Default Dragon Photographers

The two guys (and one gal), one in the yellow Xterra and the other in the silver Neon, taking pictures all day at the Dragon have a website where they sell pictures/t-shirts/mugs of the various cars and bikes that come through the Dragon. The guys were using 5 Megapixel SLR cameras, and the quality appears to be pretty good. The pictures from this weekend will probably be up wednesday or thursday.

Funny how they put your pic right over the crashed bike.

Is there something you're not telling us?

Me? Everyone knows that I drive defensively and do not break the laws!!

I drive safe... the speed limit... slow in the curves.... don't pass on the double yellow... heck.... I'm always the last one in the pack.... and then I even fall behind!!!

I'm just wondering if Airgate will ever ride with me again! We had a nice little drive down to Fontana Dam and back to 129 looking for Sheila and Ron. I may have exceeded the speed limit on that road in a stretch or two... but then I think the speed limit was 45 or 55.... and I know a few stretches where we may have hit that speed!!

Since I'm soooooo well known, I'll give drivers ed classes to anyone who wants them.... maybe I'll go volunteer at the local high school to teach those young adults how to drive!!

I can't tell which are me, which are Hiro, Mike, Meyer, or any of the other silverstones... the downside of having the best color!
