Dont forget about the chopper either, they wont hesitate to bring ol charlie out there. You can drive plenty aggressive and not cross the yellow line. Its very easy to have fun out there and not do stupid things! Be Safe, i hope I can get my car tuned and ready in time!!

One rider I spoke with told me that the driver of the Silver FX4x4 waved him by, and then pulled him over and cited him for passing on the double yellow.

isn't that entrapment?

Yes, it is, but what do you think your odds are of winning that case in Blount County, TN?

I can only imagine what they'd do when a yank walked in there and tried getting out of a ticket...

Hey Folks...probably the one thing to rember about seeing law enforcement on the Dragon is that if you see one, chances are the whole "fam damily" is out there. As was posted before, if you suspect LEO presence, do not cross the dbl yellow, no matter where the apex is. Troopers are no longer content w/just parking by the wayside, they are patrolling and will not hesitate to radio ahead to have a motorist pulled over. Unlike what you all did last spring, I would not call law enforcement ahead of time to tell them there will be 100+ S2K's on the dragon. To me thats like declaring open season. When law enf. makes an appearance, you can expect to see state, blount co, murphy co and knox co...btw..knox co is using BMW's for patrol bikes. When I go (about every other week), I try to go early enough to beat the traffic and Johhny law. Several times I have passed the law enf. caravan coming in as i'm on the way out.

So have a great time and remember if you run up a little silver ACR neon, i'm not racing, i'm just trying to get the hell out of the way.

Have Fun!

Don
