Default Excitement is building

Well as a few of you know I work what is considered kind of an odd schedule. 4 on, 4 off alternating day and night shift. I got off friday and I took all 4 of my next night shifts off for DBR so now I am off for 12 days straight. The DBR excitement is building now that I am actually on my DBR vacation time. So to feed the frenzy I start looking at pictures from years past.

This is the one that I can't stop staring at:


That's Jason (MulderATO) and myself. It does a sweet job capturing just how curvy our favorite road is. You can make out 5 direction changes in the picture. Bada$$

So to get the good vibes flowing after everyone wanting to mame/kill the lane crossers lets post up some good stuff. Exorcise the demons so to speak.

Everyone post a dragon pic of themself that does a great job showing the true nature of the road so the new guys can try to get a feeling for what the road is about too so they can be just as excited as we are

Get to posting...

I'll this up just once.
Since Im not attending DBR06 no excitement for me.... but WTD07 is a must.



A FL member contacted me and sent me this shot, and he was kind enough to send the a hi-res and it's now my background.


This is a twisty shot from Killboy.


again a Killboy of Jake (Dark_Sub_Rosa), Rob (ERL_S2000), Todd (Lydas2000), and me



you guys have fun and be safe.......and watch out for the lane crossers

Okay, this wasn't on The Dragon, but it was a close by NC road. Sorry Scott.
Just remember to BE CAREFUL!
