Holy crap! I'd say that beat the Dragon (at least for the views).

I know some of you in America get the TV programme Top Gear, we rode the Stelvio pass that they claim is the best motoring road in the world. We did have one small problem though.



after we paid the $10 toll and climbed to about 6000 feet, but it got better later.

Those pictures of Road Glides in action got to me.
I'm going to take the day off and ride my Road Glide to the White Mountains. We don't have the Dragon but we have some pretty good riding here in New Hampshire.

That's inspiring. I'll be doing a 760 mile one day trip this Saturday on the RG in Virginia. Stafford to Keen Mountain and back.

Hey EasternSP

I take it you're from Stafford, VA. why not 250 to Elkton, WV. and back on 33.

That is a great ride from Staunton, VA, up to Elkton, WV, to Harrisonburg, VA.

There are a lot of good roads in the western part of Virginia that are as fun and not as busy as the Dragon is. Just watch out for the truckers.
