The operative word in Les's post is ease off the gas. If you get the rear hung out a bit and come off the gas hard you will get one hard sidways whiplash. Yes I learned that the hard way. Get used to some extream 1st gear situations playing around in that wide open abandoned parking lot and the 2nd gear stuff you experience on the road will be a piece of cake. Relax about the Dragon, it is a good thing and you will take to it like a duck to water.
