Thom, I was JUST thinking that as I was looking at the pictures again. We will have to convoy out there with minimac2005 next year!

BTW, you need a signature and pictures in your gallery! I think that it should be a CMMC rule!

I confess I have no real plans to make a trek to the Dragon myself, but it does definitely warm the soul seeing all those happy MINIs gathered in one place.

Just got back, and the dragon itself is between 10 & 50 MPH.
Just wild!
Even saw a bike eat it just before the dragon. He could not handle the curve, slid off the pavement, flipped the bike twice. He was very luck and walked away. The odd part is me and another MINI stopped to help him and he would not even talk. Just keep working on his bike, what a ****.

I only live about 2 hours from the dragon so I will be going there before MOTD 2007!

You must come if at all possible next year.

Well, folks came here from Canada and various places on the West Coast. I think no one regretted the trip.

I think I was the other MINI driver and I am also from Chattanooga.
The guy was rude indeed, but I think he was stunned a bit. I told some Harley guys at the Fontana Village gas station about him and they went there to check on him. I figured maybe he can relate more so to fellow motorcyclists.

Cheers,
H

Ever drop a bike?........You're pissed, embarrassed, pissed, a little in shock; the last thing you (some people) want to do is talk to someone. Not making excuses, I'm just sayin....

Thanks everybody for posting all the great pics. It almost feels like I was there. Okay, maybe not, but it helps.
