Here's a video that Centerline shot when he rode his TW across Deal's Gap. I thought the Lil' Mule put up a pretty good showing. Remember it has the big knobby tires on it.

"...there were 2 Sheriffs and 3 unmarked white SUVs and a dark blue some LEO official SUV most of the day."

JB lad,

Some wonderful shots of the stinking days I missed by leaving on Sunday. Go ahead and make me feel bad. :icon_redface:

Oh well, there is always next year. :remybussi:

jb,

Great video !
Centerline did a fine job on his TW taming the Dragon.
Thanks for sharing his ride with us.

Lots of LEOs there when we rode it.

Coming from the land-o-no-real-curves, that was pretty danged impressive. Of course the TW200 is a well known street fighter.

I'd have loved it if the video showed him take a H-D on the inside of a curve..... or hated to have a video of him passing my R1150R in the same curve.:icon_redface:

That's like riding a donkey in a horse race !
Just kidding, I love TWs. Wish I had one to ride around my acreage.

Jeeeez, the TW gets no respect! ;-)

Centerline said that he could easily keep up with the faster bikes on the turns. It was on the short uphill straights that they pulled away.

On Deal's gap it's not top speed that's important, it's how good you are in the turns.

A lot like 337 in the Hill Country b/w Vanderpool and Leakey.
