Title: Re: Pics from the Dragon Post by Oldfeller on 07/22/16 at 11:17:26 Me, if there wasn't something coming in the oncoming lane I'd have clipped into the other lane, straightening out the curve and trusting good 'ol Mr. Porkchop to stay somewhere in his proper lane and thus kept him 100% safe while I finished passing him. He's carrying a female, and they deserve a little consideration/protection while their hubby is getting eaten alive by a Savage. ;D But it is good to see an aggressive Savage chewing up them porkchops ...... |

He figured it out once, seems like it was about 310, but the memory is fuzzy. |

Title: Re: Pics from the Dragon Post by Oldfeller on 07/25/16 at 08:50:43 One of the reasons I would bet Dave could eat any Savage out there in a top end contest is Dave himself. He is relatively small and wry and somewhat aggressive in riding nature. He likes to get down low over the tank (lays on his tank bag) and he has a FRESH engine that breathes well. Did Dave get frisky with some other brand of scoot and just pull away from him at will? He can do that, you know. |

Title: Re: Pics from the Dragon Post by LANCER on 07/25/16 at 08:59:19 I tend to agree O/F, Dave is "Quietly Aggressive" and really light weight compared to the rest of us in the 200+ range, and his riding skills are something to be seen. It's a good thing he is on our team ! [ch128521] |

Title: Re: Pics from the Dragon Post by Dave on 07/25/16 at 09:52:47 Thanks or the compliments....I do feel like I am riding well these days - but when a good rider on a sport bike blows past me, I begin to realize that there are others out there that are much faster (and braver). MM and Oldfeller and I have never actually gotten into any kind of a race to see who is the quickest - there is just no reason to push the limits and take a chance of somebody getting hurt. We do sometimes pick up the pace and ride fast enough to get the blood flowing! ;) My bike weighs between 310-320 pounds. Verslagen and I never had a drag race - but when he was at the Dragon event last time I believe his bike and mine are just about an even match at the speeds we were riding. I never have been around Lancer's REX when it was running - but I understand it was likely the winner of any Savage drag race. |

Title: Re: Pics from the Dragon Post by MMRanch on 07/25/16 at 10:59:03 I rode REX once for a short parking lot loop. It was a "Race Engine" ride . Way too much power to open it up in 1st or 2nd gear. Dave there was more than once when you "Just Pulled-away" Friday and Saturday. Usually on a uphill coming out of a curve. |
