Weekly Update - May 18, 2011

As always, shots from the last nine years are up in Our Store here, and be sure to check out the recent additions to the area scenery/wall art selections. Below are some of the highlights from last week.

DON'T FORGET to hit the "Older Posts" link at the bottom of each page to get to the end. ;)

WHEW!  What a weekend...super busy but Saturday I saw one the weirdest things I've ever seen out there.  Traffic was zooming by so fast I could barely keep up, then for almost 3 hours in the middle of the day, it just fell silent...barely a vehicle drove by.  I figured the rapture had begun and imagined bikes laying all along the side of the road, still running and spinning their tires on their sides in ditches.  Turns out it was just a bad wreck and they had to stop traffic to get the rider and bike up the steep bank.  There had just been another wreck up the road too...hope everyone heals up quick.

This weekend is Memorial Day, so Wheeler will be cooking out at his shop...stop by for fresh free food!  Big 2-stroke rally and a couple other groups will be around according to our calendar, and the 4th Fiddy race of the season will take place in the resort parking lot, so lots to keep us busy.  Hope you all have fun wherever you are.  On to the highlights!

This week's cool lead shot.

These guys are featured in more detail on down the update.

Jack got some shots from the Skyway...

Sometimes there are crowds checking you out in the pull-offs. Stay focused.

Sometimes there's a wild dog trying to chase you down and chew on your tassles.

Stay focused.

Moments before ejection.

He went behind the bushes at this point, so couldn't see much else. He was ok though, and walked away from it.

Dragon Beetle

This thing flew in and landed on my arm while I was shooting a string of bikes. You have no idea how violently I started flailing appendages as soon as everyone had gone by.

Despite all the hype, it's a walk in the park for most.

Open road beckons.

Forester XT group rolled through also.

They only had 8-10 cars in the group, but I really like 'em, and they share a lot of upgradability with the STi.

This one wrecked and it was a bit worse.

Didn't happen near us, but apparently he went WAY down the bank, and got banged up pretty bad.  Leathers and lots of help probably saved his life.
