    Ok, fess up. Who made it? I was there and I got pics including a few VFRs. Whoever you are that has all the duct tape holding your tail section together, I got a picture and it's gonna be up here. I also saw a personal tag VTWIN X2. I thought that was pretty good. Lots and lots of customs. I'll be posting up pics prob tomorrow or soon. I think I have some decent track action shots...

    I was there. Arrived just in time to see a Ducati bite it on the gravel road in the parking area. NEVER grab the front brake on gravel! :biggrin: I'll upload some pics later...

    I was there.............ok, actually I was in front of the TV at a friends house watching it. So technically I was no in CA for the race, but I was there in spirit. lol I hated to see Nicky get bumped by Hopkins. It seemed Nicky cut in tight after he went wide, but Hopkins also straigned out his. If Hopkins had kept turning, they might not have collided. Up to that point, Nicky had a great start.

    For those of you wondering what the hell these two are talking about, here's the deal... My cell fell out of my tank bag at the gas station at home and I didn't realize it until the gathering point 30 miles away. No prob right cause I am with 5 others with cells. No big deal, call home and have their number sent to Tori, right? Well, anyway, the overzealous parking directors broke the line after my friends got through and then sent me totally opposite of my friends. I waited and waited and waited at the crossover but nobody ever showed up. Screw it, I'm here to watch a race, right? I took off and looked around. Got lots of pix, saw some races, got a nice sunburn, all by my lonesome. :biggrin:

    Alright........sheesh. This is all i have right now, my brother took these and just sent them to me. We watched the superbike race at turn 2. Its a great place to watch, as the guys have just come off the big straight and are "trying" slow things down. This picture sequence is of the start of the race, and a little tangle that unfolded right in front of us.

    pics and more pics from the track

    Okay guys, it took me about 2 hours to go through my pix from the pas couple days. I cut them down some but there are still quite a few. This may take a while to load. That's your warning. Anyway, I'm gonna try to keep this pretty much in the order I remember them.

    Here goes:

    The departure...
    [​IMG]

    After this, I headed over to Chris' house to meet him and Curtis. Once we got going we met up with everyone in Cambria. Unfortunatley, this is where I realized that my cell phone was back in Atascadero. Oh well, c'est la vie.

    The Gathering:
    [​IMG]

    After this, it was a mad romp up Hwy 1. As usual, no laws were broken, no speed limits broken, no double yellows crossed, etc. Anyone who says otherwise is suffering from delusions and I don't care if they do have video tape.

    I crashed at a house Frank rented. Frank rides the GSXR 100 that you may remember from a run we did a few weeks back. Anyway, it was on some golf course maybe some of you golfer types have heard of...something like pinto beach, no wait Pebble Beach, yeah that's it. :biggrin: Anyway, here's the garage at the house...

    [​IMG]

    I snapped this pic the morning of the race. Little did I know it would be the last pic of all of us together...

    A pretty sight:
    [​IMG]

    I saw this thing near where I stored my gear for the day. They had a gear check station for donations by the Christian Bikers Assn.

    [​IMG]



    Anyone recognize this tail?
    [​IMG]

    or this one?
    [​IMG]

    Famous Dunlop Bridge:
    [​IMG]

    After crossing the bridge, I got into all the vendor stuff... It was kinda like Mecca for bike enthusiasts. Keep in mind, this was my first race. I figure if I'm gonna go to a sportbike race, it's gonna be the biggest one of the year...

    Here's some advertising for the sponsors of said event....
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And here's a plug for Mother's Auto Wax:
    [​IMG]

    And another:
    [​IMG]

    Ok, now a few customs... I have some cannery row shots also but I'll drop them in another post as I have been sitting here so long my butt is numbing....

    Okay, I'm tired so here's what I'm gonna do... Hit the link below to go to my gallery and see even more pics if your brain isn't full yet. I have some track action pics in there and pics from the ride home also....
