Any suggestion on taming the Dragon?   Logged     ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL   The administrator has disabled public write access. #376150 SurveyWaters (User) Lucky-Star Expert Boarder Posts: 456 Re:tail of the dragon mishap 1 Year ago   Sorry to here about it man, prayers are with him for a quick recovery. The Dragon is loaded with hair pins and switch backs you can't see around, it's also filled with pull offs. When I am pinned behind some Looky-Lou I pull over and let them go on their merry way, give 'em time to gain some distance then get back to enjoying my ride. Deals gap is loaded with fun rides and beautiful sites, there's no need to rush, let's not add to the tree!   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #376151 SurveyWaters (User) Lucky-Star Expert Boarder Posts: 456 Re:tail of the dragon mishap 1 Year ago   Also, be sure to find Wayah Rd. It's my personal favorite, Dragon's over rated. The area's great not just one road   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #376153 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2378 Re:tail of the dragon mishap 1 Year ago   bikersteve wrote: Glad to hear he is ok. I'm going to Tail of the Dragon in a couple weeks. Any suggestion on taming the Dragon? after riding the dragon w/ Fireman last year, I think the best way to describe it is, "it's like full dresser motocross" it's tight, it's busy, & it comes at ya fast. I rode it & I'm in no hurry to ride it again ( unless I had a Ducati Hyper Motard 1100 )   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #376164 OBMF (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 561 Re:tail of the dragon mishap 1 Year ago   ^^^+1 What he said^^^ Just don't get crazy, and try to prove you're some kind of bad motorcycle rider. Have fun, pull over and let the guys on sportsbikes by. Watch for semi's coming around the hairpins. We had one, and it was unnerving, to say the least.

I rode the Dragon last year. Scary part was having all the sport bikes fly around you. I enjoy riding and seeing the sights, not trying to get from point A to B the fastest. Good luck to him!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #376177 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Re:tail of the dragon mishap 1 Year ago   I think thats an old Boxelder Tree in Wisconsin, they still claim it's their family tree, seeing how the whole damned State is related   Logged     Ride till ya get there, and, drink till she\'s cute   The administrator has disabled public write access. #376179 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2378 Re:tail of the dragon mishap 1 Year ago   roadiemort wrote: thanks to all of you for your support, i'll be calling him every day to see how he is doing.as for the needle, i think he's probaly getting a few every day lol. but tell me what is the tree of shame? any pics? aahh yes, the dreaded "Tree of Shame" A guy who lives near the end of the dragon has a neat hobby. Any time he hears of a wreck at the dragon, he hunts/collects parts from said wreck & hangs them in a tree for the world to see. I believe he was on his 3rd tree when Fireman & I were there. Local legend has it, it quite an honor to have your remains hung there   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
