I want to do this ride

I rode it this past Monday, in the dark in the opposite direction.  The Skyway
is more fun and lasts longer.

Speaking of which...  Can anyone figure out why this idiot crashed
*after* the truck was well clear?

Oh good, a new one!  I was glad to see you didn't post the oft seen vid of
the H-D crash.

As to your question, I think the rider target fixated at the big tree.  You
can even see him stand the bike up straight up and head right at the tree.

Every video I see at the Dragon reflects how heavy and unpredictable the
traffic is on that road.

Unfortunately, I believe this is a case of a great road being loved to
death.  I am sure there other roads very nearby that aren't nearly as
heavily travelled and provide a better solitary riding experience.

 

My watching of it... there was a trailer behind the
truck that was still swinging around.  You can ask
the guy, he's replying to comments on his YT vid.
