too much sheet metal and immovable objects to consider this one as well.

Did ya happen to notice how often he was over the double yellow?   Yeah, I know the road was closed but, the four times I rode the Dragon's Tail, it wasn't closed and folks were consistently over the double yellow and trying to kill me.   No thanks, not going back (unless they make it a one way road).

BINGO  Undecided I totally agree Ron. It was cool watching and it must have been filmed about this time last year with all the leaves on the road. I didn't notice his time, was it posted?  Huh?

been a long time since I tried drifting in a rear wheel drive car,
did do it in an old Rabbit a few times before married


That was a fun video thanks for posting

I have been through the dragon 3 times, it is not on my top 10 roads as Ron said, not a fan of having to ride off the right side of the road to stay safe from idiots in turns  We have enough of them here in NY thank you

       Been there done that got my pin and I have like ZERO desire to do THAT again any time soon. It was FUN at the time-14?-and Ross and I were there EARLY on a Sunday morning. We got to Deals Gap and folks were unloading a Lot of zip splats. I KNOW fer a FACT leaves on the riding surface no fun atall!  Lips Sealed RIDE SAFE.

I've done it before, I look forward to doing it again...


...not to be a prude, but was anyone else a little put off that they sell beer for on-site consumption at the tourist stop at the beginning/ending though?

Mostly HD types in full pirate attire slamming back a few beers before tackling the Dragon but..... sheesh.....

I believe there's a 2 beer limit but that doesn't stop anyone buying for someone else.
