It was seriously screwing with my ability as a photographer. I'm left eye dominant, which means that I can't use that eye to spot around the camera while waiting for the bikes to show up. I have to depend on my hearing both for safety and to know when the bikes are coming. There was only one of them that I could hear from more than the nearest corner in distance.

My favorite picture of my trip.

I was headed to the base of Mt. Rainier - at a pull over to take some pictures of the breathtaking view. A guy asked me if I would like to have my picture taken. Of course! He was even kind enough to point me out in the picture with his finger in front of the lens

It's about the best one I have from the track day this weekend. My brother was zoomed in as far as he could get, but unfortunately, almost all of the pics are still a bit blurry. Oh well, figure I'll submit the pic anyway. Oh, and this is about all the lean the strom has in it. I scraped peg a LOT, and the back end got squirrelly a few times.

Where are your bags, I woulda thunk that you would have ridden with them on to make a point

I thought about it, but wasn't sure how much lean I'd have with the bags on. However, I think I made a good point by riding to the track, taking off the bags, riding the track, putting the bags back on, then riding home.
