    Your shots are AWESOME
    Your shots are very good and I like the last best.thumb.gif

    About the the ( Old Guys at +25 ) The last bike I road was a 1981 CR-480 4sp. That should show my age. Give us ( Old Guy's a Break ) we might be painting that $ 100,000.00 bike of your dreams to park in your garage. umph.gif

    Your photos do inspire me to do to be more agresive at the track. In the photo department. thumb.gif

    Practice, practice, practice....:D I see you have some shots posted so I'll take a look and comment there.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    Thomas, Sid, thanks for the kind words as well.

    Now if I can get it to stop raining on the weekends I may be able to get back to the track before winter sets in.
