Looks like a lovely road. It looks very popular. I read a short wiki about it, is the speed limit really 30mph? And could you go much quicker? Those road videos often don't convey the same sense of speed you have when you're actually there.
Yes the speed limit is 30.....some folks obey that...some don't.
Even at 30 mph there are some corners that cannot be ridden at that speed. I tend to ride it a bit faster on the straights - still the corners keep you from going fast all the time.
The road is patrolled regularly - it doesn't take long for word to get around. However if you are riding when they show up you may not be forewarned in time (Sometimes riders will give you hand or headlight signals as you approach the speed trap. I have pulled over on the side of the road and watched on occasion - and when you are sitting still it becomes obvious who is riding aggressively and who is not......the Police can hear if you are keeping a steady riding speed or accelerating on the straight sections long before you get to where they are sitting....they know when they need to use their radar!

Yeah Rylee, I do enjoy the decel pop. I actually just installed the HD muffler a few days before the tail of the dragon ride. I like that I am more noticeable to cars now.
