For fun, I found another vid of guys doing a dragon run. This guy was 2 up on a RSV 1000 Aprilia, and looked like they were doing a decent clip.

And then I compared it to Tom on my 90. (first time on it) From the overlook to the state line, they beat Tom by just a minute....... :P

I found the bike in Indiana, about 40 miles from Roger. He went and checked it out, and bought it for me. (I sent money) The title was screwy and Roger spent a lot of time getting it sorted for me, so I could plate it when at the Gap. He brought it, so I could ride it, and then took it back home. As he was coming through to visit his daughter and dropped it off here. Roger is the best!

Man we spoiled you this year :D

I just finished helping my son Ben test load his FJR onto our trailer. He and his wife are trailering out the end of this month for the Durango area. Looks like they will be driving right thru your area of operation.

Here's one of the videos I took this past summer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdsbUZt_RJY
I'm on my 1974 GT550L Suzuki and my son is driving his 1987 Toyota MR2! We drove down from Toronto, Canada and back! Almost 3000 miles round trip!
We're doing it again this summer too!
Cliff!

If they run up/down 550 they'll love it. They call it the Million Dollar highway for a reason - spectacular.
