	First article: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/may/26/blount-officers-work-to-tame-the-dragon/ Second: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/may/26/052608dragonside/ On two occaissions I've had motorcycles recklessly pass me on a blind, outside turn.  This is a public road, not a race track.  I'm glad to see more enforcement and I have no problem with THP sometimes placing numerous patrol cars on the dragon.  If they're really writing huge tickets for minor infractions as the second article suggests, that's probably over-board.  But I think the increased enforcement is a good thing.  We do take some risk paddling whitewater.  But we do that by choice and in a way that does not endanger others (ok, some reckless boaters do enganger other boaters, but that's something you kinda gotta expect when you put on).
