    What’s with the strange cornering all the way.. Cuttings off the corner and bending over the middel line when going to the left. Keep your lane. Go wide and go in when you see road. Going left means drive more to the right. Stay wide and turn in to the corner. Leaning over the middle is just waiting for someone to hit you big time.

    No they aren't. 100% of europeans who say things like this have no perspective for what this road is actually like. Yet, everyone who has ridden this and ridden in the Rhine understands just how much more technical this road is. The cameras always obscure the reality.

    @@HogboyBiff Sure ! The closest Caribbean island to Venezuela. We got bikes here, but very little. Trinis do not like motorcycles. I have been a rider for 50 years (I am 67). I sold my Honda Nighthawk 250 & BMW R1150RT last year and bought an Indian-made Yamaha FZ25. Just good for my age, crawling traffic, gasoline prices, and a speed limit of 100kmh ! Too, everything motorcycle in this island is expensive..........since I started riding, until now. That 250 cost me TT$29,800. In exchange it is US$4,385 ! We have to import everything. But we have had our share of bikes in the years gone by. But nowadays, the sportbikes those young guys ride are almost always imported from the USA. Cheers. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

    To go fast you need gear, and time. Harleys can actually rip the dragon pretty well for a cruiser position. I once brought a Harley to a Miatas At the Gap rally and received a ton of standing ovations and fosts in the air as I left some miatas in the dust. I was scraping pegs is most of the corners or road rashing my pipes on those hard down and up right handers. Yeah its tiring, but it was hella fun. So mich so that I bought a Sportster Roadster and will be slinging it there this year. Last trip was with a Dyna and it was just a tad heavy.

    4th gear on the dragon is a rarity for me as well... Always sad to hear that. 6 riders perished there last year, 2 the year before and 3 in 2019... It can be a dangerous spot for motorcyclists but much safer than Dayton Bike week though. On average 7 motorcyclists die during bike week annually, with the record being 20 deaths in 2006.

To be actually able to push a sports bike to its limits in the twistys is a completely different story. I live in Cali.
