No more tractor trailers on the Dragon. Done sooner, this would have saved some lives. I guess better late than never though

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Finally happened. Great news

That's been in place since last year on the NC side....Tractor trailers are still allowed on the TN side...Our idiots (State Congress) deep in the lobbyists pockets...Are saying it would impact commerce if TN stopped semi's from using the Dragon!! :cus:

So they come in on the Tenn side and get ticketed on the NC side. Blame Killboy?, what an asinine comment. I live up there and this is great news for us locals that deal with these issues more than once a year while on vacation.

Actually Killboy has brought much needed attention to the problem by posting all the stupid truck crash photos. They even forward them to the trucking companies--"how's my driving"..... here's a pic!

I would hate to make this kind of accusation without some proof. Personally, I would be very surprised if Killboy lobbies anyone for anything, but for this and for the reason you give... I just don't see it.
Killboy does just fine without needing to take pictures of a motorcycle wedged up under a semi.
Blame the politicians, we've got ample proof that they have dropped the ball on this one.

BTW, this:
How's that going to work in practice? If Tenn hasn't banned them, they'll still come in and go out the NC side, they can't turn around. I can't imagine that'll be good for interstate relations.
Meaning, I think that the NC ban would be practical going *into* Tennessee, but I'll be surprised if they can enforce coming out of Tennessee.
You know the area better than I do-- CAN trucks turn around at the state line?
Bottom line: I'll withhold my cheers until Tennessee bans them, too.
But whadda I know? That's just another asinine comment. :joke:

opcorn:opcorn: I am just going to watch this discussion. I would not ride the Dragon because of the trucks. They do make the ride potentially more dangerous.I am surprised that the two states can't get together on this. IMO the trucks are clearly a safety issue.

It can't be faster... so I'm guessing that it's a bit of a shortcut?? :dontknow:
