  • Yellow Wolf at Deals Gap

    If you guys have dropped in at Deals Gap this year you have noticed a Yellow Gold Wing running or at the store.

    He has been there video taping people running the gap. Then he sells the video to you. He can follow or you can follow him.... which ever you want.

    Just recently he did a 1000 miles at the gap in 24 hours

    Here is a quote from a Post on the FJR site.

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    I RODE 106 ONE WAY RUNS AT DEALS GAP,STORE TO OBERLOOK AND BACK!!! ON A GL1800!!

    ok its the facts time!!!

    tires are still good,they were new--metz rear"60" and avon front

    brakes were new,oil and rear changed

    1001.7 miles"real"

    55.69 gal of fuel

    high mpg 22.8
    low mpg 19.28

    6 witnesses

    slowest riding lap time 15.00 min.

    fastest lap time and personal best 11:30 at 8pm after 2 hrs of riding

    had 1/4 steel plates on my foot pegs,yes i need to make another set,lol

    iba---i knew the would not do this why and agree with why!
    the speed limit was 55 a few short yrs ago but was lowered for reasons that anyone knows,the n.c. side is still 55mph so?

    i have no problem with mike kneebone,thanks for the kind words

    now to safety

    i picked tues-wed due to the low traffic

    no tickets,in fact never saw an leo

    not one complaint lodged at the store for my riding"people know where to complain"

    not one crash there for that 24hrs,this surprized me

    the ride was uneventful really,just clicked off lap after lap,got cold at 6 am or so,one trailer truck but thats it really!

    thanks again for the folks that helped me they made the ride easy!!

      EASY !! easy??? I was believing every word until "easy".
      May be easy now looking back now, but 16, 18, 20 hours into it...whew.
      Do not forget that stopping for fuel, sitting still really slows average speed. Even a gold wing could get uncomfoprtable grinding the pegs off for that long.

      What does this guy do when he rides hard?

      Happy motoring.

      Why did the chicken cross the road?
      To show the 'possoms that it COULD be done.
      It is a great big beautiful world out there
