Man, that's gonna hurt! I see she's wearing protective flip-flops too.

Yeah, caught the flip flops too. At least they went down in the grass and it looked low speed. Probably not much else hurt than his pride thankfully. It's not that hard a road to ride people. Just don't go too fast and pay attention.

Thumbs down

Both this flip-flop and a prior Belly Flop photo show the stupidity of attire by riders on a road such as the Dragon,

Complete insanity in my opinion,

If you are going to cruise the road, fine, no gloves, no jacket, no SHOES even,

But if you intend to attack the beast, then for God's Sake, at least wear gloves!!!!!!!!!!!

That elbow is gonna hurt after it slips off the white paint. He won't be able to walk for a week... after she kicks his cajones. I always keep in mind I'm on a motorcycle and my dearly beloved is on the back. We're in all the gear, including full-face even when "cruising".

Yep, that looks like a busted wing in the making.

I've never been to the Dragon, but if it's like the rest on the area (Gatlinburg, Pigeon forge)with the incredible traffic and folks driving like *****, I'm not sure I really want to. All you have to do is do a search on YouTube. Vette drivers, crotch rockets, souped up Miatas, ect, ect posting videos. Maybe someday REALLY early in the morning. I ride to relax and come home in one piece, not end up a bundle of nerves because I had to dodge some jackass(es).

But now I gotta ask a question: Two threads dipicting crashes and not a single word from the Fashion Gestapo about gay chaps and gloves. Why?

Great pic!


Did the Dragon on my Dyna a few years back. Now added a Kawasaki zx1100 to my stable and am heading down in a week or two to really "rip it up". Can't wait!!!!!

As it is over 100 miles from home, will probably trailer it there. No need to impress "folks" by riding it a whole 700 miles. LOL

Wait, would have to purchase a trailer first. Maybe my wife will purchase one for me.
