Maryville Tennessee back to Maryville Tennessee
Here it is. Track day. Well, not really. But this is one of the reasons I put this into my route.

Accident on the gap. In the first pic, you can see the guy's knee bone. In the last one, the streams are melted aluminum from his bike frame.
Killboy.com is a group of photographers that take up to 10,000 pictures over a weekend (there were 890 for just sportbikes on Friday). These are pictures taken by them of my ride. They just take as many pics of riders with different aspects and different lenses. They charge 5 bucks for a CD and up to 43 bucks for a 23"x36" print. That's how they make their money.
I personally like the first pic, however Rita likes the frontal view which also looks nice.
Someone else taking pictures had me pose for this shot. I think, along with the first killboy pic, these are the two best shots all around
After I returned, I posted a couple of the pics up on Sport-Touring.Net and someone vandalized one of my pics. Looks great, doesn't it :)
In addition, over on the Hayabusa.org, I received a compliment:
Carl...I observed your riding first hand at the Busa Bash and it was readily apparent to me that you're a well seasoned rider with some seriouse skills.... JINKSTER. High praise for someone who's been riding sportbikes only since September of 2003.
