A great day to ride the Dragon (Pictures)

[Rayabusa0818]

It was a beautiful day so five of us, Daniel (chattanoogabusa), Kevin (fishhook), Charlie (cwwskw3), his son Alex and me headed to the Dragon...

What is a ride without pictures of motorcycles at a gas station...here is Daniel with Alex in the background...

Charley's blue beauty...

Kevin and Alex...

Hello...

What's up Kevin...

Bikes at the CROT...this is the first ride I have been on where the GEN2s outnumbered me...of course there is the obligatory "other" brand...

Daniel and Kevin...

Something tells me that we are early....

Thanks to Daniel's little tripod I was able to get into the shot....

Back home...the Busa tire doesn't look so new any more...

Another milestone reached...

Great day, great ride

I really enjoyed meeting and riding with Daniel, Charley, and of course young Alex

Let's do it again really soon...like next weekend

you guys suck!! I roade through there twice today and I think I even saw the blue/gold gen II at the store but I was looking for the black/grey gen II! Of course I couldnt get a signal on my cell or I would have called. I just got home about 10 minutes ago. went to the dragon(couldnt find you guys), so I finally went down the skyway and came back up 411 to the house. Oh well...maybe next time.

Tommy at tailofthedragon.com gave me a copy of his new CD...I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but he said to tell everyone that it is available at iTunes

yep, to be honest...I like the skyway batter than the dragon anyway. Only bad spot of the day is I stopped to help a rider that went down right before the skyway. Had a skullcap on so of course it busted his face up pretty good. When will those cruiser guys figure out those things are just for looks?

Big day for me and Alex....thanks for the good times. I must not have been paying attention, I did not see you taking all these pictures!

I'm sorry you had to deal with than and know exactly what you mean. I get laughed at a lot when I'm on my cruiser

I think there was some grip on the rear one. That is if you believe the talk about some old man riding about a quarter mile on the rear wheel:semi:

Silly question... where exactly is this 'Dragon' everyone is so keen on riding?
