skuuter savin' a scooter...video...

This was on Hwy 32 outside Cosby, Tn in the backside of The Smokies. Hwy 32 is a Very Twisty Road similar to The Dragon, but 3 miles longer, and turns to gravel eventually. I went into a tight, 20 mph marked right-hander with pegged throttle around 41 mph on a 50cc Ruckus. I hit wet Pine Tree Sap and pushed the front wheel out...I shoulda' just laid it down, but went on and saved it, standing it up. This let me rim-ride the opposite side of the road. The drop off there is around 1000 feet straight down...definetly a "Toilet Tissue Moment"...:laugh:...for Your Viewing Entertainment.....

This Little Video Clip is from the Fall of 2009, and filmed from the front of a Friend's 50cc Ruckus. The Scooter up ahead of us is a 250 Big Ruckus...due to the very twisty road, we caught it after this "incident" and passed it. Mitzie and I rode the gravel section of this road and one other from Maggie Valley this year during the RALLY IN THE VALLEY IV. This section of paved 32 is how we got back on the Trike.....ThumbUp
