I told you photography was one of my interest thanks to you and gator! Sorry gator for outshining the rest of your pics. but i know you'll top it

Photography is really not an interest of mine! I just bought that camera to try and be cool like Gatorduc! I realized it takes too much time and effort to take good pictures, Time and effort I can be using towards getting drunk and bullshitting (what i'm really good at).

I dunno... this picture might be the one that makes me change my avatar.

Should be titled Ben... there, done that.

Do it, Do it!! Even though I love Nicky (you're my boy Nicky!!), it would be cool to see one of my pics as an avatar!! Or maybe you weren't serious Kesh, shucks. Oh well, I thought it was witty either way.

More Pics, More Pics.....



This was one of the cooler looking contraptions on two wheels. I don't know why i didn't shoot the name of the manufacturer on the bike. Also, although cool looking, I can't imagine the effort it would take to go through the twisties on that front tire.

Here's Chrisflyhigh trying to mack on some faceless chicky. I can't remember what she looked like as I was too busy receiving drinks from Arrabi, Jum, CK, and another Chris. Chrisflyhigh, did not seal the deal. I'm assuming the young lady's idea of a good time was NOT having a one night stand in a camper with a bunch of drunk dudes.

Here's some old dude dancing with Mrs. Gator. This is funny. CK whispers in my ear....."Dude, that's Gresini, from Gresini Honda." This old cat is so f'in cool looking, i think. OK, it's Mr. Gresini. So he's dancing with Jaime, I'm shooting picks, and he tries to get a few kissy, kissies from her. Now Jaime gets nervous and dances off. I walk over to him and say "Are you Mr. Gresini", and he says, "who's Gresini?". What an ....... I am.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but who are all the people's faces on his helmet (and what's the significance of the turtle on his visor)?

And here I swear, Rossi was looking at us, as we were the only ones with cameras inside turn 5's apex..

Fiat launched its Fiat 500 in the USA, there was a contest where the first 500 people to submit a snapshot of their faces would be on the Bike, leathers and helmet.

If only I knew about this contest, my mug shot would be on one of the bikes.

The first time me and chopper went to Donny, the one where ROSSI passed the finishing line sat side saddle on his bike & waving at the crowd!

We were watching the last few laps of the free practice on the Friday, sat up in one of the grandstands, just past first bend, he did a wheelie and waved, right in front of us! When we looked around we were the only ones there, he did do it for us. Awesome.

to all of you laguna protagonists, thank you so much for this topic!



arrab, what a charming daughter you have

the pics on the bikes are from 500 people who submitted their photos to commemorate the fiat 500 but the helmet is rossi´s idea to match the theme and those are the pics from people he loves and care about , his team, his father, uccio, and some others i can´t recognize ... and no uccio´s pic was not highlighted instead , the pic in the very center is one from jerry burgess

by the way ,awesome pics gator and very funny stuff from jumkie &co

What I would do for one of those!

Ok, I'm back home. Just in time to go to a party with CK. I got Gator's pics in email, so I'll be writing up the "Dani...Te Amo!" story soon.





But mean while does anybody remember when Rog & I were interviewed by track announcer?
