It goes without saying that there will be MINI's and motorcycles on the Dragon.... So be aware when you all are down there hugging the curves.... Bad stuff happens fast... This motorcyclist crossed the yellow with consequences... Lived through it with a broken arm and a few other serious injuries... He was very lucky... Video not safe for children or sensitive adults... https://youtu.be/aeJUeZ6GTsg https://www.instagram.com/p/BTB7Z9RjhdA/?hl=en
The closest I've come to a bad thing on the Dragon & Hell Bender have been with sport bikes trying to smash their heads into my car. Glad the guy lived, a real shame about the P car.
That's not the Dragon, but same thing applies. Don't cross the center line. Both bike and Porsche where traveling at high rates of speed right at each other focused on the apex and not farther down the road. The bike was in the wrong for cutting the corner but both lost in the end. Stay on your side and you have a much better chance of staying alive. https://youtu.be/I_izvAbhExY https://youtu.be/YxvBPH4sArQ
Speaking of "Bees" as a PSA we might as well link up Jack's time-tested video that's posted on the MOTD site... [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p3BADt-ROw"]MINIs on the Dragon - Motoring Safety Tips - YouTube[/ame]
Nope... Not the Dragon.... Texas... But applies to "Anywhere USA" And applies especially to the upcoming MINI mass at the Dragon... Stay Safe folks...
With my R50cvt, I won't have to worry about crossing any lines... more like turning off so the pack behind me can pass safely!. Hell, just getting up the hills alone after the turns will be a stretch. LOL
Yup, the Dragon can bite back. Historically more MINIs have messed up on the Hellbender than on the Dragon. Either way, "Enjoy the Ride and Stay on your Side" applies wherever you are. I'll be posting a few crash images on FB this weekend to give the newbies a heads up.
The best advice I ever got about the Dragon years ago. " Just stay away from the Yellow line, consider it a cliff. Learn to drive well within your limits on just your side and you will have lots of fun. "
