I'm sure this has already been posted somewhere on the site, but in case you haven't seen it, here is a video of about 3 minutes of an S2000 running the Dragon: Click Here

If you can, view it in full screen.

This is one stretch of road that all S2000 owners should drive at least once!

 

Can't make it play more than a couple of seconds....probably the work connection. I'll check it out tonight.

 

Fun to recall those curves from my 4 hours on the Dragon in July.

Am I the only one that sees more excitement in the tilting of the camera than in KILLBOY's driving skill on the twisties? Based on the brake light action, it doesn't look to me as if he/she have any idea how to enter a tight curve.

In emoticon lingo, it's more like than it is

 

I agree with you that it doesn't look very fast or exciting, but based on my experiences, video doesn't acurately portray speed. Looking at the lean angles from the motorcycle chasing with the camera, I'd say they were moving at a pretty good clip. His breaking points look good. He's breaking fairly late, with a little trail breaking into the corners. At one point, you can see the tail getting a little loose as he applies power on corner exit. KILLBOY is a skilled local motorcyclist that knows the road very well.

Take a look at this video: (This is Killboy in the S, following the motorcycle.)

That's some nice motorcycle riding with nice lines and control, especially considering they are going downhill in that second tape.

 

I have to question some of the lines that the S2000 driver took? But all in all both videos were cool.

 

^^^But neither the S nor the bike crossed the double yellow.

 

That bike also stayed off the inside and outside painted lines - slippery plus gravel. Smart.

 

Both videos are too jerky for my taste and enjoyment... gave up on both.

 

I can't watch it. I did drive it before, though, with Jim (S1997) in May 2007.
