after this last trip, that writer is 100% right. There are many other roads just as exciting and technical as the Dragon, the only difference being a lack of professional photogs. We only rode it once this weekend due to heavy LEO presence and I am just as happy to have ridden all over the rest of the planet as I was to strictly ride the dragon last year!!

Yeah, sounds about right.
What I'm wondering is how can pulling someone over on an already tight and technical road be safe at all? Is it not congesting an already tight roadway? Just my thought, never been there. |

theres plenty of pull offs, but when the red and blue lights do pull someone over they pretty much fuck EVERYBODY.

"flying" at a calm 29 mph, so as not to exceed the speed limit right

I was glad to see that article. It may discourage a lot of people from going up there. Hence, decrease in traffic, decrease in law enforcement. I'm sure the locals would like it.
