Well, he admits to being stupid because that's what he does? Good to know idiotic behaviour can be explained so easily.Originally Posted by 53driver
The "dragon" folklore and all those that go to "slay" it crack me up.
Need an EPIRB for your bike. Wow wow wow.

Or at the very least some sort of itinerary that you leave behind with a loved one.
Yes, I read about this a while ago. Good thing he was found.
I do not enjoy the Dragon. At least not on the F6B.

I was suprised to read that as I thought you had a good time when we rode it last year. You did a great job on it. We did not slay it, we rode it and respected it!

I just didn't like the numerous blind corners. And the heavy traffic oncoming traffic at times.
If I can see through a corner, I am much more relaxed and can really enjoy carving it up.

I rode the Dragon several times on my BMW K75S and had a ball. A few years later on the Valkyrie, not so much. I don't ever plan on taking the "B" on that road. The Cherohala Skyway will do just fine thank you very much.

Doesn't matter what road you are riding....if you are riding too close to another idiot, you are not managing your risk. Period.
manage your space correctly you live, mismanage your space, you crash!
