Hey guys,
I visited the tail of the dragon this week for the second time, first time with my S550. My friend Brian joined with his "twin" S550 and we met up with the Saleen Club of America for some awesome driving! If you like mustangs, mountains, and awesome roads I hope you'll enjoy watching! :ford:

What's the speed limit on that road?

We have a similar road here, called Sky Line Drive, but it's all 35MPH.

I've been there several times but with my bike. Awesome riding/driving at the Dragon and surrounding roads such as the Cherohala Skyway

It's been a few years since i've been there but i think it was like 35 mph. Lots of Tenn state troopers that like to sit on corners running radar.

Great video. Did you take the drone shots or did killboy help out? I'm only 2.5 hours away from dragon so I get to enjoy the dragon several times a year(mustang and bike). Before they prohibited large trucks from that part of 129 you might of had a interesting encounter....potentially deadly. WNC has lots of fun roads, one of my favorites closer to me is NC 151 off the BRP.

Lmao, you look like a older version of Canadian snowboarder Sebastien Toutant.
Yes I snowboard so I know the boarders.

It's 35 on the Dragon too... I've been on Skyline Drive many times and it is nothing like the Dragon. The Dragon keeps coming at you relentlessly. You have loads of time to think on the Skyline Drive - and no, I don't mean at 35MPH. Funny story. A friend and I arrived on sportbikes at the Southern end of the Skyline Drive at 5:45AM on Easter Sunday. About 10 miles in we passed the police car coming in the other direction. There could only be one at 6AM on Easter morning, right? A couple of miles after the flats, the other police car caught us on radar at some improbable speed. Who did they expect to catch on Easter Sunday Morning?

All the footage is mine, definitely had some close calls and saw some things while I was up there. Lane splitting is not cool on that road.
