I made photo of the week for one of the places that takes pictures at the Dragon/Deals Gap. I am at the bottom on the right on the CB. Vote early and often for me.

Too hard.

I got you covered. Yours definitely has the most class. Don't know that I would trailer anything or ride with bags there....to each his own I guess... Hope you had a blast. Bike looks great out there.

Currently in 2nd. I would appreciate a huge push from the group to get me into and stay in the lead.

I would not think so. Why would it be?

Went on my F2 once... That was enough for me... Too many damned crazies out there. I had fun, when I wasn't being passed by arrogant jerks. There are a few other roads I chose to frequent instead that were less "known" therefore less packed....

About 2 or 3 decades ago I found this road by accident on the family vacation pulling a 27 ft. travel trailer not fun.

You click on the stars below the picture.

Yes there is lots of stupid there. I make my runs early in the morning before most people are up. Friday and Saturdays I pretty much avoid it. There are many many other amazing roads to ride in the area.

agreed. I went mid summer, saturday,
one year.... swore I'd never go back.
I have spent time in so-cal, Upstate NY, Lower PA and Far North Idaho.... All have amazing, roads and besides So-Cal, much less people, and less of a chance for a visit from Johnny-Law.

Earlier today when I voted on my tablet it was in the 160 range for your bike and the blue old Vette was in the 120s. Now you are in the 228 range when I voted from home on the desktop...blue vette trails at 138...
So, unless the Vette owner has a community to push them up past you, then they are setup for the fail.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #22 on:** June 10, 2013, 03:52:39 pm »

Voted...

Sixgunsrattlesnake · « **Reply #23 on:** June 10, 2013, 08:48:09 pm »

I just checked, and all the votes have been reset... WTF? Is it just my link?

RAFster122s · « **Reply #24 on:** June 10, 2013, 09:15:55 pm »

Site info at the top indicates if vote stuffing is suspected it will result in the voting results being reset.
Different front runner now as a result of the reset...

Revoted. This reset thingy is stupid.

Congrats! So, where is the poster going to hang?
Did you see the October 31 accident poster? Vette nailing a biker with biker airborne.

Harsh · « **Reply #30 on:** June 11, 2013, 06:17:53 am »

Thanks for the votes everybody. FYI the warning about resetting the votes at the top was because two years ago someone wrote a script to automatically vote for their bike. Dave (the owner) noticed it pretty quickly and killed it.

Thanks to your votes I won. The pictures have been changed which is why it may appear that votes have been reset.

I did see the vette/flying biker. There was a big story on it and if I remember correctly the biker blew the corner and hit the vette. While I was there I saw a Fiero hit the hill and a Porsche partially climb a hill and come slamming back down to the road.

Love the kid giving the bird to the camera. Let's hope his dad/mom, or whoever he is riding w/ has a good sense of humor if they see it.

Harsh · « **Reply #32 on:** June 12, 2013, 06:58:10 am »

Since they reset it here is the pic. What I like is that the pic was taken on the very first ride up the Dragon. I was taking it pretty easy to feel how things were going to go.

I also made Killboys highlight page

Funny thing I noticed about both pics is that I forgot to turn on the headlight. Oops

That's a lot of sexy bike right there!

RAFster122s · « **Reply #34 on:** June 12, 2013, 12:10:30 pm »

Nice shots and congrats again. Matt and frame that puppy.
Figured from the tire marks on the road the bike crossed over and hit the vette.
Glad you had a positive experience.
What is your paint scheme for the bike going to look like?
