Had a nice ride through the Tail of Dragon last week. It was 75 degrees and almost no traffic. How about posting your favorite Dragon pictures.

Is that a Go Pro on a suction mount on your fairing? How secure is it and how are the video's coming from that location?

Yes it is and it worked out very well. I used the water proof housing so there is not much audio, but not a lot of wind noise either. I am very happy with the set up. I normally do not mount it there but tried it for the dragon and it gives a great perspective of the bike leaning and represents a similar view of the driver.

Planning on riding the Dragon this summer and have been considering buying one of the Go Pro units. I'm just afraid the shaking from the big cammed 103 will make the video unwatchable.

Yep, I was at the Tail of the Dragon last year at the end of August when you were there.

All I can say is that you and your BSR were "Carving" the TOD like a well tune surfboard!!!!

You can really scoot hard with the trailer on the back!

thanks i have the best bsr that there is. she loves riding like that( as you can see by the smile on her face). not many roads like that here in the houston area so when we find some the fun begins. i call it "spirited riding" and a group we went to arkansas with on memorial day called it "riding with purpose". either way it is a blast to me. this was at the end of a 6150 mile trip that began by heading to sturgis. 15 days of fun.. gotta love it!!!
