Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny, clear day, about 60° here in Livermore and in SF.rztom wrote:
Definiety more pics from the event, pleeze
But all my riding buddies bailed out and didn't want to make the journey up.
I was not going to go but then decided WTF, just drive up
I figured I would take a gazillion pictures for fun so I grabbed my camera and some snacks and hit the road.
Frame maker warned me that this event is held in what is maybe not the best part of town. He was right about that. Driving in wasn’t so bad. Driving out the folks in the hood were fixing their cars 2 wide in the street making for a single lane to get out.
I have to shorten my story so…
I pulled up and parked and began walking down the street to the event. I pulled my camera out to chronicle my whole time here. I turned the camera on and the camera said
NO FLASH CARD
What a stooge. I left it in my computer. So sorry no pics from me.
But I found a utube that will give a good taste of what it was like, enjoy
Oh yes, NSFW (you have been warned)

One more tidbit, when the DB bikes arrived they come flying down a side street and haul ass right in to the crowd to get to where you see them doing burnouts. One of the leader guys, not on a DB bike but on a late model blacked out Harley, hit his rear brake as he made the turn in to the crowd off of the street and proceeded to high side. He flew off the bike on to the asphalt landing at the feet of a bunch of spectators. Fortunately he was OK and got right up. Ouch.
It looks like there are a whole bunch of utubes now
