Well,....there's a reason for that on the dragon.



Here's another one of those outside of Austin, this time a twofer.....



The guys filming the video reminded me very much of myself in my riding days, moving fast and well-spaced, and then coming up on a couple of slow moving Harleys, 'cept in this case the Harleys may have wrecked on account of pulling over to let the others pass.

I gotta say though for every Harley wreck there's gotta be a hundred sportbikes lost it on the outside of turns, or worse, drifted into the opposite lane while leaned hard over eek

I ain't happy to see any motorcycle go wheels-up, these folks seemed inept, maybe they were on rented Harleys.
