I did the Dragon once (no problems) and have no interest in a return trip. To many accidents for my taste. Have heard to many horror stories for my liking.

Holy crap! I just rode the dragon Saturday. Glad I had no such mishaps. It was a rainy day and the roads were wet, so I just took it really easy. Loved the ride. Even the rainy trip home.

As it was said in the thread, this guy went in while attempting a U-turn where the three guys are standing. How the heck did he not have enough room? Poor planning for sure. Definitely a 41 candidate.
