For the past four years, I’ve made it to the tail of the dragon at least once a year. The trips used t0 be a biannual trip with Auburn Rider’s. These days, I travel with a few of the guy with rocket city sportsbike club.
After 4 years, I finally went down on the dragon (no pun intended). It was low speed crash with a new tire with which I was not going slow enough during the break in. It was fundamentally a noob mistake to say the least, but I’ll take it any day over a legit crash. There is a bit of a silver lining in decorating the tree with your broken off frame slider. God bless my guardian angel for guiding me into the ditch and not into the oncoming traffic lane.
Helmet, gloves, race pants, and a mesh jacket. All of which fared quite well minus the jacket.
We quickly fixed the bike and rode the rest of the weekend.
