2010 Solstice/Sky at the Dragon

U.S. 129 a.k.a. "The Dragon" is a road connecting Tennessee and North Carolina. A favorite of motorcylists & sports car drivers, it has 318 hairpin turns & switchbacks in 11 miles, making it one of the most challenging roads to ride in North America, let alone the world. Thousands of motorcyclists & sports car owners flock here each summer to conquer the dragon, and pump millions of dollars into to local economies of both states. Sometimes, tractor trailers mistakingly get on this road, not realizing they cannot stay in their lanes, and all hell can break loose during motorcycle season. This video is footage was shot in 2006 at The Dragon, many of you have seen the first video from this footage called "TRUCKS ON THE DRAGON" on YouTube.It has been re-edited into a 60 second argument against allowing 18-wheelers on this road.

things are pretty clear after view the video. It is not dangerous only for bikers, but for all dragon tail users.
