Dragon update:

My planning and preparations for my trip to the Tail of the Dragon continue. I'll be going with my friend Big Chris at the end of August . This past Monday, I went to Iron Pony Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio to pick up some wet weather gear (just in case), saddlebags, and a tire repair kit. To make some time, I tried to keep a pace that was just a bit above the speed limit. Well, the man caught me.... breakin' the law! breakin' the law! Clocked at 86 in a 65-- a stupid mistake on my part, speeding past a weigh station. On top of that I knew the Ohio Highway Patrol was in the midst of a statewide speeding crackdown because speed kills! Riiiight, revenue enhancement is the reason. But he was a nice guy, he asked me about the bike in a freindly manner and I was detained for no more that 15 minutes. Anyway, the dates are set, the gear (for the most part) has been purchased and after the bike has been in for it's 7000 mile service I will be ready to go!
