Stephatron Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 I doubt a bicycle rack could hold the weight of a motorcycle. I know, I was kidding ... Mike started playing on Facebook about it so I thought I could carry the joke over onto the forum
RDG_RCR Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Posted April 16, 2013 If anyone has a the tow package on their mini, they could possible tow the bike
Stephatron Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 If anyone has a the tow package on their mini, they could possible tow the bike Beau does but he's in Afghanistan and Alice (his MINI) is in California. So there goes stealing Alice lol
Edge Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Here's a nice little video of Killboy doing his thing on the Dragon last Saturday: (it was supposed to be 12 minutes long but it got cut short somehow, to 7:34) "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Edge Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 Good video find, thanks Tyler! Note that some of the roads they showed in it are not the actual Dragon but rather the Hellbender (Rt 28)... not that it really matters because that's an awesome road too. I really appreciated that none of the MINIs in the video crossed the double yellow! :top: "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Stephatron Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 7 minutes of heaven just went to a whole new level!!! ... IS IT TIME YET?!
Edge Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Another 12 minute video from Killboy, shot yesterday. He does a good job of explaining the challenge of this particular turn (called "Killboy Shadetree Corner") on the Dragon, which has multiple apexes... and many people struggle to stay between the lines because they set themselves up incorrectly. Staying off the double yellow is both a safety matter and a skillful challenge... because if you can't do it, you are driving beyond your limits. Take some pride in being able handle the road, instead of letting the road handle you! Besides, you come to the Dragon to enjoy the curves & corners... why straighten them?

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Great video Kind of scary seeing all the vehicles that straighten out that second part of the turn and cross over the double yellow. These are nice little videos, I subscribed Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
cmcveay Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 I want to go out to some of those spots at night (or dusk) and get shots of the cars coming through the chicane with their lights on. I've got a picture of how it should come out in my head.
