Alpha's picture thread

[Alphamazing]

Here's a place I can post pictures without creating a bunch of new threads for each one. Feel free to post your own, if you want.


Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Monterey, CA. I took this on Saturday before the MotoGP races on top of the highest hill there.

highest hill

I went to Bryn Mawr college.  Welsh for "High hill."

You went to where? oh my gosh....i'm older then you but still small world.
I grew up around there.

You can't see the straight away heading into turn 1 from there, can you?

Did you stay to see the race (Hayden's win)?

[Alphamazing]

You can't see the whole straight going into Turn 1, but I like Turn 2 better (the hairpin). I stayed for the whole race, and was stationed at the Corkscrew for the last two days, pretty much. I walked around everywhere on Day 1 and the beginning of Day 2. Day 3 I was stuck at the corkscrew in direct sunlight for 9 hours straight with no wind. It was worth every minute. Those MotoGP bikes sound absolutely intoxicating.

That is the exact same picture that was used in an Acropovic (I think) add right after the race.  That picture is everywhere.  So cool.

I'm very jealous.

Great pic.  Too bad you left your ratty ass hand in the frame! :lol:

[Alphamazing]

Psh. Both my hands were on the camera. That was some jerk in front of me. I'm glad that I had the oppourtunity to take the picture, instead of using some company picture, too.

[Roadstergal]

I would have bitten it.

Looking at the burnout picture makes me wonder what's gonna happen when the flag gets caught in the chain...

[Roadstergal]

Burning is a proper means of disposal for a flag.  I dunno about chain-shredding.

Rossi at The Corkscrew.


It was fairly blurry before, but I did my best.

[indestructibleman]

it really looks like the bike just fell over on him and he's pinned there.

I was at that race aswell, I watched that Moto GP race from that same hill. Do plan on going back next year? Jimmy

[Alphamazing]

Depending on my monetary situation at the time, yes; I definitely want to go back. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. Hopefully I'll be able to get a camping spot in the park, rather than at Toro next time.

that is awfully small for such a big snowman

[Alphamazing]

That picture wasn't exactly the type I was expecting or intending for this thread...

Whatever.

[Alphamazing]

I'll gladly revive my own thread.

My girlfriend and I went to feed the ducks a few weeks ago and I took a bunch of pictures. Y'all only get these two for now!





Also went on a ride on Saturday. Decided to take a few pictures. Here's one of them:
