This guy's all geared up properly but I thought I'd post this up. It happened right in front of me yesterday on Palomar. Apparently I was too slow for him so he dove to the inside of me approaching the turn (a big no-no on that mountain, everyone knows that) he was too shallow and sitting completely straight up on the bike. I thought to myself "he's not going to make it" as I round the turn I see him sliding on the ground. He was fine. The bike was fine. He was just embarrassed because he knew he made a dumb move.

My friends and I left as soon as we saw this guy show up. :innocent:

But there were a lot of people there throughout the day.

There you go, that's the right direction on that side of the road.

I know we said we wouldn't pick on cruisers, but...
At least he's got a decent full face helmet on and not a skull cap.

Geez. Lotsa bad riders out there, both in form & in protective gear! :(
 
Dang... the guy who fell trying to cut off Jon... That's just unreal. So unnecessary...
 
Loving the pics, Jon! Keep 'em coming!
 
I went to see some cousins this past Sunday. I saw many bikers out on HWY 49 in MS. Not one had proper gear. I mean it's hot outside and it's not like they are on twisties so I feel thats fine, doesn't bother me. BUT!! I wish I had me camera.. the blond chick ridding a GSXR1000 was just damn smokin.. :drool:

I waved at her while stopped at a traffic light.. My finacee slapped me in the back of the head and said "why don't you hop on the back of her bike then!"

and I replied.. "Come on.. you would too!" Fiancee: "... true.."
 
Jon's not taking the pics. There is a photog out there taking pics and Jon just snags them from the website where they are posted.
 
My usual sources.

1904Photography By: Phillip Baker

Rick Clemson Sports Photography

Highway 94 Photography - San Diego County's Premier Motorsports Photos !

JP - Imagery

They can get up to 600 or 700 pictures on any given weekend day on Palomar, and highway 94. You'll notice the vast majority of the pictures, particularly from Rick Clemson and 1904 on Palomar, are people in full leathers, many of which are dragging knee. These are kind of the Meccas for sportbikers in the San Diego area. Both of those roads are pretty void of normal car traffic on the weekends and heavy on bike traffic.
 
Here's a few examples of some of their really good work.

Me in all my crossed up glory 2 turns after dude went down in front of me. Needless to say I was a touch shaken up after that and not really riding with my best form.

Another friend of mine, Xavier, on his Aprilia also from Sunday while we were up there.

These are all more of a "What to wear when carving a canyon road that's treated like a race track" type pics. :D

Jonkerr - wish i would have known you were in San Diego! I have been here for 3 weeks, and this past weekend went up to Palomor Mountain and did some shooting of my own ;). I also did a photoshot for a guy on the R6 forums...

I got several people to buy some of my prints / HighRes digitals :) (im cheap, haha). I also saw Rick Clemson up there and talked for a few, i think he didn't like i was their though ;), haha.

Here is some of my stuff... ill post more in a later thread. Im currently going through 650pics of 40 different riders, many of which you have posted, haah

this was my FIRST time ever shooting motorcycles, so im told i did well:thumbup:. ill make a thread once i go through my 'good' ones:p
 
Looking good! You'll find you see a lot of the same regulars there week after week. You planning on going there this coming weekend? I was thinking about heading up there early on either Saturday or Sunday before the family BBQ. Let me know.

That's actually Jerico. He was doing some video shooting for Stretch (Phil from 1904)
Click to expand...

Ahhh, i see. He was PM'ing me on the R6forum about a 'Phil' and 'Jerico'. I got confused who was who:surrender:. I had 650 pics though and i only blurred and missed ~50, so i can officially say im happy with my keeper ratio:D.

Ill post more, since you guys seem to like them. When im done, ill just make a new thread! Maybe link my flickr portfolio or something. Also before you say it, no im not posting 600, im trying to pick the best 50 or so unless a rider wanted pic's of themselves...

Ill be gone next weekend, i was only out her for TDY. Its a shame i didn't ask if anyone here was from SD, cause i would have love to do a shoot with a fellow member! Maybe next time i come out;)?
 
Yeah I would have loved to know when you were there and do kind of a personal shoot. Maybe if you come down again sometime.

I'm actually possibly getting a digital SLR for my birthday this year. Not anything really high end. But better than a POS point and shoot. I got into photography when I was in high school. That was long before digital. We did our own dark room exposures and everything. Was pretty cool.
