WARNING
US129 (The Tail of the Dragon section) is not for beginner motorcycle riders. Riding the Dragon can be a very enjoyable and scenic experience as long as you operate your motorcycle at a safe pase, keep a reasonable distance between vehicles and keep aware of the road.
The Dragon Run 2013 carries no insurance regarding the ride/event so you ride at your own risk. Please make sure your insurance is valid on your motorcycle. We provide an escort through the local law enforcement to control the pase, but that is all. This is not to scare riders away. This is so you respect the road so you can enjoy the ride. This makes the 3rd year doing this ride and we have had not one rider with incident. We would like to keep this tradition.
Ride Safe!
Video below is a nice pace and shows an enjoyable ride.
