Actually, John's girl was shooting photos and I heard even video from the back of his bike. I'm eager to see if any came out.

Cherohala is an awesome ride - honestly way more fun than the Dragon.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that. After last years ride I was way more looking forward to Cherohala. What i learned from this years trip is that I need to finish the CB750 STAT! The 350 is perfect for the Dragon but on 100miles or so of the fast roads sustained RPM's of 6, 7, and 8k on a small twin rattles you ass and nuts to pieces.
 
Here's a few of us that I've found so far.. towards the bottom of the first page and the top of the second page.

The link will just take you to the first page of photos. Go to page 14 to find us. I'm waiting for Killboy to get their photos from that day up, I've heard they always get the best angles. Kristen took quite a few, I'll get those put up as soon as I get a couple of minutes.
 
Whoops, yeah my wife point that out too. Photos of us are also here

Around page 17. I had a GREAT time riding with you guys on Saturday. Hands down the best day of riding, and best group of people I've ever ridden with. Im looking forward to barber again even more now. And if you guys would like, ill keep the jar of moonshine around till then so we can share it at Kiley's. Afterall, this IS the dirty south.....
 
I upload load them to flickr and paste the links in with the IMG tag, but you can just attach them by clicking on the arrow next to "Attachments and other options" and the bottom of the text field when you're posting a reply.

Please do!
 
Please tell me you guys did another podcast recording?! That, along with the Cherohola of course, was probably the most fun last year.
 
Okay here goes.

Let's hope this video works. CafeRedneck pulls over to let me around and I think it's DJElliot that I catch up to.
 
I had a great time! Thanks again to Flug for organizing. The whole weekend went off without a hitch (other than insufficient ball weight) until we were trailering home. Suffice to say, I have a brand new 45 Garage sticker to cover the dent DJElliot's brake lever knocked into my gas tank. At least we know how to properly tie bikes down on POCPhil's trailer now. :)
And thanks to DJElliot and his family for letting me crash on the couch and drink their coffee.

You're welcome anytime brother. In fact you'll be back in a month for Mods vs Rockers and then a few weeks later for mid Ohio. Hopefully I'll have that paint your tank scratched of my brake lever touched up by then ;D.
 
Pictures are up at Killboy.com Apparently, I ride a cruiser now. Flying the DDT patch.

Looks like a lot of our group are in "Sportbikes 2-4pm" 1st page or so.
 
I'm not sure I would call it a cruiser.

I saw the pics of my car! Not worth posting.
 
Anyone notice that the corners they sit up on are some of the slowest ones of the whole road? Like you can get a good lean going around a tight ass, decreasing radius corner at 10mph. Still, some good shots. So pissed I missed it.
 
Yeah but those corners are probably the only sure way they have to get the volume/quality of pics that they do. Sacrifice I guess :/
 
So bummed I missed it for the second year in a row.


Perhaps next year we can aim for a touch later in June, cuz the end of year school activities with my kids still have priority.


Keep the photos and stories coming for those of us who have to enjoy vicariously!
