Tuono V4 Factory 1100 Crashes at The Dragon

We had a decent run going on until the guy on the other Tuono went down. We were almost at the end of the second run I did with this group when it happened. Thankfully no one was injured and we were able to joke about it at the end.

I say this with peace and love, if you or anyone you know wants to do riding like this, twisty narrow roads full of traffic and other bikes, please take the time and educate yourself a bit on what it is you're attempting. You can do that by buying a copy of my riding bible....the extremely effective book
"Sport Riding Techniques" by Nick Ienatsch. Nick used to race AMA 250 2 strokes back in the 90's and hes now the head of the Yamaha Champ School. He knows what it takes and can convey it in a way the rider can understand and impliment. I have read his book a good dozen times and refer back to it regularly.

I referred the book to this guy, he has been riding only a few months although he was riding pretty good for being that new! If he stays w it he will be a damn good fast rider....he just needs some technique.

Anyway this was my first run with a group at the Dragon on this trip and with the new repave. I know it wasn't the fastest, (I like the pace to be a bit hotter than this) but it was still enjoyable enough. The road is pretty grippy already....hopefully it lasts a bit.
Enjoy the ride on 2 wheels at the new and improved Tail of the Dragon!
