HOW TO RIDE THE DRAGON

[1BigDog]

I did the Dragon twice on my old Yamaha Venture, two up. You really have to stay alert or your going to wind up either down the mountain or into the ditch. While it was fun there was just way too much concentration going on in my head. Give me a nice stretch of A1A, a nice ocean view and a gentle breeze and I am happy. And yes, I am proud of my chicken strips!

...a gentle breeze, good music and I'm a happy camper.

Around my part of the world most of the good roads are like the dragon. The trick is don't try to go fast, and keep you eyes looking as far ahead as possible.

Some of those lean angles must be getting up round 40-45 degrees..... bl uddy 'ell!!!

I know one fellow that teaches the "Ride Like A Cop" program.
Northwest Motorcycle School - Motor Officer - Advanced riding course - Ride Like A Cop
His Wing has the engine guards ground half way through and the pegs are ground down to less than half length!
He is NOT a copper and rides the rodeo circuit better than most cops.
VERY impressive to watch!

Google is your friend but results can be a bit lame.

Urban Dictionary: chicken strips
