I finally had a chance to upload the pictures that I took from the weekend tonight, they're all in my photobucket album that you can find here (http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/rascal_rascal_99/TotD%20Fall%202006/) ...I didn't delete any, so you get the good, the bad and the more badder too.

I do want to say thank you to everyone who showed up, I think it was everyone together that made it such a wonderful weekend...Jane Ann, you were certainly missed though, hope you're feeling much better and we'll definitely be doing this again when you can be part of it too.

Now on to sharing some shots...

The first pic of the weekend for me...I'd thought the weather was going to turn sour, but it stayed as nice the whole weekend as it started.

Another shot from the opposite end of the line...

And then Tammy ran off. Actually she was leaving so that she could go find a spot to sit and shoot some pic's of the rest of us going by.

Then we were off again...my copilot made a great effort of getting some shots while we were rolling....obviously this wasn't one of them. Purty green blur though aint it!

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/rascal_rascal_99/TotD%20Fall%202006/CIMG0896.jpg

Some were much better though...there's quite a few more like these that I didn't link to....this was along the ride out Charahala Skyway.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/rascal_rascal_99/TotD%20Fall%202006/CIMG0925.jpg

As we all know though, sometimes we just don't quite get the pic we thought we were aiming at....

Eventually we pulled off for a bit to shoot a few pic's and head back.

And after one last trip up the dragon, there was finally room to stop at the northern overlook that marks the north end of the dragon...usually it's crammed full of bikes too much for cars to stop.

Part 2 (http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h221/docbrew/Tail%20of%20the%20Dragon%202006/?action=view&current=dragon2.flv)

Ya, I dubbed over the original sound track. Listening to the exhaust rumble was great until you got to the part where I turned up the country music and the wife and I started talking.

Love the vids - especially the "Life In The Fastlane" with Vid 2! :upthumbs
