I know people get tired of hearing about this road but the entire 11 miles is almost entirely like the video. Actually this seems to be some of the milder areas.

Biker magazines rate this as the top road to drive. I would love for people around the country to share a section of road that they feel is comparable to the dragon.

Some requirements that I think make this road speccial:

1. No road connections or driveway connections for entire 11 miles

2. Reasonable police enforcement

3. Have a photographer like Killboy

Please post your roads....I would love to travel and experience them

I've never been on or heard of any public road like the Dragon. If you're a surfer it is like getting the best wave of your life over and over again

Who was the guy driving so slow in front of you

I have been to the Dragon 5 times and never driven it at night. I did drive across the Cheohola Skyway one night and murdered about 6 gazillion bugs.

Amazing that in almost 7 minutes of video only one other car passed by.

I really like the curves at the 6:20 mark. I haven't learned the names of the curves like some diehard people have.

Thanks for posting the video.

it was also cool of those people to pull over and let us go by them.
