Beautiful view of the countryside there and that had to be one fun drive with all the twisties. Hope to make that drive some day myself.

I'm glad you enjoyed my part of the world. I live 30 minutes away from 'the Dragon'

To be honest, I've done the dragon twice. Once on two wheels, the second in my C5. When asked, I say after the first 150 turns the fun is starting to wear off. But I do understand having to try it.

My parents live about an hour away from the Dragon. I’m planning to check it out next time I drive down to see them.

Jealous!

I love that whole area, we are going back in October for a week. The trip gets a little longer every year. Don't forget to go to Killboy.com and look at the pictures they took.

I did it on a street glide a few years ago. It's very technical and you must be on your game or you could get in trouble.

There is another road nearby called the rattlesnake. Not as twisty, but still a lot of fun.

It is a great ride. I heard that a biker dies every month, very dangerous for those pocket rocket kids.

The wheels are Ruff 954's 19 front 20 rear I got off a forum vender speed depot . I had them powder coated to match ANV colored wheels.

I've done the dragon a bunch of times and it is a blast! The cherohala and Bridal veil falls are good drives too!
