Help me find some dragon photos, please.

I'm looking for a good snaps of the white SV645, specifically from Saturday and Sunday. The rider has a black helmet, red/black/white jacket.

I'm also looking for Sunday morning shots of a Grey SV1000 with saddlebags and lots of trash bags for top bags.

Thanks in advance! My laptop is having a hard time viewing all those thumbnails.

Hi Mav, on killboy the Saturday photos are currently being uploaded and Sunday says photos coming soon.

us129photos has pics of Saturday and Sunday up.

For some reason tho, I don't see ANY pictures of sportbikes with saddlebags in the Sunday pictures. I counted at least 4 photographers on Sunday. I really want to find the picture of my roommate with his garbage bag loaded SV on the Dragon.

Maybe killboy will have it. Is us129 another photographer?

Yes, IIRC there are four photographer groups... I only know of two.

Some Yamaha guy has a really good shot of me hanging off in a sharp turn (there was a large group of R1/R6's parked in the inside of curve.)

Mav I did see a pic of a bike with trash bags posted somewhere, and I think someone also posted all the picture guys too, have to take care of something, will come back and check later...

I sent you a PM with a bunch of links to our group...while we were with the Monkey riders...and just SVs.

Hey Mav, here's a few of you from Friday.

Wow, how tall is this rider? The SV looks frigging monsterous under him. Me? At 6'2", I look like I'm riding a scooter!

When my wife and I went to the Dragon this year, we got photos from KillBoy, Z-Foto.com, US129photos.com, and MoonshinePhoto.com. They may have more pics for you...

LOL

Mav is built like a Formula 1 driver... ;)

What are you, Mav, 5'2" or so?

I think this was Thursday. Not on the Dragon, not in motion, but it's your bike.

I was going to guess 5'4", but I think Tambo answered it with class;)

Nice touch...Formula 1 driver ;D

Moonshine caught you, but I didn't see the trash bike.

Hehe, I'm 5'3", 140# fully geared.

People keep on telling me to lower the bike so I can flatfoot, I'd rather it be able to turn. I don't need to do the duck walk, just give me enough room to do the kickstand 180!

Thanks for the pic Verbal, I'll be looking for more pics.

As for the trash bags, it was my idea. My roommate had to carry the tent and two folding chairs home. The trash bag on the seat is keeping the memory foam pillow dry. The bags on the tail are holding his sleeping bag and dirty laundry. He must have packed his gear wrong on the way back because there were only 2 trash bags on the bike when we got here.

On Sunday I ended up scraping both sides of the lower fairing on the Dragon. Must not have been hanging off enough. Hopefully next year I'll have at least a two piece with knee sliders.

See? I was darned close! ;)

It doesn't matter how tall or short you are... obviously.

Maviryk is fast, and I'm slow. :p

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!1111ONEONEONE!!!

I found my favourite photo!

I couldn't hang off anymore! The tank bag was in the way(short arms). If you look carefully, you can see where the fairing scraped. I'm pretty sure I'm scraping the left side in that picture too!

Thanks a lot guys!

Oh, I like this one too.

Ha, we were hauling ass down it. So glad the cop let us pass.

Haha yea dude! I guess he didn't care because I stayed in second gear the whole way. Didn't feel like upshifting for the straight aways.

I did see you "toed" the double yellow! :P

I'm half considering driving back up the dragon on the way home to Indiana.

Yeah man do it! I am thinking of going back in 2 weeks with some friends from work.

Go ahead....make us people who live 9+ hours away jealous.

ehhh im only 6+ hours away! But you have a nice trailer!

Where there any of our group on Moonshine? I don't think I noticed any....I got some from Zee and Killboy...even US129.

6 hours....lucky....at least that's only a half day ride. 9 hours is a bit much. The trailer helps, but doesn't do any good if you don't have the time off for travel:'(

Hey Mav -

How 'bout the mother-f*cking front page?!?

Good catch Rob!

I looked through there before...didn't think I noticed him. I would have loved to see Dave's SV all packed up and covered in trash bags.....that would have gotten some comical tag for sure.

Aye, thank you.

Jeopardy and his ATC are up there now. SVRider has more fun than any other group ever. Its on the internet, it must be true.

Probably because we have the most diverse crowd of people. If you look at GSXR riders...they all look the same. Many of the other groups are that way too.

It take some crazy people to make the most out of a girl's bike and rock it with confidence!;D

Well said.

There was dragonflyfotos or some crap up there too, and no, I'm not affiliated.

Looks like they are only there on weekends. They only have pics from Saturday.
Doesn't look like most of them are on par with Killboy and the others though.

[/threadjack]

Trambo I dunno about being fast... it took a bit of effort to keep up with ya'll on the Cherohala Skyway(wait... was it you or Verbal I was tailing on the Cherohala?). Man I loved those turns!

I was more comfortable on the right and curves than the left handers.

By the end of the rally I was getting a bit used to the left handers.

Here's a couple pics on the last day on the fully laden SV, if you look closely you can see where the lower fairings are scraping due to too soft of a spring on my rear shock. Kinda hard to hang off with the stupid tank bag in the way and short arms.

NONE of the photographers saved a picture of Dave on his 1k with the trashbags. >:(

Ha! Awesome pics, Mav! :thumbsup:

Sweet pics! Wish I could have made it this yr!

Hell...do what we're doing....head out NOW! OKay....maybe not at this moment, but hopefully KillBoy is still out sweeping the dragon and taking pictures when we roll through in October!

Otherwise....we'll see everyone there again next June!!!

Maviryk.. your bike is sweet, man.

I love that swingarm.
