Shots from October 3-5 and previous dates are here!
Heads Up!
Be aware that leaves are starting to fall into the road. They don't have that much affect on traction when they're dry, but be careful if they're wet.
Thursday - October 9, 2003
Well the bear hunters, or should I say dog hunters, since, as Jacob and Noah pointed out, they spend more time tracking THEM down, came and went without permanently screwing up TOO much of their surroundings. There was some junk left here and there, but the road came out pretty much unscathed this year. I spent some time shooting (pictures) near them, as I was interested in hearing some of what they had to say. The usual: Everyone else is crazy and endangering the lives of them and their dogs by going so fast. They seemed to stay cool and didn't start any trouble that I know of, which is more than I can say for some of my fellow riders from Kentucky.
Folks, would it be asking so much to just leave the ego at home when we come to the Gap? Bringing in your crew, crashing at least twice, passing cars on the outside of blind turns, (in front of my eyes) and doing wheelies without even wearing helmets doesn't give you much room too be jumping in another rider's face and telling him how to ride just because he passed your whole group on a dirtbike. I understand not everyone in the group was trying to brawl....you decent guys may want to be more choosie in picking your riding partners.
My apologies to whoever was in the pickup truck with bikes in tow that had to see the naked hitch-hiker in the Gap Saturday night. Jacob got bored. So I'm making a night run, checking out the road since a cruiser had just got towed out hanging UPSIDE DOWN from the back of the tow truck and I figured there would be a trail of fluid. (clear) During my run up, Lori carries Jacob up the street, he strips down and when he hears me coming, goes bouncing across the road in front of me bare ass. I nearly crashed laughing. Lori goes back to pick him up in her car, and he decides to screw with here and stand there naked hitching....only it's not her...it's some guys in a truck pulling bikes. Scarred for life.
So anyway, here are the pitchurz:
