racing is bad. a spirited drive at about 75% of the limit is rewarding and fun. find like minded people to ride with and it will be well worth the time

eastwest2300 · 01-03-2012, 11:29 PM

Yeah, i mean, if I go, I'll definitely run it a couple times, but definitely not into trying to break any records.

Yeah there isn't much to see on the Dragon since it's so wooded. Lots of the other roads are very pretty, though.

HKYStormFront · 01-03-2012, 11:41 PM

yea very true, especially the skyway. highly recommend that one. it's a great drive across the spine of a mountain range. makes for some epic pull-offs

m4a1mustang · 01-03-2012, 11:43 PM

It also makes for a very fast drive.

HKYStormFront · 01-03-2012, 11:44 PM

there is that too...

Yeah I'm pretty much out for ZDayZ this year. Planning a trip to Pakistan with my parents after I graduate, so I'll need to save all my money for that. I should be able to make it for ZDayZ 2013 though

The dragon is overrated. Everyone should do it at least once, but its too much work and the other roads in the area are so much better.

I'll agree with this. The Skyway is a lot of fun and there are a bunch of other roads out there that absolutely have to be driven as well. The Dragon does get repetitive after a while but it's still a ton of fun and it's really tight so it will keep you from reaching plaid speed and getting into big big trouble.

I have to say I probably have more fun driving Hellbender to/from the Dragon than I do on the Dragon itself. I don't know if anyone got zapped for this last year but on Friday or Saturday the cops set up a speed trap at the boat ramp right ahead of the bridge (on the return run to the Resort)... if you aren't careful you can get some big, big tickets right there.
