Make sure you guys are taking your nitro. We don't need anyone getting worked up and having a heart attack over this stuff.

I spent 22 years teaching them to be a good citizen by arresting them with as many violations as I could find. The ones that didn't learn caused me to make a trip to their families to explain why they weren't coming home anymore.

I agree as long as you are doing speed limit, the other guy can bugger off. It is aholes like them that cause accidents

'fraid I'm a westcoaster...It's pretty ordinary to have the N cali rural roads pretty much to yourself...fewer people I guess. Maybe they're all in LA speaking Spanish, Arabic, or whatever. Anyway they're not here...good.

I worry about gravel and deer and bear and rocks and trees, not so much cars and bikes and trucks - except on the main highway where it does suck, sometimes.

Rain today...boredom.

Tell us, though, about other twisties in NC... All new to me...

Took this route one day while staying in Maggie Valley NC. Dale Walksler of Wheels Through Time museum recommended that general area. He said all the roads there are fine. Turned out to be a great ride. Very little traffic, beautiful scenery/waterfalls, etc., and plenty of good roads.

There is also safety involved. I have never ridden the dragon but from what I understand there are more curves than straight aways. I agree with letting faster traffic pass you if you are on a straight away, but with the curves that the dragon has, some being switchbacks, I don't think it would be safe to pass on those curves. You got to be stupid and have a death wish to try and pass in a curve.
