Here is a video link to show that in the right hands even a Goldwing can be quite the canyon carver. The camera bike, which I believe is a Goldwing as well, is having a hard time keeping up with this guy.

What he said :)

I have had the chance to tag along on a couple rides here in Houston when Colin Edwards attended riding a Goldwing. With his wife on board he was stuffing up the inside of Gixxer riders :twisted:

It is ALL rider ;)

That looks like Deal's Gap. Think of it like the Nurburgring for street cars and bikes in the USA.

The Tampa Florida Boys only wrecked 6 out of their 9 bikes on a recent visit to the Dragon.
No serious injuries were sustained.
Looks like the Flatlanders need some mountain training before being let out of their cages.
