Tail of the Dragon: America's 318-Curve Motorcycle Killer

Tail of the Dragon: America's 318-Curve Motorcycle Killer 318 curves. 11 miles. US Route 129 at Deals Gap isn't just a road—it's a pilgrimage site for motorcyclists worldwide, and a graveyard for those who underestimate it. Every year, over 250,000 riders travel to the Smoky Mountains to conquer the Tail of the Dragon. But this legendary stretch of asphalt claims lives regularly, with an estimated 3-5 fatalities annually and dozens of serious injuries. The "Tree of Shame," adorned with destroyed motorcycle parts from crashes, grows larger every season. This documentary reveals why riders keep coming despite the danger, how an entire economy thrives on both the thrill and the carnage, and what makes these 11 miles so deadly that even experienced motorcyclists don't make it out unscathed. From the photographers who capture every rider to the emergency services who know each curve by number, this is the complete story of America's most dangerous motorcycle road. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Introduction: The Numbers That Define It 1:30 - The Pilgrimage: Why 250,000 Riders Come Here 3:15 - Kill Boy: The Photography Industry Built on Danger 4:45 - The Tree of Shame: Where Destroyed Bikes Go 6:00 - What Makes It So Deadly 7:30 - The Body Count: Why The Numbers Are Hidden 9:00 - Law Enforcement & The Unwritten Rules 10:15 - The Business of Death 11:30 - Why They Keep Coming Back
