Forget about the "Dragon" Let me suggest a slight change in your route that is better than the Dragon. Less Cars. (30 miles of it... hardly any cars at all) 55 speed limit, unlikely to see a CHP, and its pretty much on your route. Oh, and you can ride though a tree at the end.

Excellent photography!

I have these things called "friends" which I would miss, from time to time. I'd make more of course but all the duct tape and newspaper is expensive...

It will be very nice to have a support vehicle to lug your stuff in. I would tell you to go a different route and do the BRP/Dragon, but you seem to have all that covered. The roads in Colorado are absolutely amazing, make sure you do the million dollar highway.

You should be able to find some helpful hints on what not to do on our excellent adventure thread.  ;)

Keep in mind, Steve, that deluges follow Matador wherever he goes. YMMV

I'll know to avoid the dark clouds that seem to hang over nice riding roads then. ;)

+1 on the million dollar highway [thumbsup].  The most awesome road I've ridden.  When I did it there were too many RVs, so pick your time carefully.  Not really the place to rip it up.  Low side in a turn and go over a 500 ' cliff.

So if you can't resist this sort of thing, put a camera in the chase cars windshield. Might as well live on as a horrible warning  ;D

very nice, how comfortable is it? That has the same engine as the speed triple right? If so it will be a very fun trip  [evil].
