Dick, thanks for the comments.  The photos where you can see the windscreen in the shot (and a couple where you cannot) were taken with the bike moving anywhere between 30 and 45 mph (depending on conditions) with the cruise set.  I used a Canon PowerSot A75 which is a 3.2 mega pixel digital camera.  I continue to be impressed by the quality this relatively low-end unit produces.  Plus, it powers up very quickly and is made to fit your hand, making shots like those possible.

The 4x6 prints I had made of these photos are equally impressive. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Thanks for the information....As I review your details, that makes it even more impressive...That model is rated highly on Consumer Reports...good buy, as you know.

Thanks and be careful taking the pics while riding...dropped one of my cameras while doing so and almost wreaked.  After that, I try not to take 'em while I ride.

Dick

Looking good Brian. FYI, I found your pics on page 6 and 7 and 8, not 4 and 5.  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] Gotta love the Dragon. Looks like it was a colorful ride.

You're right, there are some more on those pages, too.  I had turned around to talk to the photographer at that point, though, so they are not "at speed." [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

The ones earlier on (where I am on the "outside" lane) were coming down for the first time with floorboards a draggin'. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Good photos, Brian.  Will you be able to order some from KillBoy?  Never checked on that, but I assume he's selling them.  That one close-up profile shot of the right side is great.  You had the ole girl laying over from the looks of the non-existant ground clearance.  :o Har!  spyder   [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Hey, I thought you had those "up" slashed pipes?

Heard something scraping all the way around that corner.  From the looks of it, it was the stand.

Spyder, yes, I will be ordering some of these, just have to decide which ones.  I'd like one of the poster size jobbies of the one naitram posted to hang in the garage!  They are a little on the expen$ive side, but it might be a once in a lifetime deal, who knows?

WFP, switched out the trusty ol' one-piecs SE slash-ups for the two-piece SE performance muffs shortly before I left.  The jury is still out on the new pipes though.  They are actually more quiet than the (supposedly lower-performance) one-piece jobbies.  Not sure I like that, or the new look for that matter.  Guess I have gotten too used to the slash-up look, or something.

May have to get used to the look yourself.  But here's one vote for the new ones.  Looks good Brian.  That's a great picture.

103, who was it that kept on 'raggin' you about the slash-up pipes?    [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  I think it started about Soggy Valley #2, didn't it?  Or am I dreaming this?   [smiley=nervous.gif]  spyder
