[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1088672, member: 277"] As Fred said, the weather was perfect and it sure looked like everyone had a good time. We lost some of the regulars due to familiarity and lack of any new games, but we also had some new riders joining us that want to do it again. The 'beams had a blast yet again, we really enjoy the area. I have 7.38e6 pictures to sort through, I assume I will find some worth posting but life has other plans for me over the next month or so. As far as our unblemished record getting blemished, it was mostly strange stuff. We had zero mph FJR dominoes when parking was too steep for side stands and a little push started Bad Things. We also had another zero mph FJR dominoes at the hotel when someone toppled parked bikes. We had one minor incident in a construction area, and there were LOTS of road destruction all over. The most disturbing incident happened with a video camera and unnecessary shooting of runs through Smuggler's Notch. While the rider steps up and says that he knows that his actions resulted in the ditch diving; if the camera wasn't there the back and forth runs probably wouldn't have occurred and [I]possibly[/I] the speed would have been less. Cameras shooting the scenery - good; cameras shooting FJRs riding hard - bad. Don't be that clip on Youtube. On the other hand, after all the uh-ohs everyone pitched in and helped patch parts, donated bits 'n pieces and a little redneck engineering to get all the bikes back in riding condition. A big thanks to FJRed for the use of his garage, tools and skills to heal some of the worst damage. [/QUOTE]
