Another Dragon run, '04 raTi, working the fat beast.....
« on: September 27, 2016, 05:50:48 PM »
On my return from Tallahassee. Took less than 24 hrs to get the US129 and Killboy photos. Was there just yesterday.

He did say that he was going to Shinko's after getting rid of the stockpile of Cheng Shens but I thought it only on his hack.

The footpegs were first to hit.
At least hinged so sort of nice to know your depth into the turn and adjust if needed. Center stand sort of wants more control of the situation when it hits. Luggage usually has "give" to it so you can still run the show when it scrapes.

Whose taking the pix?

Looks a whole lot like the style and format of the famous "Killboy", doesn't it?

He did say Killboy and US129.  Both are photo companies that sell photos online.
