My folks live about an hour from there. I have tamed the dragon about 5 times on the bike and 3 in the NSX. It's a hell of a trip if you have never been, and cops are not as bad as you would think. Accidents are common, and about a couple of weeks ago there was a fatality. Each time I have been up, a couple of bikes have dumped, with no major injuries. Good Luck, enjoy, and don't get too irritated when a few 2 wheelers fly by on the back tire. I know I love doing that to cagers....

Injector seals take all of 20 minutes.. RELEASE FUEL PRESSURE, pull rail, swap, reinstall.

and BE CAREFUL out there kids.. I'd love to drive the tail, if it was closed at the time. Too much traffic for me to screw with, and I never trust another driver's skills.

Take pics!

Yeah, but I don't HAVE injector seals, and there is nowhere to buy them.

Brad, I hope things work out with the seals. I definitely plan on taking the "Ian Special" on the Tail of the Dragon when I drive her home from NC. If you guys go, be careful!

Are you sure you can't get seals? I'm pretty sure autozone had them, but I found them at a local import parts warehouse for cheaper so I got the seals from them.
