P1000m3 Christmas Ride on "Dragon" 2016

[drfubar]

Christmas was spent on the Dragon. We had a blast. Several people wanted pictures of the Santa Mobile, Santa and Mrs. Claus. Added almost 50 miles to the Honda and it ran great. Certainly not made for that yet it performed well. I didn't push too hard as Mrs. Clause was with me and one mistake and it's over the bank and down into those areas where several bikers have perished. The noise in each corner is my metal cup banging against the sides of the cup holder, not the transmission or anything else. This is a place where suspension components, (shocks), would have benefited the Honda. And yes the sway bar was attached. Those of us who are registered medium speed vehicles need to plan a trip during the week to ride the dragon. I knew how well it performed off-road but it gave me new respect for it's ability, (stock) on road. Maybe someone is up for the challenge of keeping up with me on the dragon when Mrs. Clause is at the North Pole!
Here is a short video, (had a couple of hours of video), of our day.

You drag racing, "I can only go in a straight line", people would get hurt there.

That's excellent! Thanks for sharing. How much fuel did you use? Just wondering the difference between crawling around trails and running open. Merry Christmas!

Got my bumper on, only broke one bolt overtightening it. I need to get to lowes to replace the bolt and then mount my winch on the bumper... Think I'll wait until tomorrow for that.. my ass is tired from getting up and down.

I said I dragraced, didn't say that's all I could do.

Mine has been on half and only took 2 gallons lol. Guess if it's gonna be wrong, that's a good way to do it lol

I know you types... Go fast for 1/4 mile and then stop... Do you realize you'd have to turn both ways not just left to come back to the starting line?

Might have to make a special sway bar for those roads. Maybe half inch bigger in diameter.
