I believe you, Dolph.  But, then, I rode Deal's Gap 25 years ago when you rarely saw another bike on it, too.  Keep yer mouth shut about your area or it'll become squid central every weekend just like the Crossroads of Time.

As to etiquette.  The only advice I'd give you is the same advice I give to any newb (not a derogatory term, but rather a descriptive one) I ride with.  Ride your ride.  Ride smoothly and hold your line.  Apex late if you can't see through the turn, and have lots of fun.

If I want to pass, I'll pass.  If you want to pass me, please feel free.  I promise I won't hit you on the way by.  Please don't hit me.

The rest is gravy.   [coffee]

Cloner,

I understand what you are saying.

I appreciate your point of view as it pertains to my riding style and the need for such " wild " places like the Dragon was 25 years ago and my roads are now.

Although at my advanced age , I doubt I will be riding long enough to see the day when overcrowding is a problem in my " little piece of paradise ."

We should all ride are own ride as long as we don't interfere w. that of others.
