Wait...  How'd you do that?

I was sitting on the back of the bike. I stuck my arm out, took the picture. Voila. I think I had some zoom on, too.

Who was driving?
Very nice pic.  That's why I want to be a passenger sometime.  I want to take pics.

My father was driving with me strapped on the back. This was about 2 years ago, actually; I wasn't riding motorcycles at the time.

Yeah, I saw some pictures you took on your F that were similar. That's what inspired me to post this one.

Nope. 2002 Yamaha FZ1, before his modifications.

Well, it isn't like there are many defining features in that picture. Good guess though.

I've got some more "action" pics. They're on the computer at home though. I'll post them in the image thread (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21330) I started when I get the chance.

OK...  I really wanna take pics while I'm riding, but I don't think it would be worth the death I would suffer...

I was wondering if you had some kind of mount or something......


All makes sense now.   :thumb:

:lol: Those Riding The Dragon videos were great. I thought it was funny how you could hear him scraping something or other through every turn. The guy on the yellow Gold Wing in front of him was an impressive rider.

Cherhola Skyway was an absolutely different road, nothing but VERY high speed sweepers. I think when my father and I were running it we were keeping in the 90+ range. Difficult on the GS, piece of cake on his FZ1. The Dragon was CRAZY to ride with him, non-stop turning, non-stop fun.

I can't wait to go there myself!
