12/31/2006: "Last Ride of the 2006"
mood: relaxed
So, with it being the last day of 2006 AND the weather looking good for the day (a high in the mid-60s), I decided to head to the Rock Store for breakfast this morning after my workout.
I made good time getting there and had a little fun along the way 
Once I got there I got my new camera out and started taking pictures. I was experimenting with the "Panormic-mode" and was able to come up with this:
I think it came out pretty good (except of the phantom Chopper wheel). Shortly after I finished taking these pictures, I heard the sound of a jet engine. Since I had heard it before in these parts, I knew it could be none other than Jay Leno on his Jet Bike.
As you can see, it gathers quite a crowd. Maybe even more than Jay Leno was getting by himself . . but it was pretty close.
I decided to walk around a bit after my breakfast and look at some of the bikes. You can tell Christmas had been good to a lot of riders. Apparently, Santa likes Bikers too 
Below are a couple of pictures of a tricked out R1, a picture of a blinged out GSXR and a very trick Cruiser. On the rear picture of the R1, notice there is no undertail exhaust 
Once I was done looking and the crowd had calmed down after Jay Leno's departure, I dediced to head up to the overlook and get a few pictures up there:
I hung out there for a bit a chatted it up with a few guys there. The overlook has always been a more intimate environment, so it's a lot easier to strike up a conversation with a stranger there.
Since I did want to watch some football today too. I decided to go ahead and get some more pictures from the top of Stunt Road before I headed home to watch some football on the big screen.
As you can see from the picture below, it's not called Stunt Road because that's where all the stunting is done. The road is literally called Stunt.
All and all, a good day of riding. Didn't see any accidents, the weather was mild and the only thing I saw getting chased by the police was a Subaru WRX
