Deals Gap will re-open 4/12

I rode the gap for the first and last time 2 years ago on a ducati monster. I managed to get down there on a couple of week days so it wasn't too bad. It was fun and novel. The bike was perfect for the road and the road is great but I agree the surrounding area, the foothills parkway and such are better albeit faster.

I had never ridden on the track at that time and there were a couple guys on race bikes running slicks. Local racers guys. I thought that was pretty cool at the time but in retrospect I much prefer the track. This was the first time I'd ridden a bike and blistered the tires though.

It is what it is I guess. You can find similar if not better roads all over WV though although with out all the commercialization.

 

Boo on intrawebz.. That place is like a frickin carnival....

 

Guys with **matching** black cars are HOMOSEXUALS, (or they are WANTING to be.) ....please, don't insult my Girlie White F150.

...the fastest group at the gap. Has a private driveway attached to it.
...and, run it at night. :up: when they are invisible

I heard that too!! :up: I also heard TDOT may continue cutting grooves in the center yellow (the ones that act as a warning if you cross the center) from the Chilhowie Dam towards Deal's Gap.

 

Years ago I was riding my VFR through there at night and actually had a bear run across in front of me.

 

Did you ask him where he shits so we can finally put that issue to rest?

PASS........

 

heading North, just past the overlook during the day - a Momma bear shuffled across the street in front of a group i was riding with. (I was WeeStrom powerd) A mili-second later - 2 cubs follow her up the steep incline. It was incredible, but she was INTENSELY focused on those little critters safety.
Both lanes of traffic stopped on the occasional busy day. incredible, tho

 

Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort 20 min to go yahhhhhhh. Folks waiting at the store to go. State line is clear of all TDOT trailers and gear.

Sssshhhhh.. about the night racing thing..and the driveway thing..

Locals this early winter when the stores closed(note boarded up windows). And no one on the road. Almost zero crusiers clog'n up the road either.



Some riding the road some the days before the GNF this season to get some more saddle time in. Of course this bike has met its maker since, at Tally recently..

 

Unfortunately theres a WERA sticker on it while buzzing up and down the road.

 

No doubt :down:

I know that guy too. And umm...nevermind.

 

I know you do.

 

that entire night riding thing...I made it up :up:
no racing ever allowed.



Although, @ my next court date: i need a reason why I failed to follow those rules in the daytime. hmmmm...

I'm new here!!

 

Interesting that all of those race bikes have yellow plates and not white plates. Just saying.

 

They no longer allow expert class to run at the gap anymore. But i heard they dont check you if you pull your number plates off

 

There are experts in those pictures, they just chose the more discreet route of leaving the race plastics at home. The problem with that is a massive deduction in poser points when sitting around at the store.
