On Friday, June 19, I rode my '84 Goldwing down to Atlanta for a meeting with Steve Burge from JoomlaTraining.com.  I am doing Joomla training with them in Cincinnati, Denver, New York and Toronto in the fall.

My '84 Goldwing - Buffalo River, Jasper AR - 04/09

I decided, more at the last minute, to take Hwy 129 down from Knoxville on my way to Atlanta.  It adds a bunch of time, but I was hoping it would be fun.  What I didn't realize, was that the route I chose was the world famous Dragon's Tail (http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ - retailer nearby).  318 curves in 11 miles... insane!!!

Here's the video I shot - about 2/3 of it... lots of fun...  only one close call :)

 

Warning:  REALLY bumpy - sorry - this is totally amateur... I used a flexible tripod with no stabilization - wrapping the legs around my windsheild mount.  Also - this is shot through the windshield... (it gets better about 1/2 way through)... but enjoy if you wish!

Rod, This sort of reminds me of the driving in Trinidad, expect your road is much wider and smoother. Do tell about Joomla Training in Toronto!
