#133239 noxqsays (User) Why did I move to FL from MI? FL seemed warmer. Expert Boarder Posts: 410 Tail of the Dragon 3 Years, 7 Months ago   A co-worker just got back from Tail of the Dragon recently and brought an interesting photo I thought I would share. What a way to ruin a great ride!!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #133242 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7083 Re:Tail of the Dragon 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Do you have a larger print of that? I'm not sure what you want us to see? Is there something wrong with the bike? The car following him? I'm not sure OH, I see, it's Mr. Police Dude tailing Mr.Biker down the curvy pass. AHHH, that's were you reach down and turn off the gas and make him pass you as you pull over out of gas...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/10/24 16:23 By Darn.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1063 Re:Tail of the Dragon 3 Years, 7 Months ago   That's when you pull over for a "scenic look", and let him go by! Although, he may be waiting ahead for you!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #133274 BlkCherryBomb (User) If I do it today, then what is tomorrow for? Senior Boarder Posts: 262 Re:Tail of the Dragon 3 Years, 7 Months ago   I guess I don't understand why the Troopers are so heavy on that road. Yes there are a lot of bikers on it, but how fast could you really go with all those turns? Unless the speed limit is 5 MPH I don't get it.   Logged     One ride is never enough.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #133280 Lakecharles (User) Jeremiah 29:11 and Semper Fi!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1164 Re:Tail of the Dragon 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Problem with pulling over to let him pass is, if you don't do it in the right spot, they'll ticket you for stopping. The sport bikers could really go through the curves fast. I went down there last year twice and the LEOS were ALL over the place. They made it no fun at all constantly watching your speed, making sure you didn't cross the center lines even a small amount while going around a turn, They would get you for anything. I under stand the need for enforcing the laws, but down there is just wrong in the way their policing the roads. My 2¢.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #133299 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

You don't respect that road it will bite you read bad. Been on that road many many times either direction with no issues.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #133435 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby?
