Draggin pegs at the Dragon - Page 7

Yep. Trailered up.

Clothes and supplies for a 10 day stay at my buddy's timeshare filled the back of his Nissan Titan pickup. If it would have been a 3 or 4 day trip we would have ridden. We had way too much stuff to carry safely on the bikes.

And no, I didn't trailer the HD FOR the ride. We trailered them TO the ride.

Smartass.

:neener:

JWR, was that a SCOOTER????

:facepalm:

Yes, a 600cc Honda Silverwing.

Very comfortable touring scooter.

500 mile days were easy, cruising at 70+, no problem.

Fuel injected and limited to 110 mph.

Mental note to self:

Never, ever post a picture of myself riding while cornering on this forum. Even if it was cornering on the edge of hell with satan pictured in the background trying to suck me in .... i'd probably be cornering improperly. :poke2:

Valentino Rossi would be sent away crying by some of the critics here.

What I like is the folks that would probably be scared to death if they saw this road in action giving me advice.

Check out http://killboy.blogspot.com/and go to the Highlights pictures......

Remember on any given weekend there is anywhere from 100 to 500 motorcycle and cars on this same 11 mile twisty road.

There is also about 3 to 7 different photographers to get your picture.

Try Yellowwolf on you tube.

He did a saddlesore on a Goldwing. 56 round trips in 24 hours.

For those of you that have ridden the dragon.....try this at night, at speed!!!!

I think this like works OK.

Yep, THAT really sounds like good advice! :skull:

Oh, but I've never done it so I guess I'm not qualified to comment. :neener:

JWR · 04-14-2009, 09:58 PM

It is not for everyone!!!

Timid need not apply.

Same goes for other sports. skydiving, base jumping.

It just happens to be a playground that is tied to motorcycling and is close by.

I like it, some don't......not judging anybody.

You would probably enjoy the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I hope to ride all of it this year.
