Tenn dont make no $$ off the Dragon except for the citiations. And they foot the bill for all the airlifts n medical attention when riders go down and not covered by ins. Not to mention its the bikers that brought this on. All of us are guilty to a point, some more than others. And it will be us that will make it better by playing by the rules set forth to us.
Ok grown up responsible talk over. The LEO's up there suck. But if ppl watch it fun still can be had.

Yeah, those dudes were moving a little quicker than I would be comfortable with on blind corners. I bet I could have fun out there and remain within 5mph of the SL. As for the cop, he just said bikes were not welcome. He didn't say "you were speeding" or "turn around and get out." Funny how the camera didn't show the rest of the encounter to see if the rider went about his ride. Can you imagine what that LEO has to see down there? How many riders have died there this year alone? That is the ugly side of our sport and I believe if I was an LEO down there I would stop riders for nothing, too. Even if they don't give the rider a ticket, giving them advice to slow down and there was such and such an accident could be enough to make someone go "alright, maybe we should ride a little less aggressively."

RE: Guys riding the Dragon
Can't help that there are so many cops there. Think there are a lot of cops? For each cop there are probably five guys driving like ********. It seems to be OK if a motorcycle crosses the double yellow, doesn't it? It's not. Neither is it if the sideways "gangsta" hat wearing douchebag in his Integra crosses it becuase he thinks he is taking the correct line through the corner. There are cops there because the majority of people who THINK they can drive well can't. And they attempt their lousy skills at the Gap, and invariably crash. Maybe the cops will finally clear out the Darwin idiots and leave the rest of us the road in peace. Public roads are not the place to be hanging off your sportbike, doing 70 MPH around a hairpin -- there are just TOO MANY variables.

. But I don't like how they just point and pull bikes over to "talk" to them and "advise" them on things. We are adults and take responsibility our actions.
