Speedmaster to NC and the Dragon. After having a Speedtriple in the mountians the last 6 years I was concerned about taking the 06 speedmaster. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. I enjoyed all of the N Carolina roads as much or even better then when I was on the Speed Triple. Our group was 3 Tigers and 1 Speed Triple and the triple was the only one to give me fits since I obviously did not have the power to keep up - especially coming out of the corners.
