I swear we must be related. I could hang out at the Deals Gap store or on one of the better corners all day long. In addition to being a damn fun road, it's great for people watching, bike watching and bullshitting.

Believe me there is not as much tread as it seems on the right, it was real close to being gone too.

But lefts give cleaner sight lines and are usually taken at higher speed due to the larger radius.

I'd like to go to Deal's Gap sometime in the future just to see everything there. Until then, I think I've discovered a pretty twisty road this past weekend :wink: Check out the bit of asphalt from Prescott, AZ to Jerome, AZ, especially the part that starts at Mingus West - Click here :deal

Agreed on watching the zoo...it's good to go there and kibbitz and talk. I do try to bend through there when traversing, even though I ususally don't even ride the gap...I like the folks.

The guys we're all busting on were the same ones who came and helped me pick my bike up when the center stand broke putting it up for the night...just sayin'.

Folks are cool when ya meet em up close. And who else doesn't want to stay at a place that had to write up a sign like this:

People would spread crap on the walls of the stalls.

I LIVE in the mountains, ride in curves every day and my pilot road 2 tires have 4500 miles on them and still have all kinds of life left in them. Looking at your photo of your bike on a trailer I would suspect either that tire is really old with a lot of miles or is old and has been subjected to parking lot burnouts to show off for the squid crowd. I may be mistaken though lol.

I have been going to the area for several years at least once a year for a week and a half at a time. I always waste at least one to 1-1/2 sets of tires in that time (2500-3000 miles), and have only ridden the GAP once in the last 5 years, and that was to get where I was going, not to ride the road.

Here is a week old Pilot Road 2 at 2700 miles, it was new when I arrived in southern VA, as you can see, plenty of twisties in the area!

Looks as though you like to burn your doughnuts to the left....or you bike's frame has been severely tweaked.
