Riding the Dragon (Deal's Gap) on the R2

Trailered my Kawasaki H2 and Kawasaki KZ1000R2 to Deal's Gap to ride the Dragon. The KZ sure is a smooth ride (compared to the H2) however, is a little tricky to manage in the twistys at Deal's Gap. (318 Turns in 11 miles). Also discovered a bad head-shake above 135 MPH and will coasting with hands off the bars Once I get some new tyres and fix the shake, I am sure this bike will handle just fine.

I like H2's with expansion chambers and looong stingers!!!!!

I rode the tail in a 18 wheeler! Talk about a trip. Roy

yeah nice pics and welcome aboard....little more about you and the bikes would be great.....welcome craig

Welcome jaydav...I also see you on the www.KZ1000R.com site :)

Those are 2 beautiful classic Kawasakis you have there

Oh man!...you just made me regret selling the H2 I had back in the 70's! That thing sounded wild with the Wheelsmith chambers on it and the scary power that came on so sudden.

Killboy takes some fine photos too!

I live only about 40 minutes from that road but haven't gotten my KZ over there yet. I have ridden it on my KLR650 many times, including once in a driving rain storm. Talk about having to pry the seat from my butt!

Here's my Killboy photo...
