Thanks man I don't think a lot people read my explanation on the angle of the shot. Not to mention there are two wide lanes on the left side, as well a very clear view on the approaching corner. I didn't go into the corner on that side but I guess that what some people are assuming with the angle of the picture. I have to wait until I get home but I'll post the high res shots up by tonight.

It doesnt matter if jesus was your passenger telling you the turn was clear, you practice how you play. Nice shots though.

No, I wasn't crossing lines at the dragon. Saluda is close to Hendersonville and not too far from Asheville. Its a ways from TN but real close to the SC border. I live in SC and it only takes me around 25 minutes to get there. Once again guys, I didn't go into the corner on that side, I prefer not to play chicken. I still had a ways before setting up for the turn, the shot is just deceptive but by all means flame on

Ha! Yep I'm sure I wasn't in Lovers leap. Never been there, is it cool? I usually do my "joy" riding in NC.

Its all good fun your friend on his bike becomes your unwilling passanger, along with his bike. I have personally seen bikes get hit head on by immature boy ricers (those here stating "its all in good fun") and its not ****in pretty. Maybe i can get my friend who has been through that to come on here and you guys can tell him about how its "all in good fun."

The Meadows of Dan/Galax/Fancy Gap area makes for some killer driving. Nice to know someone on here is from big bad B-Town!
