The motorcyclist was attempting to pass, on a double yellow line, a truck that was also traveling southbound when the accident occurred, the release stated.

Whoda thought?

Looks like they both ran out of talent.

Each went down after locking up brakes which is never the thing to do if you're in trouble.

Are people just going too fast through the Dragon? Never been there but it sounds like a beautiful cruise.

Luckily some unsuspecting rider in the other lane wasn't&nbsp\\;killed by these idiots.&nbsp\\; That's why I don't ride the Dragon.&nbsp\\; I know my limitations on a bike, but I don't know the other fool's coming at me in the other lane.

1st guy probably deserved what he got, 2nd was probably just over his head.&nbsp\\; The dragon is not a bad ride if you respect it and ride within your limits and your bikes.&nbsp\\; I ride it 2 up and love it.

I don't live to far from it and I can find no reason to go ride it. The issue to me is the wrecks. That road is absolutely miserable when someone wrecks on it. I could deal with the congestion and idiots if not for the possibility of a wreck. It just becomes an exercise in misery.
