I've seen pictures of them on the Dragon before.

I would love to rock a Vespa on the Dragon. That would be a funny sight.

I should make an appearance this year. Maybe even hit it up on the way down to FL beginning of march. Any one know how it's like at the dragon beginning of march? cold? wet? etc?

Temps will be near freezing. Good chance of precipitation of some form.

No traffic.

damn. it probably isn't even worth my time to drive 8 hours to the dragon, then 8 hours to orlando and should just drive straight to orlando which only takes 12 hours.

The Dragon is worth the time if you're anywhere close. It's truly unique.

Drive it once and try to tell me you regret the extra 4 hours you drove.
