A dumb place to play. Narrow roads, over the center line, oncoming traffic, guard rails everywhere and lots of cops. I have ridden it on a motorcycle many times. I can't tell you how many people I know who have crashed there.

Yeah. And, 99% of us do it too. So, I won't lecture and if unless you NEVER exceed the speed limit of the like, you shouldn't either. 09 SL 65, right? I'd bet my last dollar at some point, you dipped into her on a publc road.

Running Tail of the Dragon late in the year or early in the year is much safer.
Very little traffic on the road then.
