We (Georgia Crew) are putting together a little rally based in Ellijay, Georgia this May.
The Dragon is all the hype with lots of folks who say they plan on attending.
I won't be anywhere near that stretch, too much better riding in surrounding areas... don't want to meet one of those "amateurs" head-on either.
All you can do is warn them...

I live within 2 hours of some of the greatest roads you never heard of....and I think I'll keep finding new ones instead of that particular piece of asphalt.

It would seem based on the final picture in the series that everyone was fortunate. The riders are standing and the motorcycle did not go head-on into someone else. I would think that some gloves might have helped in such a situation. That area has many curves and it is very easy to misjudge a turn. I hope it did not ruin their vacation entirely.

I guess they had bruised egos and bodies, glad to see they were able to walk away, BTW many Florida riders have seen a lot of curves and hills, just have to ride out of state to get there, lol. And this time of year I can 99% guarantee the ones close to where I live will not see snow. The roads may be flat, but right now they are warm and dry also.
