While on the subject of Dragon crash videos I have one on my GoPro from the rally. Well, not quite the crash. Let me explain. On the Monday following the rally Cormanus and I decided we would have another look at the Dragon. As we made our way up, Cormanus was leading, I noticed a small group of "sporties" rapidly closing from behind. Not wanting to spoil anyone's fun I pulled to the right, as did Cormanus shortly thereafter. About five or so corners later, maybe even that corner shown in the semi video (I will have to have a close look), we caught them up. Not hard to do really as they had come to a complete stop. One of their number had become part of the scenery by running wide on a leftie and planting himself into the embankment. His two mates were rendering assistance, so Cormanus and I went around them and entered a small pullover around 70 meters up the hill. Cormanus went back to see what the situation was and I started to wave at bikes and cars to slow them up. Those blokes were taking up more room than was advisable on the Dragon. To cut a short story even shorter, the rider was slightly damaged, shocked but OK, the bike was damaged but sort of rideable. They regrouped and proceeded at a very sedate pace back to whence they came. Cormanus and I mounted up and enjoyed our Dragon experience.
