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.

Wow how can he not see the YELLOW Porsche coming with that much view distance?

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.

Speaking of "Bees" as a PSA we might as well link up Jack's time-tested video that's posted on the MOTD site...

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. "
