He barely missed the motorcyle in the other lane. That guy is a dumbass. That would be cool if the road wasn't busy, but it was busy.

After hearing the comments at the end of the video, I wonder if the guy on the motorcycle knew the owner of the Cobra.

That's the infamous "Tail of the Dragon". Wiki it.

Deals Gap is a popular and internationally famous destination for driving enthusiasts (of motorcycles and sports cars), as it is located along a stretch of two-lane road known as "The Dragon" or the "Tail of the Dragon".[2] The 11-mile stretch of the Dragon in Tennessee is said to have 318 curves.

Deals Gap is a portion of U.S. Route 129 in Blount County, Tennessee, which also lends its name to a small unincorporated community and motorcycle resort situated in a gap in Swain County, North Carolina, United States. It is located along U.S. 129 at the Tennessee state line.
God, one day.

There have been 31 deaths since 1995. That is an average of 2 per year. That is actually not bad at all when you consider how many bikes travel through that area in a given day. Most of the time it is accidents and not fatalities on that road. I was there in 2007, the weekend before the police presence started. The weekend I was there was the weekend all 3 deaths happend in that year. Started with 1 thursday and 2 friday. We had two guys in our group go down that weekend as well, one from a car crossing the double yellow around a curve and forced my friend on his bike into the mountain. The other was a bad portion of road that launched my friend off his bike into a ditch. Both survived.
