That's the key to The Dragon. Too much speed on the straights will get you a ticket. I think we usually keep it to MAYBE 50-60 on a clear stretch.

Hellbender... all bets are off. I should know.

And he was probably thinking, "I'll catch up to the biker when he lays it down in a few corners."

Well they didnt write me a state ticket. They wrote me a Public Ordinance ticket. He claimed that its a slap on the wrist for first time offenders. Like maybe only a $20 dollar fine. Sh1t Ill take a nice fat speeding ticket on the Dragon for only $20. Ima frame it, lol.

I think he was trying to get a look at the Koni's. That's why I got pulled over last month.

Also depends on the cops. In 2011 they were basically very lenient with speeders but were cracking down on people crossing the double yellow.

They know they have to strike a balance between keeping the road fun, but also keeping it somewhat sane. Tighten your grip too much and the area loses revenue. Loosen your grip too much and all hell breaks loose!
:Iagree: I heard for more freedom.on the road and less traffic go.during the week

We came down on Tuesday. Started driving the Dragon on Wednesday. Wednesday and Thursday are pretty good. Friday you will most likely see police. Saturday you will definitely see police.

I never once did see a speed trap on Hellbender, though. Surprised me since I saw a couple last year. Sometimes a cop will sit at the boat landing before the bridge and pick people off carrying triple digit speeds.

We have a road here that runs through Muir woods and out to Stinson beach. Highway 1.

The best line is in your lane and never going over the Line..The Bike's love the road and the groove is in your lane. Also the turns are so tight that and blind that you have to stay in your lane, and also the drop off is certain death..

I have never had so much fun in my life...It reminded me of being 12 and on a carnival ride..You would suck in air on the straightaways and hold your breath in the turns..

I used to run my Z/28 out there and amaze people with it's handling, BEFORE I installed the coil overs, A arms, Hotchkis, ect...

My neck would be sore for week... I can remember being WOT and having sports cars turn around to TRY to catch me..They never did.

True it was in the 1990's and we only had 300Zx's back then, and the Corvette's were still lame, but they couldn't catch me.. Now days the cars are way faster and high tech. I would have the choice of two sweet cars to run.

But try it on a weekend ?? Bumper to bumper, and fricken Winnebago's all over...5 to 10 miles an hour the whole way..

But to be real, I am 52, and I would not drive like that on that road again.

But if you live near Marin County, you probably have run your Z car on that road...Or you should, just NEVER on a weekend.

mr.alcheng- oh craps...u remembered...

in the z there's not much good visibilty so i didnt opt for the blendmount for my V1.
one of the biggest reasons why i dont like suction cups for nav is the same reason. blocks view + rings left on glass.
