Why is it called the Dragon?
Ice:
I think there are many reasons and we each have our own but Joe summed it all up. :cooldude:
Willow:
The Dragon is a mythical beast, large, powerful, and beautiful.
We see a correlation between the mythical Dragon and the Valkyrie.
Ferris Leets:
If you start trying to associate any thing else the dragon just fits, Unicorn, Minotaur, Ogre, Troll, Ox,? The list could go on but, it seems that with the bulk, nimbleness, power, and smoke rising from the tire the DRAGON just seems to fit. Also some people think dragons have some thing to do with the Valkyries.
f6gal:
Back on Sept. 1, 1996, the first internet site dedicated to the Honda Valkyrie, "The Valkyries' Lair," was launched. The site, built by Craig Buhl, contained the tag line, "For Those Who Ride the Dragon." Craig referred to the Valkyrie as the Dragon because of the definition of a dragon:
"*Dragon (n.) A legendary fire breathing beast of great size; renowned for its immense power and ability to fly."
The moniker caught on and we continue riding dragons to this day.

Thanks. Not only is that a great explanation, but it actually makes you feel special to be able to be one of the few to ride one!
