I rode the Dragon this summer with the wife both directions.
Had a good time and it was on the bucket list, now it's time to move on.
Been there done that....

Seriously what business does a semi have travelling that road???????????????

I agree with the others, tons of other great roads that are less travelled.

+1 Well said brother!
