I have to disagree with you here Steve. We all have laws to follow including yourself. If you can't stay on your side of the highway you need to find another route, and if you have to go through the Dragon you need a warning car behind you and in front of you. If we ran into a tractor trailer running the speeds that we were running just last week we'd have a very slim chance of surviving.
Posted speedlimit is 30mph which is a quick pace, much quicker than most Harley's we get behind. Technically the speedlimit is 65 through there, at least until you get to NC, but that's another debate. Either way 30mph going around one of those corners into an 18 wheeler is a bad accident.
