Cool pics from today's ride, 3-5

[MCA8690]

me and my buddy (also Michael, on a 954RR) decided to hit the road today, and he brought along his digital SLR camera so we could get some cool shots of each other...
Met him out in Boring, OR, and we mostly stayed within about 25 miles of there, just did a cool loop (back roads, then Bull Run and ended up in Sandy?) then road back towards downtown together (26 to I84).
Saw a cool blacked out lambo Gallardo parked in front of big car place on 26, right between Sandy and turn-off for Boring.
Seemed like every car we passed wanted to race or watch a wheelie; some funny moments, for sure :D
"Mike, did I get it to crest at all?!"

Mentally challenging, for me, to carry much speed past that fence.....

come on now, stand that fucker up!

haha trying to, just taking it nice and slow powering up in 1st..... something like, "there's nothing worse than riding a bike you can't afford to wreck" or whatever? yeah, haha that's me. lol
I'm going to work on clutching up 2nd from now on I think, but I still have to get comfortable w that. I don't know, it's more violent when it pops up in clutching so I just gotta get over that mental hump..

damn I wish I had a dirt bike or some dirt experience, so I wouldn't have to freak about dropping her...
