THE DRAGON

ovrkll · 05-26-2008, 05:13 PM

WooHoo! What a blast!!

Great meet-up with some enthusiasts and fortunately the roads were fairly clear, LEO was away on the first run down, and couldn't quite catch us doing anything wrong on the way back

Have to do this again some other time. Nice meeting everyone!

wrh3 · 05-26-2008, 07:24 PM

It was great meeting everyone that came out today, the Dragon was not as heavily policed as it has been in the past and Hellbender and the Cherohala Skyway were police free. Lots of good driving with great weather.....and made it home before dark

Here are some pics from today, if you shoot me your email I can send you hi-res versions......

Thhat was soo much fun!!! Im gonna post the pics that i took later tonight. Ovrkll, i wish yall could have stayed to ride the cherohala skyway, sorry if I spelled that wrong, lol. Much better curvs, easily taken at 80+, didnt have to worry about traffic cause they all moved out of the way so we could FLY by, for the most part. After everyone left it started raining in Sweetwater so the dragon is soaked now but i was gonna go get another run in before I left, "at the speed limit" LOL!!! But really, that was the most fun that I have had in a long time, just wish that atleast half of the people that said that they would come, would have come. It would have been even more fun! Must do this again next year!

Shots of the Cherohala Skyway

Hey BlackSapphireZ, how was your fishing trip? Did you catch any switchbacks, excuse me, I mean fish?

ovrkll · 05-28-2008, 11:37 AM

Some of the pics taken by the roadside photographers are starting to show up. Found this link earlier today:

http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/store.aspx?p=47850

Hopefully Killboy's and the rest will show up soon!

ATX750i · 05-28-2008, 02:34 PM

What were the other photographers websites that were out there?

ovrkll · 05-28-2008, 04:12 PM

Have to give you the links later, they are on my laptop at work. I do know that the main one to look for is:

www.killboy.com and follow the pic links

ATX750i · 05-28-2008, 04:39 PM

I know of Killboy.com, thats the only one that I have been looking on so far but there was a guy in a silver civic that got pics of me and my co-pilot on our way down on the first run before I met up with everyone.

fishing trip was a so so but i did save over $500 instead of going to the dragon so it's worth it

ATX750i · 05-28-2008, 11:04 PM

Ah, well I wish you would have been there, I wanted to see the brakes swap that you did. how did you save $500 in gas, I think that I drove the furthest and went thru 6 states and spent $350 in gas round trip. Unless gas up north is somewhere around $4.50 a gallon. ???

ovrkll · 05-29-2008, 11:42 AM

And some more pics are up! JHastings, I think this is the guy you were referring to that took pics on your way to the meet.

Damn,,,,pictures can be expensive!!! Gonna order some at hi-res on CD so that I have the option on how big to reproduce them, and for just cheap family photos, I can send via e-mail or use my small photo-printer

Still waiting to see what Killboy posts up before I order anything. Really do hope we get a mention in his blog/weekly update

BTW,,,I really have to order one of me being followed by the LEO, just too funny.

Cheers guys!

DocRiSK · 05-29-2008, 09:06 PM

Wow! That was awesome, especially that first run up the Dragon!

Ovrkll and Dtothepowerofp - you really missed an awesome ride on the Cherhola Skyway. Beautiful scenary and awesome high speed curves!

Thanks to all those who came out and made this meet a great day!

I have posted a new thread under the photos section so we can have all the pics and any video in one place. http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145888
