I think that MySpace video was of Hellbender (28), and not the Dragon. Note the lack of 90 degree and greater turns as well as the river on the left at just below road level. Wonder if he just didn't know the difference...?

West Side Billy. I wanted to use the above clickable smile to respond to your "From Florida response but I'll use the following instead.
I use to run the Dragon twice a year on my HD Ultra Classic, but Thanks to DBR 06 I now run The Dragon four times a year - twice with the M/C and Twice with the S2000 (WTD & DBR).
DBR 06 was my first time with the S2000 and I can actually take the Dragon four times faster with the S2000 than with the Ultra.
With either the M/C or S2000 I do not cross the yellow lines as I know what they represent. I get upset with myself if I even touch them.
The only problem I have with the Dragon is that my arms are sore afterwards.
Yes, I'll be back to the Dragon for WTD 07 and DBR 07 as these events are well organized (Thanks to Airgate and friends) as I have met some real nice people there where we all have something in common - one hell of a car.
Yes, I push myself on the Dragon, with either the M/C or S2000, but I don't push myself beyond my capabilities - the S2000 has much more capabilitiy than I do.
No ego there, I leave that in Florida.
Like I say to M/Cist friends - keep your butt in the seat and your face in the wind.
See you at WTD 07

Honestly, some of the FL drivers I've met were very good and stayed within their limits... others, well, a couple are just plain asshats. Enjoy the road and keep the shiny side up

You know, I completely understand that they have the right to be on the road. But a fat lotta good your rights do you when you're run over and dead. Just because you have the right to be on the road does not mean you give up the right to use common sense.

Glad to see you here, Phil. I'm not an Ultra fan, but if I see you out there, I'll definitely give you a wave.Way too many a$$hats don't understand what the double yellows represent. If I have a perfect, 10/10ths run, I'll touch them every corner yet not cross them. But given the behaviour I've seen lately, I'm not ever going for that run. Ever.
