Some motorcycle driver crashes there on a regular basis all by themselves, all from excessive speed and driving like an idiot.

There are these pull offs all along the route so you can move over and let a fast bloke fly by.
I was running it with my buddy who had just bought a E30 M3 and was christening it on the Dragon. We were taking it easy since he was getting used to the car. We had Killboy run up on us in his S2000. We both pulled over and let him by.
He ended up stopping a little ways up and took some pics of us and posted them on his blog (back when he had it) and thanked us for our good manners.
Not every pass was a hot one, that day I posted about above, there were 2 of us up front that got into a good rhythm, the cars were happy and drivers were too moving at a good pace.
FYI - the only time I put a tire off was when I was driving slow, Fastpat was out behind me in his Z3, he fell far behind. I slowed down keeping an eye on my rear view making sure he was OK, I got caught out on a decreasing radius curve driving 25 MPH.
