I'm guessing there is some sort of hypnotic gas in the area that turns every one into crazy folks .. I've seen pics of the tree ...

PS. I've seen Kevins video ... LOL

Hmmmm ... just noticed ... Harley's and Vettes

[Zammy]

Damn, some of them are hard to look at.

As tragic as these pics are the pics themselves are awesome.

I was thinking the same thing .... are there ghouls sitting on every curve with tri pods just waiting for the gore????? As cool as I think it would be to ride this ... I'm afraid I'd end up like the Vette .. some wacko would drift into me and probably kill me ...

If I did it, it would be low and slow ... enjoying the road, not tempting death.

Thats why people go to the Nascar races.....No gore no go!.......

I found it interesting that a couple of riders actually were tossed UP and summersaulting into the air. I had it in mind that a mc crash would generally throw the rider through the windshield or off to the side as shown in at least one of the pics.

Yep, that's the tree.

The Killboy.com photographer must have a direct line to the emergency response system...plus, I’ll bet these wreck photos are probably used in insurance settlement cases.

Lots of folks with trikes like to brag they can keep up with the two wheelers. I don't have that inferiority complex myself. But I will say you're gonna get hurt just as bad when something goes wrong. When you're on the ragged edge bad things happen quick.

I am with you on those thoughts 100% Fuzzy. There are just too many folks on the Dragon who ride or drive beyond their limits, capabilities and common sense even at the posted speed limits.

I ride the Dragon just about yearly. Every ride requires your 120 % attention to the roller coaster ride you are participating in from start to finish.



This is a pic from 2015, one year before the CSC conversion and 8 weeks after major abdominal surgery, taking it easy on the Dragon. Yes, that is a car tire on the rear with an Avon Cobra on the front. But tires cannot replace knowing your limits, good capabilities and common sense.

Ride Safe Everyone

Maybe they should designate certain style riding days on the Dragon... Scenic days to not exceed x-mph and Speed Demon days to tempt fate. That way the county could save money by not having extra first responders on the payroll EVERY day.

Like every other law, guideline or whatever, some moron will alway break the rules. Besides, if the county did that they would be incurring liability just by suggesting it ... not gonna happen.
