wheelie... on tv love it

[Mongo]

Valk wheelie at the end of the Trail of Dragon part

[T-Bird]

i saw a valkyrie doing  wheelie... on tv love it

I saw that too Eric....looked like your little buddy Gorden

[HayHauler]

I think you're right there T-bird. It was sure looked like Gordon to me.  Did anyone DVR it so they can slow down that part and see if there are any identifying markings on the wheelie Valk?

I Saw it too.

He never misses a chance to wheelie his monster motorcycle.

Now that it is classified as a Hell Road, it has been given imortal status as a road too tough even for

Killboy.com. He and Laurie won't even ride it except in a sports car.

What a road baby, spread my ashes on the overlook when I go.

But I will be buried somewhere else, I will just leave the ashes of burnt motorcycle tread on the Dragon.



This pic is Taken by a man who is afraid to ride the road himself, Killboy.

A little known fact that was let out on the discovery channel.

I plan on going to the Dragon this year.  This will be my first time.  Can't decide when though, March, April, or May.  I have a ride planned to see my sister in South Carolina.  I already have a half way decent idea of my route.  I already saw the show, Hell Road.  When I saw the Dragon, I almost killed myself to get to the living room to see and record it.  Thank God for the invention of DVR.  It looks awesome.  Can't wait.  I 20 to Birmingham to see the scooter museum, then the back roads to Cotaco Alabama to my old school, then to Lacy Springs to were we used to live, up to the Dragon then to the Smokeys and then down to Greer SC.  I may also go to the Snake, but not too sure yet on that one.    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

that is a Valkyrie doing a wheelie at the end!!  COOL!!

[MP]

I wondered too, but I believe Joe has a Mack, and the one in the pic was a Peterbilt.

Hey Alph Many thanx for posting the show. Not on our Canuck Discovery. Good watch.
Thanx Chrome

[Karen]

Wasn't on here in MA either, got the one about Bolivian roads, will watch all that was posted here, thanks, I was really disappointed when I went to watch the DVR.

[Jess from VA]

For any who missed it, it's on again 4 Feb @ 1PM.

[olddog1946]

That was interesting to watch. Might have missed the Valk doing the wheelie if I hadn't been watching for it..and I too, wondered if that was Joe driving the lowboy..I'm sure he knows better than most the havoc a big rig causes on that road, so probably not him.

[HayHauler]

Joe has a picture of his Mack on the Dragon...  I thought I saved that one, but can't find it...

He will pipe in when he sees this.

That Interstate on the show had pod lights ....The black one Gordon had did not.I took the first picture out in front of Deal's Gap Store...Gordon pulled the wheelie before I was ready  ???



Lucky 13 , Smokin'joe and Duffy....On the rear bike is Duffy the picture was taken just seconds before he passed me...That bike is also what would become my blue " BADMOJO " several months down the road....Killboy's caption for the picture below was " Team Valkyrie " .

[LadyDraco]

Hmmm ... We also thought it was Gordon on his Blue/Silver bike.. It had a cut down shield...
I wonder who it was  ???

[Gryphon Rider]

here you go Gryph, just for you!!  (i was up trying to get it down but my PC locked up!!)
that is a Valkyrie doing a wheelie at the end!!  COOL!!

I appreciate it alph.  Who knows when that might be shown on Discovery Channel Canada.

No pod lights on his blue/silver either 

[Karen]

I stand corrected, the Dragon was later in the program thought all the roads were awe-inspiring!!

[Jess from VA]

Yeah, interesting.  I would not drive anything with four wheels on most of those Chinese, Tibetan, or South American roads.  I'm not even sure I would walk them.  And the only way I would ride in a bus on them is if I was drugged unconscious and tied down.  LOL

Have yet to ride the Dragon, but that will happen.

i can't believe that those people STAYED on the bus while the driver attempted to make that turn!!  i'd be walking!!

@3:10 is the 'Money Shot' !!!  

That's an ACE Tourer. Check out the brake light, it's wide, rather than narrow.


Thank you also for the links, didn't get it here in Canada (Yet).
