Riders keeping it between the lines

That video shows a couple of things, that ego is going to get that guy plastered all over the front of some car and that knee down is not a goal. There is no roadcraft, no contingency, just luck. Now that said he is riding fast but so what? most of us could do that or have done that when we were in stupid mode, the guy taking the vid is a better rider IMHO. This Max Wrist guys name is probably referring to his main activity which is the 5 knuckle shuffle and "I did 2 minutes at COTA" is more meaningless fluff for simple minds. Lap time is evidence of where you are at as you apply your skills, and it's not a goal, its a result. May as well all stand around and be "Max Wrists" and flop out your dicks and have pissing matches
 
So much can go wrong that it's scary to think about. Regardless of how fast he or anyone is riding those roads, you're not riding on a one way road. No matter how careful you are, you can't control oncoming traffic who are there trying to do the same thing. Go wide n drift into your lane, lowside on oil or debris, no run off space with nothing but trees and/or missing guardrails. Not a whole lot of room for errors and just one can be fatal. While those roads look super fun to ride, I'd be at the end of the pack every time. I'm already a slow rider but those kinds of roads are the last place I'd want to push limits, bike or car. Similar to those idiots who try to max out in "mexico" and/or in the middle of the night on the freeways.

This 100%
 
I was at the Dragon last Saturday. I saw a few more memorials than the month before. And I came across a wreck where the rider had road rash and the pillion had a broken leg. Like Tom said, there’s better similar roads in the area. This past Saturday was the most crowded that I’ve seen it.

There are better road I personally like the moonshiner and a plus was the bbq down in Georgia. The Smokey mountains also but don’t get caught speeding in there they hit my friend with a class b felony cost him a pretty penny to get out of that one
 
So its not true that there are only two bike roads in the US, the dragon and that other one on SoCal where all the riders fall off on the left hander
 
A B felony for speeding? FFS how fast was he going?

ETA: I think it was maybe a D felony. The super short version is that generally categories or degrees of crimes are divided by the proposed (typically max) sentence. A B felony in Georgia is 10 years. I doubt anyone gets the full 10 years without aggravating factors.

In which state was your buddy caught? Or was it a federal charge?
 
A federal charge for speeding? I'm aware of no federal law (Title 18) which would codify speeding as an offense. Maybe there's something for Indian reservations, I'm not sure.
