Weekly Update - June 6, 2012

This week's highlights are up here:

















...complete with captions for every photo and easier browsing/commenting than ever before.  Plus we were able to get out today and get shots of the Venus/Sun transit and sunset, which I am about to start working on for highlights. (We normally couldn't do anything on Tuesdays and most of Wednesday before switching the highlights over to Facebook)

Last week was a little slower...we had a couple of minor get-offs...one broken ankle around mile marker 2 on a cruiser.  This week/weekend there are several groups on Tha Calendar, and Fiddy racing Saturday night at the Deals Gap resort, so stop by and enjoy some carnage...I mean, good clean racing. :)

I see that the flap with us nay-sayers about moving the Highlights to Facebook has not impaired your sense of humor, Darryl. Several smiles and a couple of LOL's for me among your captions. Also some great shots. Rock And Write On!

Bummer - Since I choose not to have a Facebook account due to privacy concerns, I guess I am losing out on something I really enjoyed - the weekly highlight pix...

Yeah, facebook, twitter what could go wrong?

SilverSTreak, the highlights are still available. You don't have to be on or join Facebook to view the pix. Just click on the link. What you can't do is post your own comments (without joining Facebook).

Hey Darryl, The last episode of Cafe Racer on the Velocity Channel is 6-7-12. Did I miss the segment they filmed on the Dragon?

Darryl Cannon aka "killboy" said...

It hasn't aired yet that I'm aware of. I guess it'll be next season. :(

Try a different viewing on Facebook by selecting "comment view" instead of "album view" (upper right area) this will let you view the picture and the comments at the same time -- also for a "hands-free" viewing use the auto scroll and you can pick you nose while the computer scrolls for you....stop bitchin' and enjoy the show! Thanks for all you do & Love ya killboy & killgurl!! Yo Momma ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

Ruh-roh... We woke up Killmom.

Ya'll gonna make me come over there!! hehe

OK, here's a thought for us Facebook skeptics: view the pix but/and continue the dialogue on this site.

No idea if it would work. A lot of clicking back and forth, and what we are referring to not immediately clear by viewing a (the) pic. On the other hand, we might get a couple of LOL's and maybe some interesting threads once in a while.

I just hate to lose the voices of (to name two) RC 51 Mark and 2WO.

And we could let the "useless" debates continue to rage on the Facebook site. The long thread this week there about ATGATT was repetitive and sad. OF COURSE you wear gear. Anyone who doesn't is nuts. But you're never going to persuade him with sensible arguments. So why waste the keystrokes?

I miss Darryl!

Yup, yup, hmmm, okay, that *wuz* a little bit of gratuitous arse-smoochin!

BUT seriously?

Nothing but sincere respect and admiration for the man who brought us plebes that entertainingly unique bit of moto-action-bloggin-floggin FUN!

Any pissin n' moaning done by myself about the Facedown move is nothing but BIG compliments to you and what you created, good sir!

As a matter of course, you must follow the course that works best for YOU, Darryl.

A Sicere Thank You for all the Time and Effort you put into killboy.com!

Thanks as well to ALL involved in that quality endeavor, natch!

Also sending out thanks and respect to all you Dragoneers!
