Hard to tell from photos, but I'm impressed. Looks like you're keeping up with the sportsbike in front of you. Eight photos when they normally do 2-4 makes me think the speed made them take notice. You seem to know your limits well. You come close, but don't drag. If you're a flatlander then I'm doubly impressed.

Just having fun. Dynas really are just perfect for this type of riding. Though, I also rode a lot of 80 mph miles on Florida Interstate same week, and Dyna was just great for that too. When I get older, and less proficient, maybe I'll get a decker 
. Then, much later, I'll think about getting a softail ;P

Two years ago rode the dragon on a rented Ultra Classic during a road trip. Had a close call with the outside of the road. Scared the c**p out of the wife. Frankly, it made my ba**s tingle. Was an overall great ride though. Maybe next time on a smaller bike, by myself, will be more fun.

I just came back from the Tail o the Dragon. 318 curves in 11 miles. Dyna has to be the best HD for this ride. See pics on www.Killboy.com - Go to store, March 8, continue, cruisers, pages 25 (last one) and the first few of page 26... or to

New tires, FXDX shocks in the back, and V-Rod fork internals make a big difference for handling.
I will need new pegs, again.

I am headed there for about 10 days getting there about the 19th. They surely do have an abundance of awesome motorcycling roads and trails in the area
