Everyone is acting like moving a few feet to the side and letting someone slide by is some kind of life altering move that they have to make. Lots of hard asses talking about beating some *** because someone wants to move by them. Sounds like the guy trying to pass in this instance was a douche, but a lot of that internet tough guy attitude coming from a lot of members here too.

If I am riding at or slightly above the posted limited and you want to go faster . That is your problem not mine period. Now if I chose to ride slower by all means I will let you by. Because you have some thing to prove riding faster on a public road I am not required to assist you with it.
Sadly this is why we need more LEO on Roads like the dragon. It is not some leathered up sport rider private track.

Anyone that rides the Dragon knows that they are going to encounter faster riders. It's a given, it's not a surprise. Some riders want to prove how fast they are, and some riders think "I'll be damned" if I'm going to let some hot dog blow by me on their Ninja 250.
Personally, I skip the Dragon. There are so many other beautiful roads in the area where I don't have to deal with either form of head case.

I've never been there, but I've read the tales, saw the photos, and it's really not on my "Bucket List" of places to ride. But I have to ask, what is the attraction that can't be found anywhere else? Are the turns broad enough to go WFO on a sport bike?
Being in California, there are some roads that are popular for the squid riders who are pretty much what makes Angeles Crest Highway a place to avoid on weekends
