Our local paper has been running stories discussing the same thing last week.

Operation Dragon a success

Dragon's colors: Many attracted to atmosphere of curvy road

Dragon's lair draws tourist dollars, crowds

Targeting the Dragon

 

I think the increased police presence this year was due in a large part to this.



The next day the cops were everywhere on the dragon, police cruisers, a helicopter, motorcycle cops, an unmarked car, the works.

 

OUCH!!!!

Who is the unlucky owner of that mishap? (and were they injured?)

[QUOTE=madcowdk,May 18 2006, 08:37 AM] cops are pretty decent up there unless you drive like an idiot.

 

The routes for sesm are incredible!! IMO better than driving the dragon. I did a complete run through of the sesm routes last weekend and they are going to be a blast.

 

How hard are you guys pushing through these roads? Just curious.

 

I'm pretty conservative because there is a lot of oncoming traffic i.e. motorcycles. You kinda have to make up for other ignorant drivers. You really stay in 2nd and 3rd gear the whole way. I did manage to wear the front tires off in that single weekend though! :-P

 

Yes, Say GoodBye to 5/32nd of Tread if you are going to have any Fun, and save some Tread for the Drive Back Home.

Also Keep you Eyes Open for the Bears, They will Bite Hard if They Catch Ya.

 

DERF, you must write titles for a living....

 

It's not like the cops are going to shoot you. If they pull you over you get a ticket, and it costs some money. Big deal. What are you 'afraid' of?

Same thing holds true for any and all public roads.

Obviously, I don't advocate being a complete moron on any public road, but if you get a little carried away, it's not really THAT big of a deal.
