The bike rider was apparently at fault in this pic. The wife and I rode the Dragon in '09, and there were numerous times that we were in curves and the cages were on our side of the road! It's even more fun when you're meeting an 18-wheeler! In sharp curves, they have no choice but to cross the line into the other lane. That's why 18-wheelers should be banned on the Dragon (IMHO), but, hey, its a US highway, so what do you do.
killboy has several photos of cars over the line, but even more interesting, he has photos of state police and sheriff cars crossing the line into oncoming traffic!!
The Dragon is 11 miles long, so if you ran it @ 60 mph, it would take you 11 minutes. Not trying to see how fast we could, we just rode at a comfortable pace for us, and timed it. We rode it in 21 mins. At the store at Deal's Gap, there were sport bike riders bragging about running the Dragon in 7 mins!! They wear racing gear with metal shin guards and metal knee pads. We met a sport bike rider in a curve, he was laying over so far that his pegs and his leg guards were throwing sparks, and who knows how fast he was going, and he was still able to take one hand off the grips and wave at us!! When on the Dragon, I was doing "head nods" instead of waving. We only saw one bike off of the road, but it was a weekday (still very busy!), I hear it is really crazy on the weekends.
Ride Safe!!
