I ummm, held up pretty decent. At the most, there was at least 13+ seconds between the group and me. (my first 3 minutes on the Dragon.) but after the 5th minute during the continuous switchbacks, I loved it. The car would transfer weight ever so beautifully. It truly felt like bouncing side to side on a trampoline.
With my noob driving skills, I felt more comfortable taking it with TWO lanes, or 1 1/2. I stuck some of the turns perfectly, and man... did it feel good. But for some reason, the right turns are more forgiving than the left ones. I think it's just the angle and placement of the A-Pillar that effects my visibility.
I'll stop here, way to much for a pict. thread.

You cannot use both lanes on the dragon. You will kill someone doing that! Bikes fly by at 80+ MPH at times. You could hit one and kill them, or force them off the road like that. If you can't stay on the right side of the road slow down until your skills get better. You have to know your limits and stay within them bro. I know I can't hang with ETF (or Mr. bean if I had to place a bet on it, Oh what a great Mini) so I don't push it that far and stay in my limits.
The meet was a blast both on and off the road as the party went into the wee hours of the morning. To all that were there, it was great to meet you all.
To all that didn't make it, Sorry and hope you can make it next year.
Props go out to the only EX to show up and to the Toyota/ (civic undercover) that will be a legend on the dragon after this weekend...LOL.
