These clips piss the F**K outa me! if your curve dancing on the dragon and not even getting outa 2nd gear and another bitch in a car veres into your lane while your draggin knee and cant move outa the way and BAM! " THE MOTORCYCLE WAS SPEEDING AND THERE FOR ITS HIS FAULT!!"
who the **** do ya think the media is going to put the blaim on!?!
People have to understand that the dragon is one of the most saught after strech of roads in the USA! My dad drove from MINNESOTA in his Z3 M coupe to just stay a weekend there! they even make stickers of the "dragon"
There is a stretch of road just like The dragon near me, just not as long and all of the local cars just slow down and pull over to let you by!
And YES I KNOW THAT WE DO NOT OWN THE ROAD! but if they would just post up signs saying to move over to let the bikes by, i bet that the amount of accidents would be cut in half if not more!
PS: the media is not posting all of the facts! they are just posting what they want to post!
KidCr3nshaw, youd better watch who you talk to like that cause he might just Ctrl-Alt-Delete you!

Well, if you want to test your limits, do it on a race track. It isn't fair to others to feel guilty for your injuries or demise. It is a PUBLIC road, it is not owned by them or you. It is so true that problems are always caused by "the few". But they ban the rest of us from enjoying our hobbies. As a dirt biker faced with land closures, I know. I will agree though, as a human, I would probably run the Dragon with gusto myself. But, that doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it legal.

KidCr3nshaw has a right to his opinion and as long as he doesn't resort to childish behavior... what he says is fine. He did attack me a little and I only pointed it out because this is where most of the fights come from, just not usually aiming at an admin. What usually happens is the attackie smarts off to the attacker then BAM!!!! We're back in the third grade. I just think he misread, or maybe I didn't put it into words the right way.
The dragon wasn't a big part of this story. I mentioned it because I heard them say something about US 129. The stats on the Dragon are maybe one death a year... a far cry from 300, but still way too many.
I didn't mean to say only inexperienced riders are crashing, that's what the interviews kept bringing up.
I do not have any wings on my back, I see the riding they showed in the videos and realize it's very dangerous and foolish.
My only thought was to add, that it's not fair to point out that we ruin the peaceful scenery with our bikes. I love the sounds we make in that environment.

ya, i understand man.. 
by me mentioning the dragon and how its HUGE in the car/motorcycle world was because the media makes it look like we are disterbing the "nature people" (no offence to those that enjoy the nature) when in all reallity, there are more motorcyclists/car lovers that drive on the dragon then people who are there to enjoy the scenery..
