back from the Dragon

[hardlydangerous]

well Im back just shy of two weeks 5500+ km

PILOT POWER 2ct best tires Ive run to date for all purpose and play.
I only ran the dragon once, 7pm, perfect road temps, lighting, no traffic, bike was running great. I flicked the gopro on just as I passed the lookout.

I was not out to break any speed records and u can see I backed off on the straits. but even with traffic its still 11:40s to deals gap.
it didn't take long to chew the lile Michelin mans off the edges of the tires. 36F 38R psi for the entire trip.

Nice run! Gaud, I miss that place...

Sweet road! Roads like that are few and far between up here, as you well know. I hope you had a blast down there HD!

Nice run! Gaud, I miss that place...

+1, I love it down there, the entire surrounding area is fantastic.

The dragon is fun but they roads getting there are just as fun and a lot less traffic.
The Cherahola is still my favorite road.

we spent hours on google earth and maps looking for the twisty and most gnarly roads, some that don't go anywhere. We found some roads that were just as fun and challenging in spots as the dragon, but none are quite as fun as the dragon under perfect conditions

Great vid. Loved it. Sounds like you had a great time on your trip.

I can't wait to get down there for the Rally!!!!

I go to a rally if it was in may or first of june.

The summer traffic is just stupid on the dragon and surrounding roads. Police are everywhere. And the Heat, holy crap is it HOT.
5500km and not 1 single cop on any of the roads like the dragon , snake, cherahola, back of the dragon etc etc. they were all in town and big 4 lane roads.
It was the same last year at the same time
