I did it on my GIXXER and it was great ! The best roads in North America. You must drive the Cherahola Sky Way too. The Dragon is tight and technical. The Sky Way is more P-car grounds with 5000+ ft elevations.

I am SO jealous. Supposed to be one of the greatest drives in the world.

We should organize a TO Rennlist trip down to the GAP next summer. It's a Relaxed 15 hour drive at 120 klm. The Dragon is way more fun then Mosport. This is a must drive in ones life time.

Hah! There's no such thing as a "relaxed 15 hour drive" in a 37 year old 4-speed (i.e. 4100 rpm at 120 kmh) with a worn out driver's seat and no AC!

Some of my buddies went to ride their bikes and it was great. They’ve been back at least twice. Couple years ago, one of the major 928 GTG was near Deal’s Gap and part of the run was to go through. All the reviews were positive too.

What about them Coppers?

The Dragon is great, this road nearby is even better:

Do Not Cross the Yellow Lines !!!!!
Cops usually hide after the twisty roads.
Watch out for motorcycles.

The Dragon is bout 30-45 minutes away from me. The best advice I can give you is, DO NOT go during the weekend. If you go on a weekday, it's much more laid back. State Troopers have taken most of the fun out of it in the last few years. Get on youtube and watch some of the videos. The occasional 18-wheeler has been known to try and navigate through it. That's when the disasters happen.

ill br driving thru it on a Thursday Late Afternoon

The other thing to keep in mind is that driving through at night is suicide. If you go off... Pray that you hit a tree otherwise it's a long way down !!! Do not add to the tree of shame!
