He's looking at the spot he wants to pee.

I'd love to see the pic after he parked it on the side of the road.
Too funny.

Eee..hopefully not on himself. Maybe the eject function kicked in.

Maybe another DanDanTheFireman Youtube video compilation is going to be made on that guy's mishap.

That road sucks on the weekend. Too many noobs and traffic in general, specially on holiday weekends.... YMMV

Dude slayed the dragon. He rode it during the night time. It was his first time on that road!

Skip to 4:40 and watch from that point on. It's amazing how the worst injury was a busted collarbone and ribs. Could have been much worse.
Looks to me like the Honda Rider went wide and hit the Harley guy. Not much the Harley guy could have done.

Inexperience will bite you on that road... Glad the guy was ok for the most part..

If I ever ride it some time, I'll make sure to go on a weekday and take my time rather than trying to ride like I'm looking for the approval of egomaniacs.

I have ridden the Dragon a few times and the weekend can be ok-ish if you wake up well before the Harley crowd.. 🤣 but weekdays are much much better of course.
It isn't that hard to ride but it does require constant concentration. I prefer the Cherohala Skyway and other roads less travelled in that area..

There's so much other good street riding in WNC I never got the attraction of the dragon when you consider how crowded it often is and the types that show up. When I was a local in Asheville that wasn't the place we went to street ride, we preferred our own loops where there was almost no traffic and definitely no squids. A computer screen is as close as I want to get to most of the riders I see riding in these vids.

I did take a tractor-trailer on it a couple of years before they were banned on the route. I managed to make it through. Definitely shat some bricks along the way. Every time I heard drivers complain about US 411, I would chuckle because the old route between 40 and the Bush Beans plant in Dandridge, TN wasn't anywhere near as gnarly as The Dragon. Old 411 definitely had some tight blind curves but were doable with traffic coming the opposite direction as long as you knew WTF you were doing.
