Never had a bad day on the dragon personally but have seen some people have a bad day. I am headed up to my cabin tomorrow and will probably cruise the dragon a couple of times by Saturday.

Ah yes! A helmet on with shorts and a t-shirt. That way, the woman can be in serious pain from all the road rash while being of sound mind to enjoy it the entire time!

I've seen chicks climb on bikes being driven by some real dumbasses, and I'm thinking to myself you're just as dumb as he is. Dumber actually, to trust him with your well being.

That being said, no way to know for sure what happened there, although most likely the explanation is simple......

"Do some of that counter steering sh*t Mav !!!"

The only way it can go good at this point is if he takes the money from the insurance and buys a Miata

Yea stormed down at the coast Monday night with about 1.5" of rain. that was a bad front that stretched from the great lakes all the way to the gulf. Looks like the weather Friday is suppose to be clear at the cabin.
