    I understand the thinking behind taking the Dragon on a bike, but in a big rig? Come on! Glad the ban is in affect, seen a couple videos/pics where these big rigs get stuck and/or block out the whole road just to make one turn :wacko:

    Well it's about time after decades. Most big trucks don't realize what type of road the dragon is. They just see a short cut to Robinsville on the map. Once on they can't get off. The both states should have been smart enough to close the road to trucks long ago even without all the traffic of today.

    Glad to see it done.

    If a stupid truck driver can't tell from the map, and then the numerous signs, that the road is not suited for anything bigger than a passenger car, they they need to have their truck confiscated, and driver's license permanently revoked.

    After watching some vids on The Dragon of dudes on Harleys, maybe Harleys will be next. Don't look for Indians to be banned.

    One of these days some dude packing mamma and 81.34% of all worldly stuff stuffed into one of those bike trailers is going to jackknife and all aboard are gonna go meet Jesus at the great motorcycle shop in the sky.

    That's my story and ya'll are stuck with it.
