Bub,

A Lupin blue with a Remus titanium can - Thats the faster of the fast blue ones - The only possible thing you can do to make that go faster now is fit the �Bravo wings� (engine spoiler)😬

Probably the biggest difference between Bub and the standing bike is where they are looking.
Rule one - try not to stare at the photographers on the inside of the turn.... If you're not practiced at riding in one direction and looking in the other, you'll be wearing the camera and trying to buy up the rights to the picture before it gets printed on a website for all to see.

Zitat von Blackshirt im Beitrag #13
I rode with a group to the �Dragon� when I lived in Knoxville, TN. By the end of the ride I had called two ambulances and repaired two Sportsters. The photos of that road don�t always show what a difficult route it is. Shade and sun alternate, lots of wet spots, decreasing radius turns, and many blind corners and hilltops. Folks accustomed to riding on straight roads should take it easy the first time through...

Were the Sportsters rentals?
What a zoo. I hadn't been on 129 in some years. I rode it on a rainy Thursday afternoon in 2018 5 31 dragon US129.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)May on my way to a meeting in Baltimore. I felt like I spent an inordinate time in the wrong lane to get past hordes of white-knuckled HOG wannabees, who rode like they had never bothered to learn how to ride a bicycle.

Most of the year, the local chamber of commerce should close it and manage it like a track. Beginners group orientation and ride at the top of the hour....

The Cherohala Skyway is near the Dragon, and I think it's much more enjoyable, and more scenic. The Dragon is intense, and I'd say everyone should take it easy the first dozen or so times through. Build your speed gradually or end up with pieces of your bike in the Tree of Shame.
