Great pic!
Check out photo #64....either that's an R1 or the hardest working R6 on the planet! The fork already looks compressed and I don't think he's braking.

Duck007... #64 on the same day? On my screen what came up didn't look like what you were talking about. Some guys were getting some great lean angles out there though, that's for sure!

Surprised you can do that anymore down there, the cops are usually all over you!

Ahh, yeah... I see what you mean. When you said compressed suspension I was looking for someone with some radical lean angle.

Sure, there are some cops, but it wasn't bad... just too many bikes in general on the weekend. Other roads were plenty fun too, so we didn't feel chained to the Dragon.

Nice pics ! Do you know if KillBoy got a shot of you doing that ? If so ...probably front page material for his weekly update .

That would be cool! Not sure if Killboy got one or not.

I think it was on that run that if they had panned a bit more they would have seen my glove catch on the pavement and almost take me down.

My buddy Chris got some awesome 12mp pics of me tickling the pavement on the Cherohala Skyway later that day. On one pass I felt my hand hit something & it stung like hell. One of the pics shows my finger hitting the reflector between the double-yellows. Super camera skills. Killboy look out!

I'll post the pics when he emails them to me. He's a little busted up after hitting a raft that flew off an SUV.

Nice, If I just knew how to photoshop some Devil highmounts onto that bike I could tell people it was me!

I read this reply before looking at the pics...and knew exactly which pic he meant when I stumbled across pic 64!
