This is what a Rocket should look like on the dragon... lol

And here's what a Touring should look like on the Dragon.

It was probably his first ride down the Dragon, riding two up i give him credit for being conservative. A lot can go wrong if your not familiar with the torraine or what awaites around every corner..... Just ask a Harley rider..

I heard em say "I guess their gonna beat our asses" Firstly, wrong place to pass but i reckon they were doing just 10mph to piss off the bikers stuck behind em.

Two up on a roadster, pegs on the ground. Wife riding comfortably. I created a thread about how this beast corners after this our first trip to the dragon on our new rocket. In this pic it has abiut 1000 miles on it. I love the way this bike rides in the twisties.

Beautiful road!

I'm no motor-man.
But Wow! That's scary!

I would probably ride very conservatively the first time and then look for the lean after that.
But, this type of riding is what scares me about popular motorcycle roads.

He crossed the center line at 5:10--6:02--6:25--6:46 and 7:10.
I stopped counting after that.

I know cruisers are meant to cruise; knees in the breeze and all. But, you still gotta control the bike!
Crossing the line like that not only puts his own and passengers life in danger; but oncoming riders too.

If the rider in the vid is on here: Sorry, but you REALLY need to start developing your riding techniques.
We can't ***** about cagers if we're gonna be as much of a problem.

Loved the scenery though.

I know we should, but sadly we dont. Unless its cold enough to need leather jacket and chaps, that would be considered my gear. At least it's not shorts and flip flops as is common to see here.

If you had ever ridden that road then you would know that about 10 mph is about as fast as a large vehicle could go there - and even then it would have trouble and be dangerous going round the tight hairpin corners.

No I havent ridden it but hopefully in the spring summer I can shoot some footage of our Shoebury loop or B roads to Finchingfield. Blackthou will know what I mean.

There were a bunch of us on the Dragon when we were in Maggie Valley. Loads of fun....
