Member Contributer Switchblade Posted November 6, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 6, 2015 Nice little video for you leaf watchers. This is what is referred to as a nice leisurely pace . Dragon was deserted but Q3's rear chicken strips are gone . Enjoy . I thought I felt Rossi kicking me a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Mikey Posted November 6, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 6, 2015 Nice ride, put a smile on my face. Been years since I was out there, unfortunately it was in a 3/4 ton pickup truck. Visor up even, getting a bit cool out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer zoomzoom Posted November 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2015 Very cool video Switchblade. Some day, some day, I must make my way to your door and see if you would be so willing as to give me a personal tour. We certainly have our fair share of twisty roads here in the Okanagan Valley of BC, but nothing quite comes close. I think that's the first time I've watched a video of the ride from end to end. AMAZING. How many times have you done that road?? IIRC, you live fairly close and can ride it frequently so I'm sure you have nearly every corner burned into brain and it might be like second nature now. LOL. My son Liam was watching beside me as we had the video playing on the BIG screen (we played it on the 46" HDTV) and he was wondering when we could drive that road. His understanding of geography is bit limited at 8 years old and has trouble realizing the distance required to get TO the Dragon, but some day I told him........................some day.

Member Contributer Belfry Posted November 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2015 Great video! My favourite kind: No music except that of the engine. A lot more exciting than what I first thought: Watching a Nissan Leaf do the Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted November 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2015 Nice video. Looks like good fortune with the traffic - the cars all seemed to be going the opposite direction. This would be good instruction for noob riders - riding the pace - almost never on the brakes - one smooth transition in to the next. Rinse and repeat. No wonder you like that road so much! Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted November 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2015 Nice vid Switch. Have you got the whole thing memorized? I'd think that, theoretically, if all traffic was kept off for the duration of your ride, you could ride that road blindfolded. That machine on that road spends very little time straight up and down. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just you have to be careful because your not the only one on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted November 10, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 10, 2015 Must have been the kicks that sent you over the DY Fortunately those are optional as long as no one is coming the other way...

Jotzu Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Nice run, I was there for my first time only a few days prior to you posting this on my 94. The dragon was definitely pretty and it was a great ride even though it was in fall with it being in the 70's that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Bent Posted February 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 18, 2016 Are the po po still blitzing the place or trying to slow it down like they did a few years ago? Doesn't look like it. The not so esteemed Gov. Bredeson of Tennessee decided he was going to eliminate the fun through a TSP blitzkrieg. It didn't work apparently.

Kimball talk to one of the State Highway patrolmen a couple of weeks ago and he told him the State would be there everyday this year , not sure on how the state got him to stop and talk but that is another story.
