Default Dragon takes another one

Rode the Dragon his afternoon. Rounded a curve and saw two state troopers with lights on and a rider down in the road. His two buddys were there with him, but did'nt see any movement. Saw the ambulance on the Foothills parkway headed his way. Hope he was not hurt to bad.

A friend of mine was up that way 2 weeks ago and said they saw a car being towed away from a head on collision with a huge V dug into the front from a bike..

Another reason we passed that one up and rode the Skyway after a quick "get-away" into NC last Friday.
Too many other roads in the area.... this one's just got the "hype."

Just sayin'

Even the Skyway can suck on weekends. Lots of crotch rockets that don't know what the yellow line is for.

This guy was on a Victory, Seemed to be stock as best as I could tell. The wife and I had just been talking with him and his buddies about half an hour before he went down.

Yeah and lots of bikes with loud exhaust that disturb the peace and quite of the parkway. Might as well have 18 wheelers with jake brakes on rolling thru.
