Yep. They are set up every weekend and most weekdays at a couple of of strategic and photogenic spots. They take pics of all vehicles of note going by and then upload to their website that night. If you like the pic they took of you, you can purchase for a reasonable fee. Good service. I have one of their pics hanging in my office.

Their are roads here in SoCal that have similar services.

Gotta love free enterprise!

I would be afraid of getting a scared look lol

Bede5man · 06-12-2012, 12:31 PM

Yeah, that's where this pic came from...I can't remember which service/site, but it was only a buck! Memorial Day special as I recall.

I was so impressed at the shuttering speed and the zoom detail achievable on a non-cooperative target that was moving and unaware of the photographer...wow! I guess if you spend enough money for the camera that's what you can get!

Nice matching helmets -- why not the jackets?

Bede5man · 06-12-2012, 02:14 PM

Personal preference, like the boots. She just happened to like the features of my Sy-Max II and got one...same size even, LOL.

als2052 · 06-12-2012, 02:18 PM

Most likely Killboy.com

Bede5man · 06-12-2012, 02:28 PM

Yeah, probably Killboy. I think there were 2 other sites, but it's been a while.

I think thats a great snapshoot of you two on that MC. Thanks for sharing. I would love to get one for me and the wife

4Raven · 06-24-2012, 06:14 PM

Yeah two sites
Killboy.com
us129photos

you can buy from both, one offers a little more like mugs, tshirts I think...

Great Pics!!!
Have you been on the Snake? I like it better than the Dragon...during the week there was absolutely no one on it....

Bede5man · 06-25-2012, 11:13 PM

Nope, where's the Snake? You mean the Diamondback?

This is the snake...I only got to ride a small portion of it...will most likely ride the whole thing this year....fun...watch for dogs though...

R1200R · 06-26-2012, 09:25 AM

that's awesome... nice photo and nice bike. I'd love to get a picture of me riding someday..

Badlands-4-2 · 06-26-2012, 09:50 AM

The dragon is on my someday list for sure. Looks like you two were having fun.

Bede5man · 06-26-2012, 11:53 AM

Ahh, so...The Snake.

No, never heard of it; goes through the tri-cities area, huh?

I'd ride The Dragon as soon as I could, as a precaution against losing the chance. As time goes by, more and more folks are showing up and thinking it's their own little slice of heaven to play on as they please. I see the day coming when it is HEAVILY regulated...it's a public highway, you know.

Cheers.
